Dobot Robotics
Dobot, Shenzhen Yuejiang Technology, is China's leading cobot exporter with more than 100,000 collaborative robots deployed across over 80 countries and a Hong Kong stock exchange listing, maker of the CR and CRA cobot series, M1 SCARA and desktop arms, the X-Trainer teleoperation platform, and the Atom humanoid family, 28 to 41 degree of freedom embodied AI machines with ±0.05 millimetre precision, energy saving straight knee walking and the ROM-1 robot operator model.
Dobot
Most humanoid ventures must build a company around a robot; Dobot simply added a robot to a company. When the Shenzhen firm, formally Shenzhen Yuejiang Technology, unveiled its first humanoid, it did so from a position almost no rival in the category holds: more than 100,000 collaborative robots already deployed across over 80 countries, the rank of China's number one cobot exporter, Fortune 500 manufacturers and academic institutions on its client list, subsidiaries spanning the United States, Germany, Japan and Thailand, and a Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing, completed in December 2024 with roughly $87.6 million raised, that made it the cobot industry's public benchmark. Founded in 2015 and built on self developed core technology in integrated drive and control, motion performance, interaction and safety, Dobot brings to embodied AI the thing startups cannot buy: an installed base, a distribution machine and a decade of factories that already trust it.
The humanoid programme wears that heritage plainly. The Atom, introduced in 2025, walks with straight knees, cutting energy consumption by 42 per cent against conventional bent knee gaits, manipulates at ±0.05 millimetre precision worthy of the company's arms, carries 7.7 times industry standard computing, and adapts to unstructured environments through Dobot's ROM-1 robot operator model, with more than a hundred demonstrated tasks from meal preparation to delicate component handling. By 2026 it had grown into a full size embodied AI family, the data collection focused Atom D and the 41 degree of freedom Atom Max among them, beside the X-Trainer dual arm teleoperation platform feeding the whole ecosystem's training data, and the cobot core kept advancing in parallel, from the harsh environment CRA-IP68 series to a next generation cobot given its global debut at Automate 2026.

Background
A decade of arms first
Dobot's route to humanoids ran through every scale of arm: crowdfunded desktop robots that made it a household name in maker and education circles, the M1 SCARA for light industry, the MG400 class desktop cobots for agile industrial tasks, and the CR and CRA collaborative series automating metalworking, electronics, semiconductor wafer handling and automotive stamping, welding, painting, assembly and inspection lines. That progression built the technologies a humanoid actually reuses, drive and control integration, force sensitive safety, precise motion at production tolerances, and the commercial infrastructure, channels, support, certification experience, that turns a launch into availability.
The listed platform
The December 2024 Hong Kong listing marks the strategic difference: Dobot enters the embodied AI race as a public company with audited scale rather than a venture with a demo, its Automate 2026 portfolio, humanoids, quadruped showcases at the German Robotics Conference in Cologne, next generation cobots, presented as one embodied intelligence line advancing together, industrial credibility funding humanoid ambition.
The Dobot Range
The Atom Humanoid Family
The Atom opened the family in 2025 as a compact embodiment of Dobot's arm craft: 28 degrees of freedom manipulating at ±0.05 millimetres, straight knee walking that trims energy use by 42 per cent whilst crossing difficult terrain, 7.7 times industry standard computing, and the ROM-1 robot operator model adapting autonomously to unstructured spaces, proven across more than a hundred tasks. The 2026 full size generation extends it into specialisations: the Atom D, tuned for large scale data collection with dual 7 degree of freedom arms, a 2 degree of freedom head, customisable end effectors from grippers to dexterous hands with wrist cameras, an Intel RealSense D455 depth camera ranging to 6 metres and a 60 frame per second Full HD binocular system engineered to minimise VR and MR motion sickness for teleoperators; and the Atom Max, the 41 degree of freedom flagship with 6 degree of freedom dexterous hands and the same vision stack, whose optional Embodied AI Set adds high precision URDF models, an open source training framework and multi modal data tools for research and industrial development.
The Cobot Core
The collaborative range remains the volume engine: CR and CRA series arms across payload classes for industrial automation, the CRA-IP68 editions sealed for high dust and humid environments, the M1 SCARA and desktop cobots for light industry and agile bench tasks, and the education heritage arms that seeded a generation of robotics classrooms, all carrying the integrated drive control, safety and usability engineering that built the export crown, with the next generation cobot debuted at Automate 2026 raising speed, payload and stability again.
X-Trainer and the Data Layer
The X-Trainer dual arm teleoperation platform is the family's teacher: human operators demonstrate manipulation through it, producing the AI training data that feeds the Atom line's models, Dobot's own answer to embodied AI's data hunger, integrated with the Atom D's collection role into a coherent demonstration to deployment pipeline.

Which buyers does Dobot suit?
Dobot sells across the automation spectrum it grew through. Manufacturers take the cobot core for production tasks across industrial and factory robotics, with the Atom family entering where mobility and human form add value. Embodied AI programmes take the Atom Max and Embodied AI Set as a research platform and the Atom D with X-Trainer as a data production line across research robotics. Education institutions take the range's teaching lineage from desktop arms to humanoids across educational robotics, integrators take the robot arms catalogue's proven components, and buyers weighing humanoid vendors take the consideration Dobot alone offers at this scale, a supplier whose support network predates its humanoid by a decade, with mission software from the robot software catalogue completing deployments.
Technology
Straight knees as engineering statement
The Atom's gait is its signature: walking with straightened knees in the human manner rather than the crouch most bipeds hold, cutting energy consumption by 42 per cent and extending working duty, whilst preserving terrain capability, efficiency engineering from a company whose industrial customers audit operating costs, not highlight reels.
Arm maker's precision, humanoid's reach
±0.05 millimetre manipulation precision on a walking platform is the cobot inheritance made mobile: the drive and control integration refined across a hundred thousand deployed arms, delivering placement tolerances that let the Atom family credibly address electronics class work rather than only carrying and greeting.
ROM-1 and the compute margin
The Atom's autonomy stack pairs 7.7 times industry standard computing with ROM-1, Dobot's robot operator model, perception, decision and control adapting to unstructured environments onboard, the headroom that keeps models local, latency low and capability growing by update across the family.
Vision built for teleoperators too
The full size generation's sensing serves both autonomy and its human teachers: RealSense D455 depth to 6 metres for spatial understanding, and a 60 frame per second Full HD binocular system tuned to minimise VR and MR motion sickness, because in Dobot's pipeline the teleoperator's comfort is data quality, demonstrations flowing through X-Trainer and the Atom D into the training loop.
