Please visit to find a selection of 20 videos featuring our top-selling RA, YA, and HOP series of robots and pickers, as well as high-speed and side-entry models. We are sure seeing Yushin robots in action in the field and at various tradeshows will be an informative resource for our customers or anybody curious about robotics. Please tune into the Yushin Channel today!

Yushin America is pleased to announce the opening of the Spanish version of our website. We hope that the translation will be a helpful reference for our Spanish-speaking clients and associates throughout the Americas.
