Cobot specialist Dobot enters the humanoid race with Atom, a full-size robot with straight-knee walking, 28 upper-body degrees of freedom and a claimed precision of ±0.05 mm.

### Background On March 17, 2025, Shenzhen Dobot, known for its collaborative robot arms (cobots), unveiled Atom, its first humanoid. Dobot describes it as a "universal" full-size embodied-AI humanoid combining fine manipulation with "straight-knee" walking, closer to a human gait than the bent-knee walk of many bipeds. ### Specifications | Item | Announced value | |---|---| | Degrees of freedom | 28 in the upper body, for manipulation | | Precision | ±0.05 mm | | Energy | 42% lower consumption thanks to straight-knee walking | | Compute | 7.7 times the industry standard, according to Dobot | | AI | ROM-1 (Robot Operator Model 1), to adapt to unstructured environments | Height, weight and price do not appear in the sources consulted. Dobot's videos show the robot in kitchens and homes, with no official target market. ### Why it matters Dobot claims more than 72,000 robots deployed in over 80 countries and develops drives, motion control and safety in-house. The arrival of an established manufacturer, rather than a startup, shows that humanoids are becoming a natural extension of cobotics. ### Key takeaways Atom is one of the first humanoids from a listed cobot maker; Dobot joined the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2024. Precision and compute figures are values claimed by the company.
