Doosan Robotics A0912 (A-series)

How A0912 (A-series) compares within +/- 5 kg payload.

Doosan's value-tier line. 9 kg / 1.2 m at $25-35K. Competes with UR5e on price, UR10e on reach.

Why this cobot costs what it costs.

The A-series is Doosan's response to the cobot category's price-sensitive entry tier — pitched against UR5e on absolute price and UR10e on reach. Treat the $25-35K band here with more suspicion than any other row in the table: the sources disagree with each other and with us. Standard Bots puts the A-series at 'over $40,000' for North America, which is above our band, while Unchained Robotics in Europe has historically listed in the high twenties, at the bottom of it. Doosan publishes nothing. At the low end it would be substantially cheaper than a UR10e ($45-60K) at slightly less payload (9 vs 12.5 kg) and comparable reach (1.2 vs 1.3 m); at Standard Bots' figure that advantage largely disappears. This pricing only pencils if the buyer is comfortable with a younger product line and a thinner integrator network. Doosan A-series doesn't have UR's installed base, ABB's industrial heritage, or FANUC's service moat — it's competing on bare-arm price. For a second-cobot purchase by an existing Doosan-savvy operations team, the math works; for a first cell, the savings often disappear into higher integration spend. Treat the price band as illustrative, not anchored — verify directly with Doosan's North American distributor before budgeting.

Vendor-specific Bill of Materials.

These line items are what Doosan Robotics cells specifically need, beyond the bare arm. On our model the arm is 25-50 percent of the installed cell, a 2x to 4x multiplier, and these items are most of the difference. Costs below are our own estimates unless they name a published source.

Target buyer profile.

Cost-sensitive 9-kg-class applications. Second-cobot purchases by operations teams already familiar with Doosan or comfortable with smaller integrator networks.
