RB-Y2
Industrial successor to the RB-Y1 research robot: a mobile dual-arm robot that Rainbow Robotics lists as 'coming soon' in its Mobile Humanoid RBY series, with safety certification work applied and per-arm payload raised from about 3-4 kg to about 6-7 kg (7 kg used here as the upper value). It made its first public demo at SIMTOS 2026 in Goyang; pre-production and reservations are planned for late 2026 and an official launch in 2027.
