Robots

Humanoids

Name: Humanoids
Brand: DOBOT

For universities, research groups and demonstration.

Research platforms are bought for the opposite reason to factory robots. A factory wants a machine that never changes. A lab wants one that can be taken apart, instrumented, and pointed at a question nobody has answered yet.

Cobot teaching labs, PLC training cells and research platforms. The robots students learn on are the ones factories run.

Teaching lab
Research platform

A white humanoid robot torso with two articulated arms mounted on a wheeled frame in a laboratory, a square rig of motion-capture cameras overhead, two wall monitors showing plotted sensor traces and a tray of everyday objects on the bench in front of it

What you get

Built for research.

Dexterous hands for material handling.
Assembly research and AI training data.
Straight-knee walking and whole-body control.

Research platforms

Built for the lab.

That makes open access matter more than polish. The platforms we supply expose their control stack rather than hiding it, so a student can read what the robot is actually doing and a researcher can replace the part they disagree with.

Bimanual data-collection cells, humanoids, walking robots and skin-sensing cobots for shared lab space. Open Python API, ROS, SDK onboarding and data pipelines.

Data collection

Rigs that make recordings.

Bimanual rigs exist to make data. For a manipulation lab, a cell built to capture demonstrations cleanly is worth more than a faster arm, because the recordings outlive the hardware that made them.

Teaching cells

Kit that survives a cohort.

Teaching labs have a different problem: the kit has to survive a cohort. Training stations and desktop cobots take that punishment and still run the same software as the industrial arms down the road, which is the whole point of learning on them.

Six-axis cobots and training stations, desktop industrial cobots, education packages and a universal training platform with Siemens PLC. Pick and place, vision, grippers, assembly lines.

In published research

The labs got there first.

405 universities and institutes worldwide run DOBOT robots in published research, from Imperial College London to KAUST. The full list is available on request.

Institution marks identify published research and teaching use of DOBOT robots. They do not imply endorsement of Zeta42 or DOBOT.
