About

About DOBOT Magician Lite

DOBOT Magician Lite is a four-axis robot arm that pairs a 250 g payload and 340 mm reach with an external Magic Box controller. A built-in air pump operates its suction cup and soft gripper, while a pen holder supports writing and drawing. Collision detection is integrated into the arm.

Magic Box provides Bluetooth and twelve communication interfaces for connecting accessories and sensors. DobotLab combines teaching and playback, block programming, Python and a virtual laboratory, allowing lessons to progress from guided movements to programmed sequences. Optional vision and sensor kits extend the classroom setup to perception and automated responses.
