What is it?
The Rainbow Robotics RB10 is the high-payload standard cobot in the RB series, rated at 10kg payload and 1300mm reach. It incorporates the same KAIST-developed torque sensing architecture as smaller RB models, extending collaborative force control to heavier task profiles.
Who is it for?
Manufacturers needing 10kg collaborative automation for palletising, heavy component assembly, and machine tending with larger fixtures. Integrators building heavy collaborative workcells where torque sensing and compliant control are required.

How it compares
The RB10 at 10kg/1300mm matches the Universal Robots UR10e specification directly. The RB10's integrated torque sensing differentiates it in force-controlled applications; the UR10e has superior global ecosystem and third-party peripheral support.
FAQ
Does the Rainbow RB10 compete with the Universal Robots UR10e?
Yes. Both offer 10kg payload and 1300mm reach. The RB10 differentiates through integrated joint torque sensing for force-controlled tasks; the UR10e leads on global integrator ecosystem and certified peripheral availability.
What is the RB10 used for?
Palletising, machine tending, heavy component assembly, and force-controlled manipulation tasks requiring 10kg collaborative payload.
What is joint torque sensing on the RB10?
Integrated sensors in each joint measure the torque applied at that joint in real time, enabling compliant control, precise force feedback, and improved collision detection compared to current-based safety monitoring alone.
