1. "越疆港股IPO征途中遇劲敌：节卡机器人挑战声震耳欲聋" [Dobot Faces Strong Competitors on the Path to Hong Kong Stock IPO: Jaka Robotics' Challenge is Deafening]. 21st Century Business Herald (in Chinese). 2024-07-09. Archived from the original on 2025-02-16. Retrieved 2025-02-16.
  The article notes: "不仅是节卡和越疆，据记者了解，多家头部协作机器人厂商均有不同程度的亏损，其背后折射的是协作机器人当下的困境，产品同质化明显。... 2021年至2023年，越疆六轴协作机器人的平均售价分别为6.59万元/台、6.14万元/台、5.66万元/台，售价连年下滑。... 时至今日，协作机器人价格战余波未了。港股IPO，对于越疆而言，无疑是一场关乎命运的决战。成功，意味着公司将能够借助资本市场的力量，进一步加码研发，扩大生产规模，从而有可能重新实现对节卡的超越。失败，则可能意味着在“协作机器人三杰”中掉队，甚至面临被其他竞争对手赶超的风险。"
  From Google Translate: "Not only Jieka and Yuejiang, according to the reporter's understanding, many leading collaborative robot manufacturers have suffered losses to varying degrees, which reflects the current predicament of collaborative robots and the obvious homogeneity of products. ... From 2021 to 2023, the average selling price of Yuejiang's six-axis collaborative robots was 65,900 yuan/unit, 61,400 yuan/unit, and 56,600 yuan/unit, respectively, and the price has been declining year by year. ... To this day, the aftermath of the collaborative robot price war is still unresolved. For Yuejiang, the Hong Kong stock IPO is undoubtedly a decisive battle of fate. Success means that the company will be able to use the power of the capital market to further increase research and development and expand production scale, so that it may be possible to surpass Jieka again. Failure may mean falling behind in the "three heroes of collaborative robots" and even facing the risk of being overtaken by other competitors."

  The article notes: "短短8年时间，越疆机器人全球累计销量已超过68000台，多年稳居中国工业机器人品牌出口量第一名。当大家对机械臂的普遍观感是既“笨重”又“危险”时，越疆便专注人工智能、驱控一体、智能感知等核心技术的自主研发，开始尝试开发轻量化、安全的与人协同工作的机器人。如今，越疆已实现控制系统、驱动器、伺服电机等关键技术的自研与应用，国产化率超90%以上。"
  From Google Translate: "In just 8 years, Yuejiang Robot has sold more than 68,000 units worldwide, and has been ranked first in the export volume of Chinese industrial robots for many years. When everyone generally felt that robotic arms were both "bulky" and "dangerous", Yuejiang focused on the independent research and development of core technologies such as artificial intelligence, integrated drive and control, and intelligent perception, and began to try to develop lightweight and safe robots that work with people. Today, Yuejiang has achieved self-research and application of key technologies such as control systems, drives, and servo motors, with a localization rate of more than 90%."

  The article notes: "Dobot, which mainly makes four-axis, six-axis and compound cobots used in the education, light industry, retail, healthcare and chemical sectors, is the second-largest cobot firm in the world with a market share of 13%, and the largest in China, according to a report by market research firm China Insights Consultancy. The company, based in Nanshan District, has held eight funding rounds since it was founded in 2015, and boasts well-known venture capitalists, including Shenzhen Capital Group, Green Pine Capital Partners, Qianhai Fund of Funds and CICC Capital, among its investors. Before it went public, founder Liu Peichao was the biggest shareholder with 26.6% equity. However, Dobot has been losing money in recent years and the firm may be unable to turn a profit in the short run, due to the high expenditure on research and development as well as business expansion, it said in the IPO prospectus."

  The article notes: "Founded in 2015, Dobot specializes in collaborative robots, or "cobots," that work alongside humans in settings such as factory floors. The company offers 27 cobot models for use in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, research settings and others, according to its prospectus. Dobot describes itself as one of the top cobot players globally and No. 1 among Chinese cobot companies, with global market share of 13% as measured by shipment volume in 2023, citing an industry report it commissioned."

  The abstract notes: "Based on the software development platform of Dobot Studio, the robot arm is automatically controlled for object handling. The control method between software and hardware of the robot arm is mainly analyzed. The practice proves that the robot arm control system has high efficiency, accuracy and adaptive stability."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Dobot Robotics' to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Comment: Dobot Robotics was created on 3 February 2025, while Dobot was created on 14 April 2018. These are duplicate articles about the same company. I recommend merging them. Iuliusnanus (talk · contribs), as the creator of Dobot Robotics, would you help merge the material to Dobot? Thank you. Cunard (talk) 02:33, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
