At SEMICON 2026, one of the biggest trade shows for the electronics and semiconductor industry, APulsar showcased robots from its partner, Dobot. The video takes viewers on a walkthrough of the Dobot section at APulsar’s booth, where the presenter explains each cobot and what it can do.
Overview
The video is a short, on-site tour of the APulsar exhibition booth at SEMICON 2026. APulsar’s Dobot product manager guides viewers through several live robot demonstrations set up on the booth floor, including a small robot arm working with a vision camera system, and two larger collaborative robot arms handling delicately with precision on the electronic parts. The video gives viewers a simple, real-world look at how Dobot’s robots work and how they could be used in modern factories.
MG400: A Simple, Low-Cost Robot for Everyday Tasks
The tour begins with the Dobot MG400, a basic pick-and-place robot with an affordable price. It is a good starting point for businesses that want to automate simple tasks or test whether a process is ready for automation.
In the demo, the MG400 works together with a camera and a touchscreen computer. The camera looks at the objects in front of the robot, and the touchscreen shows their exact position. This information is sent to the robot, so it can pick up each object correctly. This shows that even a basic robot like the MG400 can work well with outside tools, such as a camera system.
CR5A and CR5V: Built for Precision and Flexibility
The next robot shown is the Dobot CR5A, followed by the CR5V, both collaborative robots designed to work safely alongside people.
The CR5A demo shows the robot changing tools on its own. It sets down the tool it was using and picks up a new one, a polishing tool, to prepare for the next task.
For polishing work, the robot is paired with a force sensor. This sensor feels how hard the robot is pressing against a surface. If more pressure is applied, the robot adjusts itself automatically, keeping the polishing steady and controlled.
One demo shows the CR5V working with a screw dispenser, a machine that releases one screw at a time. The robot picks up each screw with a screwdriver tool and drives it into the product, a task commonly needed in manufacturing.
What makes the CR5V different is that it is a simplified version of Dobot’s flagship robot. Some advanced features have been removed to lower the cost, making it a practical choice for everyday tasks like pick-and-place, polishing, and assembly work
Safe Skin: Working Safely Alongside People
The final demo introduces Dobot’s Safe Skin technology, built into a version of their collaborative robot. This feature allows the robot to sense when a person or object is nearby and pause its movement before any contact happens.
In the demonstration, as the robot arm moves, a hand is placed near it. The robot detects this and stops immediately. As soon as the hand is pulled away, the robot continues its task automatically. This safety feature is unique to Dobot, and at this time, Dobot is the only manufacturer to include it as a standard feature in its robots.

Summary
This video is a good example of how automation is becoming easier to use and more flexible. Robots like these can be set up quickly, work safely near people, and adjust to small changes in their environment. For businesses looking to improve their production lines, this kind of technology offers a practical way to save time, reduce errors, and free up staff for more important tasks.
Overall, these robots are well suited for real production lines, especially in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, where speed, precision, and consistency matter most. The video gives a clear, hands-on look at how Dobot’s robots are helping shape the future of smart manufacturing.
