At volume (e.g. an order of 1000 exactly same robots) you can get a 2m industrial arm with 200kg of payload, 2m/s speed and 2m/s2 accel for around 10k€. It's close to the material cost, that's why robotics companies venture off into new field such as collaborative robots, medical robots etc. where margins are still higher.
