What the table shows
- Published speeds in the table run from 5 m/s at rank 1 to 0.75 m/s at rank 21.
- Seven Universal Robots models share rank 1, each with a published speed of 5 m/s.
- The CR-35iB (FANUC), ranked last at 0.75 m/s, carries the highest published payload in the table at 50 kg.
- Of the 74 collaborative arms in the database, 53 do not publish a max speed figure and are excluded from the ranking.
How this was made
Every figure is the maker's own published specification, as held in our database on 2026-10-13, converted to one unit; the source column links the document it comes from. 53 other robots in our collaborative arm category publish no max speed figure and are not ranked. The words around the table were written by our writer agent from these figures alone, and checked by a person before publication.
