Trossen Robotics is one of the few manipulator makers that publishes a checkout price for everything it sells. That makes it useful to buyers well beyond its own catalog — but only if you read the current store rather than the numbers that have been copied around the web for two years.
We pulled the full Trossen storefront on 3 August 2026 (2,794 product records, USD confirmed at the cart) and cross-checked it against the company's own marketing site and a European distributor the same day.
The line you can actually buy today
The current generation is branded Trossen AI — the company's own banner reads "ALOHA IS NOW TROSSEN AI." These are the in-stock, add-to-cart prices:
| Product | Configuration | Price (USD) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| WidowX AI | Base | **$2,995.00** | In stock (19 units) |
| WidowX AI | Leader | $3,135.00 | In stock |
| WidowX AI | Follower | $3,445.00 | In stock |
| Solo AI | Base | **$7,995.00** (was $8,495) | In stock |
| Solo AI | With high-performance laptop | $12,145.00 | In stock |
| Stationary AI | Base model | $15,995.00 | Not in stock |
| Mobile AI | No laptop | $22,995.00 | Not in stock |
| TOTL Workstation | RTX 5090 / Core Ultra 9 | $10,995.95 | In stock |
| Dual TRumi Kit | No cameras | $854.96 (was $949.95) | In stock |
| Dual TRumi Kit | With cameras | $1,976.39 (was $2,195.99) | In stock |
The WidowX AI arm is the building block for all of it. Trossen's own product page lists 1.5 kg payload, 700 mm reach, 1,400 mm span, 6 DOF, 1 mm repeatability and 6 kg mass. The three variants are the same arm with different end effectors: Base gets a silicone precision gripper, Leader an ambidextrous hand grip with sliding-rail pinchers, Follower the Base gripper plus an Intel RealSense D405 depth camera and arm mount.
That last one is worth doing the arithmetic on. Follower minus Base is $450. The same RealSense D405 kit sold separately on the same store is $874.92 (a bare IT-D405 is $647.28). If your build needs the camera, buying it inside the arm SKU is the cheaper path by a wide margin.
One banner applies to everything: "All products are built on a per order basis and are not pre-assembled and ready to ship at this time." Treat every price here as a build-to-order price, not a shelf price.
The numbers still circulating are legacy prices
Search for Trossen pricing and you will be handed figures like *ViperX-300 S2 $4,800* and *WidowX-250 $3,100*. Those are not the current line.
The ViperX 300 S is still in the store at $6,742.95, and its own product description reads, in full: "ViperX 300 S Robot Arm 6DOF VIPERX 300 S — LEGACY ARM (LARGE BASE)." It is out of stock. The same is true of the original ALOHA kits: ALOHA Mobile $36,999.95, ALOHA Stationary–Laptop $32,999.95, ViperX ALOHA Follower Arms $7,149.95, WidowX ALOHA Leader Arms $4,949.95 — all listed, all unavailable, all superseded.
Of 2,794 product records in the store, only 591 have any variant in stock. A scraper that does not check availability will happily quote you a robot Trossen stopped selling.
Two price lists from the same company
The marketing site and the store do not agree, and the gap is not small.
trossenrobotics.com/ai runs a "Super Summer Sale" banner (ends 12 August) with five price cards: $2,995, $7,995, $15,995, $22,995 and $854.96. The first two and the last match the store exactly. The middle two — Stationary AI and Mobile AI, the two bimanual platforms — have no in-stock store SKU at all, and the other Stationary AI configurations that are listed run $24,490.95 to $27,495.95.
The TOTL Workstation is the clearest split. The marketing page prices it at $8,495.95 ($8,995.95 less "$500 bundle savings"). The store sells it at $10,995.95 — 29.4% higher — while the $8,995.95 figure survives only as an out-of-stock "TOTL Workstation (Standalone)" listing.
That feeds through to the bundles, which are inconsistent in both directions:
- Solo AI & TOTL Workstation Bundle | SAVE $500 is live at $19,881.90. Solo AI Base ($7,995) plus the store's TOTL ($10,995.95) is $18,990.95 — the "save $500" bundle costs $890.95 more than buying the two separately. Against the marketing page's implied bundle ($7,995 + $8,495.95 = $16,490.95, a price that exists in the store as an out-of-stock SKU), it is $3,390.95 higher.
- WidowX AI & TOTL Workstation Bundle | SAVE $500 goes the other way: $13,041.90 / $13,181.90 / $13,491.90 for Base / Leader / Follower, each exactly $949.05 below the separate total — nearly double the advertised saving.
One more detail worth knowing before you read a strikethrough as a price history: the marketing page's "was $4,545.95" on WidowX AI matches, to the cent, an archived store SKU called WidowX AI (Arm Only) — a different product, not a former price of the $2,995 kit.
What it costs in Europe
Génération Robots (Mérignac, France) lists the same four platforms. Converting at the ECB reference rate of 1 EUR = 1.1485 USD and stripping the 20% French VAT:
| Platform | Trossen US store | Génération Robots (ex-VAT) | ≈ USD | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WidowX AI | $2,995 | €4,900.00 | $5,627.65 | **+87.9%** |
| Solo AI | $7,995 | from €13,000.00 | $14,930.50 | +86.8% |
| Stationary AI | $15,995 | from €25,000.00 | $28,712.50 | +79.5% |
| Mobile AI | $22,995 | from €38,500.00 | $44,217.25 | +92.3% |
Tax is already out of these figures and one exchange rate is applied throughout, so neither explains the gap. We take that comparison apart across several brands in our US-versus-Europe pricing study.
How to budget one
A single-arm data-collection setup is $2,995 for the arm and $7,995 for the Solo AI kit that surrounds it. Add compute and you are at $12,145 with the laptop or $18,990.95 with the desktop workstation bought separately. Two-arm work starts at the $15,995 Stationary AI figure the company advertises — but confirm availability and configuration in writing, because that number currently has no buyable SKU behind it.
