Performance benchmark

Computed 0-10 capability scores appear only when the required source-backed inputs are verified.

Scoring methodology

Partial evidence confidence

Computed capability scores use a normalized 0-10 scale from official, verified catalog inputs. Missing required inputs are shown as Not enough verified data instead of a numeric score.

Inputs: speed, payload, degrees of freedom, autonomy/software evidence, and dexterity-related evidence.

Freshness: each numeric score requires a source URL and verified date from the catalog record.

Guardrail: Scores are comparison aids only and do not indicate deployment readiness, suitability, price certainty, or availability.

Not enough verified data to render a five-axis numeric benchmark for Sawyer.

SpeedNot comparable

Frequently asked questions about Sawyer

HumanoidHub only shows a public Sawyer price when it is verified from trusted source material. If no official price is shown, treat Sawyer as request-quote and do not assume a public price until source-backed evidence is available.

What is the Sawyer used for?

Rethink Robotics’ Sawyer is a stationary 7‑DOF collaborative robot arm introduced in 2015. It targets manufacturing tasks such as machine tending, assembly and inspection, using integrated sensing (including vision and force/torque sensing) and the Intera software environment. Rated payload is about 4 kg; the original platform is discontinued and found mainly on the secondary market.
