Chinese robotics company JAKA has introduced two new industrial robots, the Kargo50 and Zu50, at the 26th China International Industry Fair in Shanghai. The Kargo50 is a heavy-duty wheeled humanoid designed for material handling, while the Zu50 is a collaborative robot arm with a payload capacity of 110 pounds (50 kilograms). These additions aim to enhance factory automation and material movement.
The introduction of the Kargo50 expands JAKA's existing Kargo line, targeting heavier industrial applications by moving totes and materials across factory floors. The Zu50 enhances the collaborative robot arm portfolio with improved axis speeds and a maximum reach of 2,100 millimeters. These innovations are significant as they reflect JAKA's commitment to advancing industrial robotics and improving operational efficiency in manufacturing environments.
Looking ahead, JAKA is demonstrating the integration of mobile robots and robotic arms in coordinated tasks, showcasing a factory workcell at CIIF 2026. The company aims to streamline factory workflows through its JAKA EVO operating system, which combines cloud-based intelligence and edge computing. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
