Updated: 2 days ago
The Automata Eva is a 6-axis desktop robot arm with a maximum payload of 1.25 kg, a reach of 600 mm and ±0.5 mm repeatability, listed from USD 6,600. This review covers its full specifications, design, programming options, applications and price, so you can decide whether it fits your automation project.
Quick Verdict
The Eva is a lightweight six-axis desktop robot arm with a 1.25 kg payload and 600 mm reach. Its controller is built into the arm and base, so the 9.5 kg unit needs only a 24 V supply and a 160 x 160 mm mounting area. Programming is done through a browser-based interface or a REST API over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Repeatability is ±0.5 mm. It is listed from USD 6,600. The Eva is no longer part of the current Automata product range.
