Dobot M1
DOBOTThe Dobot M1 is a SCARA-based light-industrial robotic arm manufactured by Yuejiang Technology Co., Ltd (Dobot), featuring a 400 mm working radius, 1.5 kg payload, and ±0.02 mm repeatability. It was successfully Kickstarter-funded (raising ~$615,000 against a $36,000 goal) and is positioned as an affordable, mid-range professional arm supporting interchangeable toolheads for 3D printing, laser engraving, soldering, and pick-and-place tasks. The arm executes programmed tasks autonomously once set up, with no human performing the task itself during operation. Several extracted facts in the dataset are clearly misattributed to the Dobot M1 (e.g., litter-box complaints, lawn-mower feedback, and Dobot's larger CRA/CR cobot series), and those are treated as irrelevant noise rather than M1-specific evidence.

Evidence-graded claims from the DOBOT deep report
DOBOT ATOM full-size industrial humanoid robot has entered third-batch mass production and delivery.
Gasgoo/Autonews [14], an independent automotive industry news outlet, reported that DOBOT commenced mass production and delivery of the third batch of ATOM humanoid robots; the scale of deployment and real-world performance remain unverified.
from DOBOT deep report →The DOBOT CR5 cobot delivers ±0.02 mm repeatability at a 5 kg payload and 900 mm reach, priced at $22,980.
RobotLAB's commerce listing [5], a third-party reseller, independently publishes the detailed spec table and explicit purchase price for the CR5, though real-world repeatability under production conditions has not been independently tested.

DOBOT cobots' touchscreen/Blockly programming interface lowers the barrier for novice users but creates friction and limitations for experienced industrial programmers requiring third-party firmware integration.
Community sources (Reddit/PLC forums) [19] discuss this usability tradeoff for cobots generally, but the dossier explicitly notes these reports are not DOBOT-specific, limiting direct applicability.
from DOBOT deep report →DOBOT completed Siemens SRCI integration for its cobot line, enabling native interoperability with Siemens industrial automation ecosystems.
The Siemens SRCI integration is confirmed only by DOBOT's own official announcement [12]; no independent Siemens statement, customer deployment report, or third-party validation of the integration's real-world functionality appears in the dossier.

DOBOT ATOM humanoid robot achieves autonomous task decomposition and decision-making in unstructured environments (automotive assembly, beverage preparation, pharmacy) via the ROM-1 model (100M parameters, 24 Hz end-to-end control).
All ROM-1 autonomy claims originate exclusively from DOBOT's official product page [2]; no independent test, customer report, or third-party review in the dossier verifies real-world autonomous performance, and community sources warn that unstructured-environment autonomy routinely falls short of vendor claims [17].
