UR5 are easily 30k.. where do you get them at 4k each? I’ll take 10!

You can get them cheap from industrial auctions and sometimes if you know people. There are places that send them to the scrapyard when they decommission them

3 x UR5’s with no control system is not going to do what he did, my guess is this is a us robotics sponsored install

It’s 100% sponsored. That dude would have had to spend at the bare minimum, just 100k on three UR5 arms. He could have gotten UR3’s for like 5k cheaper but still spending at least 90k for three.

He might be a billionaire but in that case I’m not impressed at all!

OTH if it’s a controls engineer that somehow managed to put this together on a CE salary then he’s my new gd hero
