Dobot Nova 5 Collaborative Robot for Physiotherapy and Commercial Automation
The Dobot Nova 5 collaborative robot combines an 850 mm working radius, 5 kg payload and precision pressure control for commercial applications that require smooth reach, repeatable movement and close human-robot interaction.
Its extended reach can access areas such as the neck, back and waist in robotic massage applications, while Dobot’s proprietary precision pressure-control algorithm supports controlled contact. A compact footprint, graphical programming and user-guided trajectory replay also make the Nova 5 approachable for retail, hospitality and service automation.
Why Choose the Dobot Nova 5?
- Extended working radius: 850 mm reach for wider coverage and flexible positioning.
- 5 kg payload: Supports more demanding tools and commercial workflows than lower-payload Nova models.
- Precision pressure control: Dobot’s proprietary algorithm supports controlled-contact applications such as robotic massage.
- Compact deployment: The Nova Series can operate within approximately 1 m² and uses a palm-sized control box.
- No-code programming: Teach trajectories by physically guiding the robot or use a graphical interface.
- Fast, repeatable motion: Maximum TCP speed of 2 m/s with ±0.05 mm repeatability.
- Collaborative safety: Intelligent sensors provide five adjustable protection levels.
- Custom appearance: Exterior color combinations can be selected to fit customer-facing spaces.
Precision Reach for Massage Applications
The Nova 5’s 850 mm working radius helps it reach massage areas including the neck, back and waist. Precision pressure control is designed to support a more consistent experience where controlled physical contact is required.
Portable, Space-Efficient Automation
Nova Series robots are 33%–44% lighter and 20% smaller than Dobot CR counterparts. The compact control box supports rapid deployment without requiring major changes to an existing room or commercial layout.
Easy Programming and Cloud Management
User-guided trajectory replay and graphical programming allow teams to create workflows without coding experience. Users can also monitor cobot activity and manage software upgrades through the cloud.
Enhanced Collaborative Safety
Intelligent sensors offer five adjustable protection levels, and operation stops within 0.01 second after collision detection. Additional features include human-motion sensing and posture freeze after power shutoff.
Customizable for Customer-Facing Environments
Nova Series exterior customization lets businesses mix and match color combinations that coordinate with their brand and environment.
