About DOBOT
DOBOT (SHENZHEN DOBOT CORP LTD) is a manufacturer of collaborative robots and desktop robotic arms founded in Shenzhen in 2015. The portfolio includes the CR and CRA cobot series with payloads of 3 to 30 kg, the ultra-compact Nova series, the desktop cobots MG400 and Magician E6, the SCARA cobot M1 Pro, the humanoid robot platform ATOM, and the X-Trainer platform for AI data collection. Proprietary technologies such as Integrated Drive & Control and AI-supported safety systems are employed. The robots are used, among other things, for machine tending, welding, palletizing, screwdriving, injection molding support and laboratory automation. Over 100,000 robots sold in more than 100 countries serve industries from consumer electronics to metal processing to semiconductors and education. Manufacturing takes place at the Rizhao site; the European headquarters DOBOT Europe GmbH is located in Neu-Isenburg. Since December 2024, the company has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (2432.HK).
