About JAKA Robotics
JAKA Robotics is a high-tech manufacturer of collaborative robots (cobots) headquartered in Shanghai (Minhang District, China). Founded in 2014, the company originally came from classical industrial automation and later developed its own cobots, including the Zu series (e.g., Zu 20, Zu30, Zu50), the S Series with force control, the lightweight MiniCobo (1 kg payload), and the Pro Series with IP68 protection rating. In addition to cobots, JAKA develops humanoid robots such as JAKA Pi (1.22 m, 27 degrees of freedom) and the heavy, wheeled JAKA Kargo50 for heavy-duty tasks. According to its own statements, more than 10,000 JAKA cobots are in use worldwide, and the team comprises over 500 employees. The robots are used for applications such as pick and place, palletizing, welding, packaging, screwdriving, gluing, painting, and machine tending, among others in the automotive, electronics, new energy, household appliance, food, and metal industries. Locations and R&D centers are located in China, Japan, Malaysia, Germany (Fürth), and the USA (Phoenix). For Germany and Austria, A. Schweiger GmbH is the general importer.
