This makes the cobot suitable for standardized treatment workflows, robot-assisted service concepts, and new automation models in patient-proximate environments. Each specific application must always be planned on a project-by-project basis, including a safety concept and risk assessment.
The Dobot Nova 5 can be programmed via drag-teaching, graphical user interfaces, trajectory playback, DobotStudio Pro, CRStudio, and SDKs. For simple applications, no-code workflows are possible, while experienced developers can implement deeper integrations into production, laboratory, service, or IT systems using Lua, Python, C++, and various interfaces.
Yes, the Dobot Nova 5 can be integrated into existing systems via TCP/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, RS485, and USB. According to Terra Robotics, the control box offers 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. This enables integration into PLCs, MES, SCADA, POS systems, laboratory software, cloud backends, sensor technology, vision systems, or conveyor technology.
The Dobot Nova 5 offers five adjustable safety levels, intelligent motion detection, collision detection within 0.01 seconds, and pose freeze in the event of a power failure. Combined with an IP54 rating and project-specific risk assessment, this supports its use in counter areas, laboratories, treatment rooms, assembly workstations, and other human-centric environments.
The Dobot Nova 5 can be purchased, leased, or requested as a custom project solution from Terra Robotics. Purchase is suitable for companies that want to use the cobot on a permanent basis. Leasing offers predictable monthly costs and preserves liquidity, while a project inquiry is particularly useful for gastronomy automation, retail concepts, healthcare applications, laboratory automation, machine tending, training, installation, and scalable cobot implementation.
The DOBOT Nova 5 is a high-performance collaborative robot arm with a 5 kg payload and an 850 mm reach, specifically designed for use in space-constrained, human-centric environments. As a compact 6-DOF cobot with ±0.05 mm repeatability, it combines industrial performance with an elegant design that is ideal for catering, retail, healthcare, laboratory automation, and light assembly.
Unlike classic industrial robots, the Nova 5 is designed to require only about 1 m² of floor space and can be integrated almost anywhere with its compact control box – whether on a café counter, in a physiotherapy room, at a laboratory station, or in a small production cell.
With a 5 kg payload, the DOBOT Nova 5 covers a wide range of workpiece weights – from cups, bottles, and packaging to components, assemblies, and trays, as well as laboratory samples and tools. The 850 mm reach allows for servicing multiple stations or levels within a cell, e.g., cup pickup, machine, dispensing station, and output area.
The repeatability of ±0.05 mm ensures that positions are reliably returned to – important for screw-driving applications, soldering, dispensing, lab automation, or precise handling of components. With a TCP speed of up to 2 m/s, the cobot is fast enough to significantly improve cycle times in pick-and-place, packaging, or assembly processes.
The IP54 protection class protects against dust and splashing water, making the Nova 5 robust for use in food and beverage environments, laboratories, or production areas. The dead weight of approx. 14 kg facilitates transport, retooling, and flexible layouts – ideal for operators who wish to roll out robotics solutions gradually or reconfigure them frequently.
Thanks to its specifications, the DOBOT Nova 5 is extremely versatile. In the catering sector, for example, it automates coffee and beverage stations, prepares cocktails, operates draft beer systems, or takes over tasks in the snack and pasta area. Beverage preparation, cup handling, topping dispensing, and dispensing can be standardized with a single cobot.
In retail and vending, the Nova 5 is suitable for show and self-service concepts: robot-controlled snack machines, fresh food counters, dessert or ice cream stations, product showcases, or interactive robot experiences in-store. The customizable color outer casing blends into brand and shop designs, making the robot a visible part of the customer experience.
A special field of application is the healthcare sector, particularly massage and physiotherapy applications. The Nova 5 was designed, among other things, to execute defined pressure profiles and movements along the back, neck, or waist with high repeatability. The combination of precise force control and high repeatability enables standardized treatment processes and new business models in the field of "robotics in therapy".
In industry and laboratory automation, the cobot plays to its strengths in the handling of components, machine loading, screwing, soldering, dispensing, and light assembly tasks. Electronics manufacturing, automotive components, consumer goods and medical technology, laboratory automation, and quality inspection are typical fields in which the Nova 5 makes processes more efficient and stable.
A central advantage of the DOBOT Nova 5 is its user-friendliness. Thanks to drag-teaching, movements can be demonstrated manually and saved without the need for programming skills. Graphical user interfaces and the CRStudio app allow for the configuration, testing, and optimization of sequences via an intuitive interface.
For more complex projects, DobotStudio Pro and an extensive SDK are available. Via TCP/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, RS485, and USB, the cobot can be integrated into point-of-sale systems, PLC/SPS, MES, SCADA, laboratory software, or cloud platforms. Developers can script processes, query status data, integrate external sensors and vision systems, or connect the cobot to mobile applications.
This makes the Nova 5 suitable for both fast stand-alone solutions (e.g., robot barista, snack station, massage robot) and deeply integrated industrial and laboratory cells in which the cobot is part of a larger automation system.
In customer- and patient-facing scenarios, safety and trust are the top priority. The Nova series therefore brings several safety features: intelligent sensors, five adjustable protection levels, collision stop within 0.01 seconds, human movement detection, and pose retention when the power supply is switched off.
These features enable safe human-robot collaboration at counters, in treatment rooms, laboratories, or assembly workplaces – always in compliance with relevant standards and a project-specific risk assessment. The compact control box, small footprint, and the option of mounting in any orientation (e.g., ceiling, wall, counter) facilitate integration into existing rooms without extensive renovations.
Visually, the outer casing can be designed in various colors so that the cobot matches the corporate design and store concept. In high-traffic areas, this creates a modern, recognizable robot experience that combines automation with brand impact.
The DOBOT Nova 5 is positioned as a cost-efficient entry-level cobot that simultaneously offers professional industrial performance. Low weight, compact control, IP54 protection, and easy handling reduce integration and operating costs. Standardized processes – such as coffee preparation, snack handling, or simple assembly or laboratory routines – can be scaled to multiple locations without having to start from scratch each time.
For operators of chains, franchises, or distributed production sites, this means: workflows can be defined centrally, distributed via the cloud, and monitored locally. This turns the Nova 5 from a single cobot into a building block for scalable service and industrial robotics.
