DOBOT showcased the Atom-W wheeled humanoid robot at Automate 2026 in Chicago (Booth #841, June 23-26, 2026). The Atom-W demonstrated automotive component picking as part of DOBOT's 'DO MORE WITH DOBOT' exhibition theme. The wheeled variant combines industrial-grade dexterous manipulation (28 upper-body DoF, ±0.05mm repeatability) with mobile mobility, powered by DOBOT's Neural Dexterous System (NDS).

DOBOT also presented a DOBOT × Festo humanoid pick-and-place demonstration. This was a trade show exhibition, not a customer deployment site.
