DOBOT Nova 5

Canonical robot record

Overview

The Dobot Nova 5 is a six-axis collaborative robot arm from Shenzhen DOBOT, part of the company's Nova Series aimed at commercial, retail, and service environments rather than purely industrial settings. It is designed to be compact enough to fit within a small footprint while still offering enough reach and payload for tasks such as light assembly, pick-and-place, food and beverage preparation, and other service applications.

A core design goal of the Nova 5 is accessibility. Dobot pairs it with drag-to-teach programming and a graphical user interface so that operators without robotics or coding backgrounds can set it up and reconfigure it quickly. This makes it suited to businesses such as cafes, restaurants, and shops that may not employ dedicated automation engineers.

Safety is emphasized for shared human-robot workspaces. Dobot equips the Nova 5 with intelligent sensing and adjustable protection levels intended to detect contact and halt motion rapidly, supporting deployment in spaces where the robot operates alongside customers and staff.
