"We now have around 25 Dobot robots in our two faculties in RMUTP with around 3,000 students learning. And I am encouraging other faculties to incorporate robots into their studies," said Dr. Natworapol Rachsiriwatcharabul. "Dobot robot is very human-friendly. The SafeSkin technology can help persuade students to work with robots closely. We use Dobot courses in the normal curriculum and also some upskilled courses meeting the industry needs. Thailand is not a country with heavy industry, requiring many robot payloads. The Dobot robot size is perfect for our industry. I was amazed by Dobots with more than 1200 Intellectual Property Rights, ranking#1 export sales in China in such a short time. Dobots owns a strong R&D, technical, and sales team."
