European Robot Manufacturers — KUKA, Universal Robots, Neura

The "Europe" hub gathers 50 manufacturer profiles from 12 countries: Germany (14), France (9), Switzerland (7), Denmark (6), the United Kingdom (3), Italy, Norway, Spain and Sweden (2 each), and Austria, Estonia and the Netherlands (one each). Poland has its own hub and is not part of this pool. The boundaries are geographic, not EU-based, so Switzerland and the UK are included, and 1X Technologies appears here as a Norwegian company although it also has a base in the US. 41 profiles have described models, 83 in total (as of 9 October 2026, n = 83).

In this overview Europe is the region of collaborative robots. 27 of 83 models (33%) are cobots, 15 are AMR mobile robots and there are as many humanoids. Two companies, KUKA (10 models) and Universal Robots (9), together contribute 19 models — almost a quarter of the catalogue (23%). The differences between the UR series are covered in “Universal Robots UR5e, UR10e and UR20 Compared”, and first steps when buying in “How to Buy a Cobot Step by Step”. Examples from the catalogue: UR5e and Neura MAiRA S among cobots, and KUKA KMP 600P among mobile platforms. There are 5 exoskeletons, including the Marsi Bionics ATLAS 2030 from the Spanish firm Marsi Bionics S.L.. Newly added entries include the Hexagon AEON humanoid from Sweden's Hexagon, the Kärcher KIRA B 50 cleaning robot and the AgXeed AgBot T2 5 Series autonomous tractor.

The maturity of the offer sits in the middle. 64 of 83 models (77%) are on sale — fewer than in China (88%) but clearly more than in the US (60%). Of the 15 European humanoids, 4 are on sale, 3 are on pre-order, 2 are in pilot use and 6 are prototypes; the group also includes research builds from universities and institutes, such as iCub from IIT in Genoa or LOLA from the Technical University of Munich.

The age of the companies confirms the picture. Among profiles with a founding year, firms founded before 2000 clearly outnumber those founded in 2020 or later. China has proportionally many more new firms. European start-ups do not lack capital: Neura Robotics has 1.4 billion USD of funding in the database, one of the highest amounts in the whole set.

USD prices exist for only 11 of 83 models (13%), so price conclusions rest on a small sample. For the 5 cobots with a price, the median is 35,000 USD and the range 5,850–45,000 USD (n = 5); prices come from various sources and are sometimes estimates. Availability in Poland, on the other hand, is clearly better than in the US: 28 of 83 models (34%) are flagged as available, against 0% across the Atlantic. 23 of them are KUKA, Universal Robots and AGILOX models, and the newly added entries available here include models from Kärcher, Husqvarna and FarmDroid. For warehouses and factories, the use-case pages “Warehouse and logistics” and factories and the categories “Cobots” and mobile robots are the natural next stops.
