Why Choose Dobot Arm?
Dobot Brings Industrial Precision and Power to Your Life
Dobot’s high precision is the highlight. We spent much of our energy to optimize its technology. With such a low cost, we have managed to maintain the industrial precision level. When performing repetitive actions, the error in precision is as small as 0.2mm, empowering you to do delicate work without losing the precision. See below for more detailed info on specs.
Dobot is super easy to control
Easy usability comes first during the design of Dobot. We have given a lot of thought on users without technical backgrounds, and how to help them better control robotic arms. In order to make as young as 5-years-old kids able to use Dobot in ease, we have done extensive research and designed 7 controlling methods, including PC, mobile APP, EEG, voice, vision, leap motion and gestures, whichever suits your purpose the best.
Stepper motor: Dobot works quietly
We have also considered on where the users will be using it, and tired our best to make the noise level as low as possible. By using customized stepper motor, we are able to minimize noise level, making Dobot much quieter than low-cost servo robotic arms and more household-friendly.Here’s a comparison video with servo based robotic arms.

Dobot is open source
Dobot will be open sourced after the Kickstarter campaign. As a group of devoted open source fans, we believe open source makes the world better by levering the power of collective minds. Yet to help you understand better of what we do, we are working around the clock on some of the code that need more notations and explanations. But we make our promise here that after the Kickstarter campaign, we will upload the code. Keep in touch, there are more surprises to come.
Dobot supports three OpenSource Firmware for special application and developer.
Even More Exciting For Makers!
Dobot supports three OpenSource Firmware for special applications and developers with different programming preferences.
1. Complete developed by Dobot team
Easy for developers familiar with Industrial robots.
2. Base on
(https://github.com/grbl/grbl)
Easy for developers familiar with open source CNC machine.
3. Base on
(https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin)
Easy for developers familiar with RepRap compatiable 3D printer.
Also we provide communication interface for
(http://opencv.org/) to add vision to Dobot.
Dobot is a maker team and we create what's best for makers. We use Arduino as the controller. Although when tackling some critical problems, we found this might not be the perfect solution, after continuous improvements, we believe this could equip superb functionality with Dobot.
Processing is the widely-applauded data visualization and programming platform for beginners. Simply drag and click, you can program Dobot at your will on its user-friendly interface.
Scratch is also a briiliant visual programming language that's more widely used by children, artists and makers. It helps them to control and program all types of electronic devices and interactive products. Dobot's control is based on the easy-for-understanding serial communication protocol whose working principles are all open-sourced. We will add more manpower in developing control extensions based on Scratch, and believe this will make operating Dobot applications easier for children, enabling them to bring their ideas to life.
Arduino Library
We have included diversified written motion functions for user to make their own Dobot code community. We’ve included forward and inverse solution, point to point, line, jump Path Planning, everything is open source, and you can make it better. These code examples have very similar principles to industrial robot developing and they are very useful for one who wants to understand how an industrial robot works.
In our code, we provide the limit and working range protection, various joint and coordinate commands, combine these functions and you are the magician.
Electronic Parts
Our initial thought was to design a shield for the Arduino (Mega2560) for connecting mega2560 and 3 stepper driver boards and also to contain a current amplifying module to drive the vacuum pump and the solenoid valve. Meanwhile, it can manage driving 2 servos with 3 steppers. Based on that, we modified the design to accommodate more users, thus another shield of Arduino was born to satisfy all of the above functions. This eliminates the constitute of stepper driver boards and reconsiders the measures for overcurrent protection and heat dissipation. Our core competency is to employ fewer wires with a better outlook ensured.
Tech. Spec.
The Quality Assurance
Mechanical Parts
How Dobot is made and how we made its incredible precision level possible.
The mechanical structure entirely employed CNC cutting technology. For key parts the machinery accuracy has reached 0.02mm. Joint connections adopted high accuracy axes coupled with chrome alloy interference lit, ensuring structural stability and accuracy. On the motor side, Dobot designed the high accuracy speed reducer motor, providing consistent motor power for the robot arm. On the material side, Dobot was made of high strength aluminium alloy and processed by anodic oxidation treatment,
to ensure the sleekness and strength of the surface.
Here's some details about the manufacturing, we chose the high performance CNC machine instead of laser cut to guarantee a 0.02mm precision, which provides the basis of our high quality.
For software, we have done a great deal of optimization. The software supports speed look-ahead small line blocks interpolation algorithm, able to fit any type of curve and ensure processing efficiency. Moreover, with the Three Axes Linkage Method fine interpolation, you can control the trajectory of the end effector of the Dobot accurately, empowering it with complex curvilinear motions.
Dobot is affordable!
We wanted to make sure Dobot is accessible to everyone. Through immense effort and countless negotiations with suppliers, we were able to get better deals without compromising the quality and reliability. That’s how we made the price so affordable so more users could use it. We are at our beginning stage and would like to invite you to help promote Dobot so more people passionate about making could know about us. We will offer discounts and refunds to show our appreciation for your support.
To do so, after you purchase Dobot, simply fill out the Dobot Promotion Code (which will be included in the package) and Paypal account information, and we will return 20~100 U.S. Dollars to your account. You can also choose gifts with equal value, and we will ship it to you along with the package.
How to get the Dobot promotion code?
If you repost or comment our post on Facebook Page/Group, we will randomly select the users to whom we will give the Dobot Promotion Code.
You can also get in touch with reviewers and community influencers, they will be distributing Dobot Promotion Codes to lucky fans and devoted users as well. Good luck!
Keep posted with the Update on the promotion information.
How things going?
Why Kickstarter
We have spent years developing our core technologies. We now need an active passionate community to provide us feedback. With your support we can hire additional help and scale our production capabilities. Thank you for taking the time to learn about our mission to enable seamless design and manufacturing.
Feel free to write to us what do you think about Dobot and what do you want us to add to make it better for you!
Who is Creating Dobot Arm?
Dobot is created by the Dobot team. We are committed to creating a desktop and family-mode industrial robot to control so that everyone can have a desktop assistant and family assistant, which is easy to assemble and control, empowered by high precision.
As a group of six industrial robot engineer, we love robot design and we are hoping to satisfy the needs of the people for the desktop manipulator with the lowest cost and simplest control method. We firmly believe that multiple cooperative robots or even a production assembly line will appear on your desktop in the future as we launch a series of new models.
Communication
If you still have other questions, you can post a comment or send an email to us:
or contact us via our , we will answer you as soon as possible.
Risks and challenges
We have spent over a year actively developing Dobot. We are manufacturing a majority of the parts in-house to limit quality control and fulfillment issues. The remaining parts are off-the-shelf components and do not require custom engineering for our application.
Precision robotic arms are difficult to manufacture and calibrate. We have spent months refining our design and automating processes to limit this difficulty.
We are finalizing the PCB layout for Dobot. Firmware for Dobot can be updated remotely. At the conclusion of this campaign we anticipate user feedback to develop a library of application specific interfaces for existing machine platforms.
Dobot is being actively developed, tested, and documented. We anticipate an extended beta testing process to fully test and release all software modules.

A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s first long-distance signing device(装置), the LongPen.After many tiring……from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them . She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Here’s how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens。Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement(地下室). At first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The investing finally completed, teat runs w ere made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here , Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.“It’s really fun”, said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing..The response to the invention has not been all favorable.
