Shenzhen AI robotics firm: DoraSorter parcel-sorting arms, MARS omnidirectional AMRs and MOMA mobile manipulators; FedEx deployed DoraSorter
Dorabot is a Chinese robotics company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It applies computer vision, motion and grasp planning, deep learning, 2D and 3D SLAM and multi-robot coordination to automate material handling in logistics and manufacturing. Overseas branches have been reported in Atlanta, United States and Brisbane, Australia.
The portfolio spans fixed arms and mobile platforms. DoraSorter is an AI parcel-sorting arm for small packages and envelopes. Loading arms handle larger boxes inside trailers and containers. The MARS family (MARS, MARS-2, MARS-3) are high-speed omnidirectional wheeled autonomous mobile robots operated as a multi-agent fleet. MOMA (MOMA-2, MOMA-3) is a general-purpose mobile manipulator combining an omnidirectional base, 3D vision and tactile grasping. The Dorabot Hand is a human-like multi-finger gripper with tactile sensing. A MINI autonomous pallet jack measuring 1,420 x 750 x 730 mm is listed in the mobile-robots.com Mobile Robot Directory, together with a pallet floor-to-floor forklift. Load-planning software for trailers and containers accompanies the hardware. Listed tasks are picking, placing, induction, sorting, palletising, depalletising, transport and loading.
In 2022 FedEx Express put DoraSorter into service at its Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou to sort cross-border e-commerce shipments; this is the company's most widely reported deployment. Other stated markets are express delivery, seaports, airports, retail and advanced manufacturing.
Dorabot is venture-backed. Reported investors include Sinovation Ventures, Hongtai Capital, GP Capital, Plug and Play and Yunfeng Capital, with a Series A in 2016 and a Series A+ in 2018. Total raised is not reliably disclosed.
