I would imagine they costs 10s of thousands of dollars or more. Fun Fact, back in the day my dad used to install Robots in factories. He lost his job due to NAFTA as they moved operations to Canada. But, from what he said, you can run these fuckers with little to no maintenance. Which is why they are taking over. 

 

My dad used to work for Flow. They are known for their water jet machines. I think the robots they installed were from a company called Motoman. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

They are millions a piece, or a more conservative is many 100's of thousands of dollars.

I didn't watch the video but if you're talking about a 5-axis robotic arm, I believe I've seen some used ones online for $25,000+ per unit. I'm not sure if there is an order minimum or where to find them now. This was years ago. Probably closer to $50,000 each now. All amounts are in USD.
