Canonical robot record

Overview

The Dobot Nova 2 is the entry payload model in Dobot's Nova series of collaborative robots, launched as part of a line aimed squarely at retail and service automation rather than the traditional factory floor. Its ultra-compact design lets it operate in a very small footprint, making it suitable for crowded commercial settings such as cafes, kiosks, and small workshops.

The robot is built for operators without robotics expertise. It can be programmed through drag-to-teach motion, a graphical user interface, and playback of recorded trajectories, and it can be controlled from a companion app or PC software. This no-code approach lets staff configure and adjust tasks quickly.

Safety and flexibility are central to the design. The Nova 2 incorporates intelligent collision sensing with multiple adjustable protection levels and supports mounting at any angle, allowing it to be integrated into a wide range of commercial layouts and serving applications.

RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.
