Referred to as the "Model-T" of robots by its creators, the UBR-1 one-armed robot is a $35,000 robot that will initially see deployment in research environments, but with such an advanced platform, could be launched into a variety of applications. With only one arm, the robot is both smaller and more affordable, which makes it more readily available on the open market. UBR-1 robots "see" with a Carmine 1.09 3D sensor from PrimeSense located in the head, and a Hokuyo URG-04LX-UG01 laser scanner in the base.
