V Fund participated in the new financing round for DOBOT of 320 million yuan, the world's leading intelligent robotic arm company. In addition to V Fund, this financing round was completed with many other well-known investors, including CCIG, CRRC, WENS Capital and CM Capital.
In the last month of 2020, DOBOT held a new collaborative robot launch event with the theme of "Potential can achieve everything", and launched the MG400, the first industrial-grade desktop collaborative robotic arm. The MG400, the first industrial-grade desktop collaborative robotic arm, is a new category of collaboration developed and launched by a domestic company in response to global market demand. With the CR3, CR10 and CR16 collaborative robotic arms, DOBOT has become the first company in the industry to have a full product matrix from 500g to 16kg. In the past five years, DOBOT has shipped more than 30,000 collaborative robots to more than 140 countries and regions around the world, and has ranked first among mainland Chinese brands in industrial robot exports for many years.
The exploration of desktop-level collaborative robots began at the founding of DOBOT, and this spirit of exploration and innovation is a constant driving force for development and a breakthrough point for Chinese robotics companies to stand on the world stage. Human-robot collaboration is the long-term state of "Machine replaces human", and the prerequisite for the mass application of collaborative robots is stability and safety. The “Dobot SafeSkin” is also an industry innovation for 2020. Previous post-crash sensing solutions on the market were passive responses and could not prevent injuries. The Dobot SafeSkin uses pre-crash & pre-sensing technology, which eliminates the need for advance warning of speed reduction. Wearable collision detection is flexible and covers more space, allowing intrusion at any angle to be sensed, maximising human safety as well as machine operational efficiency while ensuring efficient production.
At the beginning of 2020, DOBOT was also awarded 16 million yuan funding support from Guangdong Province's Key R&D Program. This project is led by DOBOT to implement key technology research and development for human-machine collaborative robots, including the development of self-learning human-machine collaborative robot systems and the construction of human-machine collaborative robot evaluation systems and standards, filling the gaps in the domestic industry. At present, the company has a total of 628 intellectual property rights and over 460 patents, including 196 invention patents, which is top1 in China and the world's leading patent number.
DOBOT is the world's leading provider of intelligent robotic arm solutions and the pioneer of desktop robotic arms, focusing on the development of fully sensory intelligent robotic arms that integrate perception and interaction. DOBOT has a complete industrial chain with independent core technology, key components, leading robot products and industry solutions for education, industry and commerce, meeting the automation needs of the new era of artificial intelligence talent training to fine production in 3C industry, clean production in food industry, medical, logistics and new retail. ROBOT provides professional and flexible robot solutions for users in different industries and new development momentum for China's manufacturing industry to improve quality and efficiency, as well as transformation and upgrading.
