Head to head
Doosan Robotics H2515 vs Yaskawa Motoman GP25
A specification duel across payload, reach, precision, and footprint, with a plain read on which arm suits which job.
Heavy payload cobot for palletizing and handling
Mid payload robot for handling and machine tending
Specification duel
Green marks the stronger figure. Unconfirmed specs are shown but not scored.
The verdict
The first question here is not specs but the cell: the Doosan Robotics H2515 is a collaborative arm designed for reduced-speed operation near people (fenceless only where an application risk assessment allows it), while the Yaskawa Motoman GP25 is a 6-axis industrial arm that runs behind a guard at full speed. They run different controllers, the Doosan Robotics H2515 on the CS-02 (DC Controller) and the Yaskawa Motoman GP25 on the YRC1000, so whichever platform your team already programs and stocks parts for is a real tiebreaker. Mounting options differ: the Doosan Robotics H2515 lists Floor, and the Yaskawa Motoman GP25 lists Floor, Wall, Tilt, and Ceiling. Both are aimed at palletizing and machine tending, with the Doosan Robotics H2515 stretching to collaborative assembly and the Yaskawa Motoman GP25 to packaging.
Choose this one when
Job fit first, then the controller and cell constraints that decide which arm you can actually install.
Choose the Doosan Robotics H2515 when
- High payload for a collaborative robot
- Full reach industrial style envelope
- Joint torque sensing throughout the arm
- Suited to palletizing light to medium cases
Watch for
- Larger arm mass than lighter Doosan cobots
- Collaborative speed limits still apply at this payload
Choose the Yaskawa Motoman GP25 when
- Strong speed to payload ratio
- Reliable in multi shift CNC tending
- Compact base footprint
- Washdown rated for light coolant exposure
Watch for
- Mid payload limits use with heavy fixtures
- Reach is moderate compared to dedicated palletizers
Controller ecosystem
Programming habits, spare parts, and pendant familiarity often decide the pick when payloads are close.
- Brand
- Doosan
- Controller
- CS-02 (DC Controller)
- Class
- collaborative
Service, spares, and pendant training for the Doosan Robotics H2515 run through Doosan's CS-02 (DC Controller) stack.
- Brand
- Yaskawa
- Controller
- YRC1000
- Class
- 6-axis industrial
Service, spares, and pendant training for the Yaskawa Motoman GP25 run through Yaskawa's YRC1000 stack.
These arms run different controllers (CS-02 (DC Controller) vs YRC1000). If your team already programs one of them, retraining programmers and stocking a second set of spares usually costs more than a small payload or reach advantage on paper.
Mounting, footprint, and mass
How the arm can be oriented in the cell, and how much mass you have to mount.
| Field | Doosan Robotics H2515 | Yaskawa Motoman GP25 |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting | Floor | Floor, Wall, Tilt, and Ceiling |
| Robot mass | 70 kg | 250 kg |
| Protection (IP) | IP54 | IP67 wrist / IP54 body (IP65 body XP option) |
Heavier arms want stiffer bases and more clearance around the swept volume, and they push freight and rigging costs up on the install. IP ratings only cover the section they name, so a wrist-only rating protects the wrist and nothing else; check the body rating separately before you commit the arm to a washdown or dusty cell.
Application fit

Speed and cycle-time planning
Speed is rarely a single datasheet number across brands. Use payload, reach, and class as the planning frame, then confirm cycle time in a path study.
The Doosan Robotics H2515 is a collaborative arm rated 25 kg at 1500 mm with ±0.1 mm repeatability. The Yaskawa Motoman GP25 is a 6-axis industrial arm rated 25 kg at 1730 mm with ±0.02 mm. Class changes how speed shows up in a cell: collaborative arms slow down near people and can speed up in a guarded mode, while industrial arms run at rated speed inside a fence or scanner field. Which arm cycles faster on your part depends on the path, the payload, and the safeguarding, so confirm the takt with a path study before you quote it.
Common questions
- Which has more payload, the Doosan Robotics H2515 or the Yaskawa Motoman GP25?
