The Dobot MG400 stands apart from the usual products offered by Pololu. While its 8 kg (17 lb) weight is compact for a collaborative robot, it is larger and priced higher than typical Pololu offerings. However, the cost remains highly competitive given its impressive ±0.05 mm positional repeatability, making it an excellent choice for serious automation needs. With a footprint of just 19 cm (7.5 in) square, its affordability and compact design also make it ideal for education and research applications that demand professional-grade capabilities beyond hobby-level alternatives.
