Yuejiang CEO and founder Jerry Liu said market opportunities for Dobot continue to expand as more and more SMEs and amateurs are looking for the open source technology to assemble products for fulfilling the personal use and developing the business application.
&#8220;The company sees the huge market demand in the robotic arm and firmly believes it will further bring adding value to the 
business sectors and consumers,&#8221; Liu said. &#8220;We will be continuously dedicated to providing the leading robotic arms solutions in the worldwide.&#8221;
And to cater to various industries, Yuejiang is adding advanced functions to allow the Dobot to perform actions such as PCB soldering, 3D printing and laser cutting with industrial precision.
The Dobot can be controlled by up to seven methods including wireless, hand gestures and EEG. Despite the major developments, Yuejiang opted for lower product price. The company has shipped 2000 units worldwide.
