DSTEK digital catalogue
Sees clearly, knows the line,
gets the job done
DSTEK started in industrial AI vision inspection and now builds the optics, the inspection machines, the line automation — and DSROBOT, an industrial humanoid. Everything the card could not hold is on this page.

Power figures are for the current single-battery configuration. Runtime, charging time and travel performance vary with load and environment; payload, end effectors and the final supply configuration are confirmed after a process review. Base positioning accuracy refers to the mobile base, not the arm’s repeatability.
Coming soon

Frequently asked
Can I choose the end effector and the compute unit?
We agree the end effector with you — two- or three-finger grippers, multi-joint hands and more. Compute is 183 TOPS as standard, with 2,070 TOPS as an option.
Can it be deployed on premises?
Yes, on-premises deployment is supported. Network and data arrangements are fixed per project.
Does it support automatic charging and fleets?
Automatic charging and single- or multi-robot management are supported. The charging equipment and scope of supply are fixed at quotation.
Factory-wide fleet work
Not one robot — the whole factory working together
A central control centre plans and assigns the work; a fleet of DSROBOT units shares transfer, loading, inspection and stacking around the clock.
