What Else Should You Budget For?


  • Setup & Integration: These elements can be done in-house by your own team, or outsourced. Schedule a time to talk with our team about how we can maximize your efficiency and ROI.

  • Maintenance: Plan for about 5–10% of the robot’s cost annually. Blue Sky Robotics now offers the option of a RAAS (robotics as a service) model for businesses who prefer hands-on support indefinitely.

  • Programming & Training: Entry-level robots like the xArm and Fairino lines reduce these costs with user-friendly design.


When planning for automation, remember to factor in the total cost of ownership, not just the robot’s sticker price.


Which Cobot Capable Robot Should You Choose?


  • Getting started? Our xArm 5, Lite 6, and Fairino FR3/FR5 models are great low-cost, low-risk options.

  • Scaling up? The xArm 7, xArm 850, and Fairino FR10/FR16/FR20/FR30 offer larger payloads and reach to handle more complex tasks.

  • Need something heavy-duty? Consider Standard Bots RO1 or Universal Robots for industrial-grade payloads and advanced functionality.

  • Already have robots in place? Our software is fully compatible with most major brands—whether you bought them from us or somewhere else.
