What Dobot does

Dobot (Shenzhen Dobot Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shenzhen-headquartered collaborative robotics manufacturer founded in 2015. The company designs and sells industrial collaborative robots across multiple payload classes — CR 30H (30 kg, 300°/s joints), CRA Series (3-20 kg, seven models), CRS Series, Nova Series (ultra-compact), MG400 (desktop four-axis), and M1 Pro (SCARA) — alongside the DOBOT ATOM full-size humanoid robot (28 degrees of freedom, ±0.05 mm precision), the X-Trainer dual-arm teleoperation platform for AI data collection, and educational lines (Magician series, DobotLab). Proprietary AI sits at the core: the DobotWAM Embodied Large Model (LIBERO benchmark performance, 3D spatial understanding) and the ROM-1 autonomous adaptation model power both cobot intelligence and humanoid behavior.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware unit sales to industrial manufacturers (automotive, semiconductor, consumer electronics, healthcare, metal processing, food and beverage) — Dobot serves 80 Fortune Global 500 companies, ranked #1 globally in cobot sales in 2025, and has shipped 100,000+ units across 100+ countries with cumulative losses of ~280M yuan over 2023-2025 against revenue growth from 287M to 493M yuan. Distribution blends direct enterprise sales with 350+ channel partners and the Dobot+ Ecosystem; consumer expansion runs through the INFFNI sub-brand (Rover X1 at $1,030). Strategic verticals include Robotaxi fleet automation with CaoCao (Geely) and electric-mobility co-development with LUYUAN. The company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2024 (hkg:2432) and is pursuing an 'H back to A' Shenzhen GEM listing to raise 1.2 billion yuan.
