Owner reviews
A top-tier industrial robot we recommend without hesitation
In our independent assessment, the Yaskawa Motoman GP8 earns 84/100 — an excellent industrial robot.
Its strongest area is precision (100/100), followed by axes (84/100). In practice, very fast.
The main caveat is reach, where it scores 72/100. Specifically, requires safety cell.
At €30000, it sits below the typical price for the category — strong value. For most buyers in this category, it's one of the best choices you can make.

What’s a cobot vs an industrial robot?
Collaborative robots (cobots) are built to work safely alongside people without guarding; traditional industrial arms are faster but usually need a safety cage.
How precise is it?
See the repeatability spec (in mm). Lower is more precise — most cobots repeat to within ±0.05 mm, easily handling assembly and machine tending.
How hard is it to program?
Modern cobots use drag-to-teach or tablet programming — you guide the arm through positions by hand. Complex jobs may still need an integrator.
