Imagine performing a delicate task in New York while controlling a robot remotely to cook a meal for your child back home in Florida. This is not sci-fi. Meet DOBOT Atom in Guangdong, the humanoid robot that can be controlled in real-time from 1,800 kilometers away.
We witnessed cutting-edge technology at the 138th Canton Fair held in Guangzhou (Oct 15-Nov 4) and then visited a tech company in Shenzhen on Oct 17 to see the real advancements in Guangdong's robotics.
The breakthrough of DOBOT Atom in long-distance motion mapping means a top surgeon could guide a complex procedure from another city, or you could assist your family at home from across provinces.
Beyond remote control, Atom walks, works on factory lines, makes popcorn, and cares for pets. It represents a new era—not of replacement, but of extension, where human capability is amplified across any distance.
The future of work, care, and connection is being redefined in Guangdong. Watch now and step into the next century of life.
