Robot arms for sale span palm-sized education kits, desktop cobots and research-grade manipulators. Many sell direct from the maker's online store with published list prices and short lead times, while larger systems use distributor quotes. The table shows source-verified pricing and current availability for every articulated arm in the RoboZaps database.
20 robot arms tracked · 15 with source-verified pricing · 19 commercially active
Every price carries its basis — official list, reported range or preorder guidance — and every availability claim links back to a primary source on the product page.

Desktop education arms like the myCobot and mechArm lines are consumer purchases built for learning and prototyping. Cobot-class desktop arms such as the DOBOT MG400 and Nova family carry real payloads and repeatability specs for light automation. Research manipulators — Reachy 2, Ambidex, the Unitree Z1 — are lab instruments with SDK-first designs and correspondingly higher budgets.
Payload, reach, repeatability and degrees of freedom decide whether an arm can do the job; the software stack decides whether you can program it for yours. Check ROS support, the gripper ecosystem and whether the controller is open before comparing prices — a cheaper arm with a closed controller often costs more by the time it works.
Every price carries a basis label — an official list price, a reported range or distributor guidance — sourced from the manufacturer, an authorized distributor or the press. Most desktop arms publish real list prices; where a maker sells only through quotes, the table says so instead of inventing a number.
For anything beyond an education kit, insist the quote covers the gripper or end-effector, controller and software licences, mounting hardware, shipping and duties, warranty scope and spare-part availability. End-effectors are sold separately more often than buyers expect, and they change the total materially.

Yes — more easily than any other robot category. Most desktop and education arms sell direct from the manufacturer's online store with published prices and ship internationally. Cobot-class and research arms may route through distributors or a sales conversation, and the comparison table on this page shows the current status for every arm RoboZaps tracks.
The range runs from pocket-money education kits to research manipulators costing as much as a car. Payload, reach, repeatability and the software ecosystem drive the difference. Every figure in the table above is source-verified and labelled with its basis, so you know whether you are looking at an official list price or a reported estimate.
Education arms are built for learning: light payloads, hobby-grade repeatability, open tooling, priced for individuals and classrooms. Cobots are certified collaborative arms with force limits, industrial repeatability and support contracts, built to run production tasks next to people. They overlap on the desktop but serve different jobs at different price tiers.
Pick an arm with an open SDK, ROS support and an active community over the one with the best headline spec. The desktop education tier in the table — the myCobot family, mechArm and similar kits — exists exactly for this, and the product pages record each arm's software ecosystem so you can compare before buying.
Often not. Grippers, suction kits and other end-effectors are frequently sold as separate accessories, even on education arms, and on cobot-class hardware the end-effector can be a meaningful share of the total cost. Always confirm what is in the box before comparing two prices.
Share the job, site constraints, budget, country, and timeline. RoboZaps will help compare the right robot category, manufacturer, buying path, and deployment risks.
