Atom Max

The DOBOT Atom Max, developed by Shenzhen Yuejiang Technology Co., Ltd. (Dobot Robotics), represents a pinnacle in full-size humanoid robotics, boasting 41 degrees of freedom (29 in the base body plus 12 in dexterous hands) for unparalleled dexterity and mobility. Standing at approximately 165 cm tall and weighing 58 kg, it is engineered for advanced research, industrial applications, embodied AI training, and teleoperation. Its architecture integrates three core systems: the Neuro-Driven Dexterity System (NDS), Anthropomorphic Walking System (AWS), and Robot Operator Model-1 (ROM-1). NDS employs a Transformer-based neural architecture with binocular RGB vision, servo-level vibration suppression, and 200 Hz high-frequency control, enabling sub-millimeter precision (±0.05 mm repeatability) in manipulation tasks like tool usage, assembly, and delicate handling. AWS leverages imitation and reinforcement learning to mimic human biomechanics, achieving straight-knee walking at up to 1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h max), reducing energy consumption by 42% compared to bent-knee methods, and ensuring stability across uneven terrains and narrow spaces. ROM-1, a 100 million parameter model running at 24 Hz end-to-end, combines base and industry-specific models for autonomous task decomposition in unstructured environments, supporting cross-scenario adaptability from automotive assembly to service tasks like beverage preparation and pharmacy operations. Computing is powered by an edge AI module delivering 1500 TOPS, featuring an Intel i9 (24 cores, 32 threads) paired with a 16 GB 256-bit GDDR6 graphics card (41.15 TFLOPS FP32). Sensors include Intel RealSense D455 RGB-D cameras (head, wrists x2, waist x2), Robosense Airy 3D LiDAR (head), Full HD binocular cameras for MR teleoperation, 360° microphone array (50 m² pickup), and stereo 5W neodymium speakers. Teleoperation supports VR/MR with markerless tracking and dual full-body/segmented modes, achieving <200 ms latency. Battery is a quick-swap 15 Ah pack offering ~2-3 hours runtime, with 1-hour recharge. Real-world deployments highlight its prowess: in July 2025, an Atom remotely cooked a steak from 1,800 km away via VR, demonstrating precise finger-level control for oil pouring, flipping, and salting. By mid-2025, Dobot announced mass production at ~$27k entry-level (though premium Max variants quoted $68k-$79k), targeting research labs, education, and light industry. Multi-robot collaboration via advanced edge computing enables synchronized production line tasks. Materials feature lightweight aluminum and composites with internal cabling for unrestricted motion. As of late 2025, Atom Max excels in teleoperation demos, AI data collection, and prototypes for human-robot coexistence, positioning Dobot as a leader in cost-effective, high-DOF humanoids.
