Overview
Medium-payload 6-axis collaborative robot arm from US maker Standard Bots, formerly sold as the RO1 and now called Core: 18 kg payload, 1.3 m reach, ±0.025 mm repeatability and 32.5 kg arm weight. Standard Bots lists linear speed up to 3 m/s, 200 W typical and 1,500 W peak power, a 12 V / 24 V tool supply and PoE at the wrist, with an optional wrist camera. It is programmed on a touchscreen with no-code visual programming or by demonstration, and has a REST API, a Python SDK and a TypeScript API for developers. The company markets it for machine tending, welding, palletizing, pick-and-place, polishing and inspection.
Will the Standard Bots Core (RO1) do your task? Simulate it before you buy.
Four cobots on the same palletizing task, simulated before purchase.
We build your station in a simulator with the Standard Bots Core (RO1) and one or two alternatives, and send you video plus cycle time, parts per shift, reach and payload check, and a payback estimate. Scoping is free, and every project is quoted individually.

A search snippet quoted '$37k list' on other Standard Bots pages, but the fetched comparison pages (compare/kuka, compare/fanuc) also show $39,500, so $39,500 is used. |

Key facts
- Standard Bots page (fetched 2026-10-17): Core payload 18 kg, reach 1.3 m, repeatability ±0.025 mm, weight 32.5 kg, footprint under 200 mm diameter, peak 1,500 W, typical 200 W, 0-50 C, 90% RH non-condensing, tool supply 12 V / 24 V 6 A max, PoE at wrist, linear speed up to 3 m/s.
- Core help site (corehelp.standardbots.com, fetched 2026-10-17): joints up to 435 deg/s, control box 90-264 VAC, 24 V discrete I/O, Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP, REST API, Python SDK and TypeScript API. It also bars applications 'where ingress protection above IP54 is required'.
- DoF (6) comes from a Standard Bots RO1 datasheet PDF hosted by a third party (motionworld.com), not from the official Core page; treat it as third-party-derived. IP rating is left empty: the datasheet's IP54 is not stated on the official page (the help site only excludes uses needing more than IP54). The datasheet quotes 0-55 C where the official page says 0-50 C; the official figure is used. Core and RO1 are the same robot per Standard Bots' naming.
- The RO1 datasheet cites speed and force limiting per ISO/TS 15066; no certification for Core is listed on the official page, so certifications is empty.
- Standard Bots sells Spark (from $29,500, 7 kg, 900 mm), Core (from $39,500) and Thor (from $49,500, 30 kg, 2 m); Bolt (7 kg, 1.3 m) is in private beta. Those are separate models, not predecessors.
- Launch year is not stated on the fetched pages, so year_announced is empty.
- Image: Standard Bots' Core render from the official product page (1200 x 1200 px source, black studio background, whole robot). The black background is kept because the robot itself is black; the 'Standard Bots' lettering on the arm is part of the product. The background is a deliberate choice; no white-background official render was found.
