Canonical robot record
Overview
The Dobot CR16 is a six-axis collaborative robot arm within Dobot's CR (CRA) series, aimed at handling heavier objects and improving the efficiency of tasks such as palletizing. Dobot describes the series as built around high-performance integrated joints that deliver a meaningful improvement in cycle time alongside stable, accurate motion.
As a collaborative robot, the CR16 is designed to operate safely alongside human workers, with multiple built-in safety functions and certification to established collaborative-robot safety standards. Dobot markets it for a broad range of sectors including automotive, consumer electronics, semiconductor, healthcare, chemical, and retail.
The arm is intended to be flexible and simple to deploy, and is compatible with Dobot's wider ecosystem of plug-and-play accessories and software tooling, lowering the barrier to integrating it into existing production or research workflows.
