DOBOT and RiACT Partner to Simplify Cobot Automation

DOBOT Robotics and RiACT have announced a strategic partnership aimed at making industrial automation more accessible through the combination of collaborative robot hardware and simplified robotics software.

The partnership brings together DOBOT's collaborative robot platforms with RiACT's RiFLEX universal robot operating system, creating a plug-and-play automation solution designed to reduce deployment complexity for manufacturers.

Traditional industrial automation often requires specialized programming knowledge, complex integration processes, and dedicated engineering resources. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to simplify robot operation and enable more businesses, including SMEs, to adopt flexible automation technologies.

DOBOT provides the hardware foundation through its CRA and CRH collaborative robot series, offering safe and versatile robotic systems designed for applications including assembly, palletizing, and machine tending. RiACT contributes its software abstraction layer, allowing users to manage robotic workflows through a simplified interface.

At the core of the alliance is a shared human-centric mission: aligning DOBOT’s commitment to "Elevate People" with RiACT’s goal to "unlock human potential." Rather than replacing workers, the combined solution removes tedious programming tasks, allowing shop floor operators to focus on higher-value work.

The collaboration builds on previous pilot projects and joint industry activities, evolving into a formal alliance supported by ecosystem integration, joint demonstrations, webinars, and shared presence at key industry events.

Founded in 2015, DOBOT develops collaborative robots and intelligent automation solutions, with more than 100,000 robots deployed across over 100 countries and regions. RiACT, founded in 2018 in Copenhagen, Denmark, develops RiFLEX, a universal robot operating system designed to simplify programming and enable cross-brand robot compatibility.
