Holey Moley - $100,000 just for the Care-O-Bot arm.

Stanford says they aren't very safe either.


The DLR-LWR III arm [14], Schunk Lightweight Arm
[15], and Robonaut [16] all use motors directly mounted
to each joint, with harmonic drive gearheads to provide
fast motion with zero backlash. These arms have somewhat
higher payloads than the other arms discussed in this section,
ranging from 3-14 kg. They are not designed for human
safety, having relatively large flying masses (close to 14
kg for the DLR-LWR), although demonstrations with the
DLR-LWR III have been performed that incorporate a distal
force/torque sensor that uses the arm’s high bandwidth to
quickly stop when collisions are detected.

Of the robotic arms discussed previously, those that are
commercially available are all relatively expensive, with enduser
purchase prices well above $100,000 USD.
