TAL launches first indigenous robot, Brabo at Rs 5-7 lakh

TAL Manufacturing Solutions, a fully-owned arm of Tata Motors, today launched the country’s first locally designed and manufactured industrial robot, the Brabo, which can increase productivity by up to 30 per cent. The robots have payloads of 2 kg and 10 kg, and are priced at Rs 5 lakh (for the 2-kg one) and Rs 7 lakh for the 10 kg one, TAL chairman RS Thakur told reporters at the



launch here.

Thakur said TAL has invested around Rs 10 crore over the past three years to develop the robots which can increase productivity by 15-30 per cent, with a payback period of 15-18 months.

When asked about the price competitiveness of his models Thakur said it is cheaper by 30-40 per cent, though there is no direct competition for Brabos.
