It can carry up to 150 kg, which is enough, according to ASPINA, to move spare parts and finished products alike.

The manufacturer states a runtime of about 6 hours of continuous use, with about 1 hour of charging.

ASPINA says it first showed the robot at ROBOT TECHNOLOGY JAPAN 2026, in Aichi prefecture, in June 2026, and planned to open orders in August of the same year.
