中 Industrial Humanoid Spurs Up Mass Production, 'Faster Than Hyundai Motor Atlas'

Hyundai Motor's physical AI humanoid Atlas, which was introduced at CES 2026 in January, attracted attention for its accurate walking and delicate movement. This is mainly a robot for use in production sites, and it aims to distribute 30,000 units by 2028. On the other hand, China is speeding up mass production faster than this.

On the 4th, Chinese humanoid producer DOBOT announced that it has completed mass production and delivery of its third production of its large industrial humanoid robot, ATOM. This is the second delivery after mass production, it added. In addition to intelligent performance, Dobot's Atom is designed to comply with industrial standards such as hardware selection, structural reinforcement, and thermal protection.

The joint module has been tested approximately 10,000 times, and real-time dynamic balance algorithms ensure rapid stability recovery after impact. This may be a very important factor in industrial sites where economic losses are caused by outages. In addition, the ATOM design actively reflected Dobot's engineering experience accumulated by deploying more than 100,000 cooperative robots worldwide.

In terms of applications, Atom can replace end effectors for gripping, assembly, and inspection tasks, supporting multi-robot collaboration. Deployed through an integrated platform, these robots can be synchronized to handle complex tasks through collaboration with highly organized work teams, which are essential for flexible production lines and logistics warehouse operations.

The overall expansion of Chinese humanoids is expected to continue for the time being. However, there are still disagreements on whether globalization will take place beyond the domestic market after wiping out the stigma of low prices like Chinese solar kits and electric cars.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Atlas plans to complete the demonstration and simple work stage by this year and next year, and introduce a full-scale mass-produced humanoid in 2028.
