The Dobot ATOM Max is Dobot’s current top-of-the-line humanoid robot, combining high-precision mechanics with state-of-the-art AI and comprehensive 3D sensing. With 41 degrees of freedom, dexterous 6-DOF hands and a height of around 1,65 m, this humanoid robot operates at eye level with human colleagues and is an ideal platform for embodied AI, robotics research and forward-looking industrial automation.
Dobot ATOM Max technical highlights
The Dobot ATOM Max is equipped for demanding research and AI projects. This humanoid robot has 29 degrees of freedom in the body, two degrees of freedom in the head, seven degrees of freedom per arm and two 6-DOF hands—for a total of 41 DoF.
This high degree of mobility is complemented by arm repeatability of ±0,05 mm, making it significantly more precise than many conventional industrial robots in the same segment. The arms have a maximum end speed of 1,5 m/s, and the robot can walk at speeds of up to 1,5 m/s, enabling dynamic movements, bipedal walking and fast grasping.
At its core is a powerful edge computing platform: an Intel-i5 base module, a 1500-TOPS AI computing module, an Intel-i9 processor with 24 cores and a GPU with 16 GB GDDR6 provide ample computing power for complex AI models, image processing and simulation.
This platform runs Dobot’s Robot Operator Model-1 (ROM-1), which enables precise motion planning and AI-driven adaptation in unstructured environments. The architecture is complemented by VR/MR teleoperation, an embodied AI toolkit, URDF models and comprehensive SDK support.
360° sensing and safety for human-robot collaboration
One distinctive feature of the Dobot ATOM Max is its dense array of sensors around the head, arms and torso. The robot has a Full-HD binocular camera, an additional RGB-D camera in the head, two RGB-D cameras each at the waist and wrists, and a 3D-LiDAR at head height.
This provides a complete picture of the surroundings, suitable for visual servoing strategies, collision avoidance, people detection and quality inspections.
Applications: From smart factories to service and logistics
The Dobot ATOM Max bridges the gap between humanoid automation and real-world production and service processes. In smart factory environments, for example, this humanoid robot can operate machinery, handle varying product variants, sort containers or perform visual end-of-line inspections. Its human-like kinematics let it handle ergonomic tasks involving doors, switches, drawers or custom fixtures, without the need for complex specialized mechanics.
In logistics and intralogistics, the ATOM Max is well suited as an AI-powered assistant along conveyor lines, at picking stations or at order-picking workstations. Edge AI lets teams train strategies for grasp planning, packing and sequencing directly on the robot and later deploy them in scaled-up facilities. In service and showroom settings, this humanoid robot serves as a technical demonstrator, guide or brand ambassador, impressively showcasing the potential of humanoid industrial automation.
Dobot ATOM Max for research, universities and AI labs
Robotics and AI research facilities are a key application area for the Dobot ATOM Max. Its open toolchain, with an SDK, URDF models, an embodied AI toolkit and teleoperation kits, enables deep integration of this humanoid robot into existing research environments. Universities can develop their own algorithms for locomotion, grasp planning, HRI, reinforcement learning or multimodal perception and test them directly on the physical system.
Integration, services and complementary robotics solutions from Terra Robotics
To unlock the full potential of the Dobot ATOM Max, it needs to be carefully integrated into processes, IT infrastructure and safety systems. Terra Robotics handles planning, simulation, setup and commissioning—from the initial proof of concept through pilot cells to scalable automation. This includes selecting grippers and peripherals, connecting to MES/ERP systems, integrating with other robots (e.g. cobots, mobile robots and service robots), and training development, operations and maintenance teams.
