THE PHASE VIEW
Capability starts with the configuration
A lower entry price does not settle the development decision. The differences in joints and access can determine whether the robot suits an experiment at all.
PHASE’s assessment is based on public documentation. Treat advertised functions as claims to verify on the supplied configuration, with your task, environment and supervision requirements.
PHASE interpretation of public information. We have not tested this machine.

BUYING IN AUSTRALIA
Scope the purchase.
Not just the hardware.
Ask for an itemised Australian delivered quotation, written support terms, repair arrangements and battery transport conditions. PHASE does not verify a supplier’s authorisation merely by linking a manufacturer page.
Australian supply, supplier status and local support have not been independently verified. No verified Australian delivered price is published here.
Questions before you commit
- Identify the exact AIR, R1 or EDU configuration in writing.
- Check developer access instead of assuming every edition exposes the same controls.
- Include batteries, spare joints and training in the total project budget.
