Brushed motors wear out relatively rapidly. Yet, the industrial robot must be designed for lifetime use. Therefore, AC brushless or DC brushless motors seem like the better design choice.
The major difference between AC brushless and DC brushless motors is that the former has a sinusoidal back emf and the latter has a rectangular/trapezoidal back emf.

Motors

Brushed motors wear out relatively rapidly. Yet, the industrial robot must be designed for lifetime use. Therefore, AC brushless or DC brushless motors seem like the better design choice.

The major difference between AC brushless and DC brushless motors is that the former has a sinusoidal back emf and the latter has a rectangular/trapezoidal back emf.
