DOBOT and RiACT Formalize Partnership to Democratize Smart Automation
DOBOT and RiACT unite hardware precision with software simplicity. DOBOT Robotics, a global leader in collaborative robotics, and RiACT, the Danish deep-tech pioneer behind the universal robot operating system RiFLEX, are proud to announce an official strategic partnership.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in making industrial automation accessible, flexible, and easy to deploy for enterprises worldwide.
While the two companies have long shared a vision for simplifying robotics, their relationship has now evolved from successful pilot projects and event collaborations into a formalized alliance. The partnership combines DOBOT’s industry-leading collaborative robot hardware with RiACT’s software abstraction layer, creating a seamless "plug-and-play" experience for manufacturers who need to scale production without hiring specialized robotics engineers.
Why This Partnership Matters
For decades, the barrier to entry for industrial automation has been high. Traditional robots require extensive programming, safety fencing, and specialized integration services. DOBOT and RiACT are dismantling these barriers together:
DOBOT provides the hardware backbone: safe, precise, and versatile collaborative robots like the CRA and CRH series, designed to work alongside humans.
RiACT provides the intelligence layer: RiFLEX acts as a universal operating system for robots, abstracting away the complexity of different hardware brands. It allows users to command robots through a simplified, modular interface—much like using apps on a smartphone.
Together, they offer a complete solution where hardware and software are pre-integrated and optimized for each other. This means faster deployment, lower total cost of ownership, and the flexibility to switch between tasks—such as assembly, palletizing, or machine tending—with minimal downtime.
A Shared Vision for Accessible Automation
At the heart of the DOBOT and RiACT partnership is a shared conviction: industrial automation should be accessible to everyone, not just large enterprises with deep pockets. Both companies are driven by a mission to democratize robotics, lowering the barriers to entry so that SMEs and non-experts can leverage the same advanced technologies as industry giants.
This mission is deeply human-centric. DOBOT’s promise to "Elevate People" aligns perfectly with RiACT’s goal to "unlock human potential." Rather than replacing workers, both companies believe technology should remove tedious, complex programming tasks, freeing shop floor operators to focus on higher-value work. By prioritizing simplicity and accessibility through intuitive, no-code interfaces, they ensure that deploying and reconfiguring robots is as easy as using a smartphone app.
This shared philosophy extends to flexibility and innovation. In a modern manufacturing landscape that demands agility, both DOBOT and RiACT champion solutions that can be quickly adapted for different tasks—from assembly to palletizing. By combining DOBOT’s hardware precision with RiACT’s software intelligence, the partnership fosters a collaborative approach to innovation, creating seamless, integrated solutions that reshape how people work and making smart manufacturing truly accessible.
The Partnership in Practice
This collaboration moves beyond a simple agreement into a joined ecosystem.
On the marketing front, RiACT is now featured as a certified software partner on DOBOT’s ecosystem website, backed by joint content, webinars, and a shared presence at key industry events. RiACT and DOBOT will join their ecosystems and conducting joint demonstrations to showcase the seamless integration of DOBOT hardware and RiFLEX software.
