Dataset underlying the NXTGEN - Ready Made Meals project: Market overview of robot arms and end-effectors

As part of the NXTGEN Ready Made Meals project, an overview of robot arms and end-effectors currently available on the market was compiled, with the latest update for the end-effectors gathered in 2024 and for the robotic arm in 2025. The research involved an extensive web search to identify the systems on offer, and, in some cases, companies were contacted for further insights.
This overview can be continuously updated by others and serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and industry professionals looking for the right robot arm and end-effector to suit their specific needs.
The initial list of robot arms was published in February 2026 and consisted of 10 robot arms.The initial list of end-effectors was published in February 2026 and consisted of 20 end-effectors.
