## Common questions

### What is SARA?

SARA (Safe Autonomous Robotic Assistant) is a DLR lightweight robot forming the central component of a reconfigurable workstation. It can be quickly adapted to new products and individual orders. SARA is programmed through natural interaction with humans and language models. Demonstrated in grinding applications and bearing ring measurement at automatica 2025.

### How much does SARA cost?

SARA's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for SARA from DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.

### Is SARA actually deployed in the real world?

SARA is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.

### Who makes SARA?

SARA is made by DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, based in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.

### Can you buy SARA?

SARA is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.

### What are alternatives to SARA?

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to SARA include 10Beauty Manicure System, CleanSpark Bitcoin Mining Fleet, Blueye X3 Ultra, PillPick.

### How does SARA compare to 10Beauty Manicure System?

SARA and 10Beauty Manicure System (10Beauty · 6 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. SARA has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

### Is SARA a top other?

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, SARA ranks in roughly the top 76% of other models tracked by the registry.

### What is SARA's maturity stage?

SARA is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.

### Where is SARA deployed?

No verified deployments of SARA are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
