Shenzhen Dobot Corp Ltd (Dobot) is a provider of collaborative robots and the creator of desktop-grade robotic arms. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in Shenzhen, China.
History
[edit]Dobot company was founded in June 2015. In October 2015 of that year, the company launched a Kickstarter campaign for a desktop robotic arm called Dobot. The campaign was successful, raising over $600,000 more than the initial goal of $36,000.[2][3] The success of the Kickstarter campaign led to an additional $3 million of third-round funding for the startup in April 2016, making it one of the most valuable robotics startups in China.[4]
By March 2017, the company had expanded to have 96 employees.[3] That year, a calligraphy performance by the Dobot Magician was featured in the CCTV New Year's Gala broadcast, drawing further publicity.[5][6]
On 23 December 2024, Dobot held its initial public offering (IPO) becoming a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The offering raised HK$681 million. [7]

Dobot Scara M1, which also premiered in 2016, features two toolheads, with the options of a gripper hand, a suction cup, a 3D printer, a 4th axis attachment, or a laser engraver. The M1 can be programmed by a manual learning mode or through coding and is intended primarily for industrial use by small businesses.[9][3][10]
In 2016, Dobot released the Dobot Magician, which allows precision writing and laser engraving.[3][11]
