Why DOBOT
Safe without cages. Set up without code.
There are good arguments for several robot builders, and we will make them if you ask. Ours for DOBOT comes down to three: the safety case is straightforward, the software is the same across the whole range, and most of the key parts are made in-house rather than bought in.
DOBOT builds collaborative robots that anyone can run, from a 0.5 kg desktop arm to a 30 kg palletizer and a full-size humanoid. Zeta42 adds the local engineering, training and support.

Why DOBOT
Six reasons, not one.
Payback is the number that decides most projects. DOBOT publishes its own rather than a range invented for a brochure. Treat them as the starting point for your own arithmetic, not as a promise about your line. The figures below came off somebody else's floor.
Safe without cages
Skin sensing detects a person 5 to 15 cm before contact and stops in 0.1 seconds.
No code needed
Drag the arm to teach it. Welding or palletizing is set up in 30 minutes. A new task in five.
Precise and fast
Repeatability of plus or minus 0.02 mm and speeds up to 4 m/s.
One family, 0.5 to 30 kg
Desktop arms to heavy palletizers, plus SCARA, washdown, force-sensing and humanoid models. One software family, one Python API.
Plug and play
Certified grippers, cameras, force sensors and mobile bases connect out of the box.
Payback you can quote
DOBOT publishes 6 to 12 months for machine tending and 8 to 10 months for palletizing.

Certified and proven
The paperwork that matters.
Certification is not decoration on a factory floor. The marks below are what a safety officer asks for before an arm is allowed to work beside a person. They are also the reason a cobot can be installed without rebuilding the area around it.
- ISO 13849-1 PL d Cat 3
- ISO 10218-1
- ISO/TS 15066
- CE
- NRTL
- MTBF 30,000 h certified
- SGS-verified cybersecurity
- 90% of key parts made in-house

Questions
What buyers ask about the make.
Why DOBOT rather than another cobot maker?+
Three reasons: a safety case that is straightforward to make, one software family across the whole range so nothing is relearned at every step up, and key parts made in-house rather than bought in.
Where do these figures come from?+
DOBOT's published data, on dobot-robots.com, and every figure on this site links to the page it came from. Performance figures are laboratory results and can differ in use.
What does Zeta42 add?+
Local engineering, training and support. We assess the job, integrate the robot into your line, train the people who will run it, and service it from Abu Dhabi across the six GCC countries.
None of it matters without someone nearby. An arm that stops on a Thursday needs an engineer on Friday, not a shipping quote and a time difference. That is the part Zeta42 adds, and it is the reason to buy the robot here rather than import it.
