Doosan robots are not made in the U.S. ; they’re made in Suwon, South Korea. 

Every Doosan cobot, from the featherweight M-series to the beefy H, takes a direct flight from South Korea. No layovers in Texas for assembly. 

Sure, Doosan has a shiny new office in Plano, but there’s not a single robot factory or assembly line on U.S. soil. 

The real kicker? America’s cobot market is booming, but “Made in America” is still rarer than a robot that doesn’t run on software, unless you choose Standard Bots. 

Where are Doosan robots manufactured?

Doosan Robotics isn’t hiding its roots; every cobot they make is proudly stamped “Made in Korea.” The real Doosan factory is in Suwon, South Korea, and that’s where every M, A, E, H, and P series robot is born. If you’re hoping for a secret warehouse in Ohio, it ain’t there. 

How Doosan keeps it global

• Seoul is the HQ: All robot production, from welding cobots to advanced vision tech, happens at the South Korean HQ.
  
  
• Zero U.S. hardware assembly, and they’re not shy about it: The Plano, Texas, office is just for sales, service, and the occasional product demo. No robot building going on behind closed doors.
  
  
• Korean quality, but international shipping: Every Doosan robot headed to an American shop takes a long-haul journey, meaning your new cobot is racking up the miles.

A closer look at Doosan’s operations in the US

Doosan Robotics wants in on American manufacturing, but don’t let that Texas address fool you. Their Plano office is all sales talk and support emails.

• Selling dreams: The U.S. team is your first call if you want a Doosan cobot, but every machine still ships from South Korea.
  
  
• Support, not a toolbox in sight: They’ll help you coordinate service or warranty claims, but you’re still waiting for parts to clear customs.
  
  
• Middlemen, everywhere: Doosan relies on channel partners and resellers. So even “local” integration means working with a patchwork crew, not really a true factory floor vibe.
  
  
• All assembly happens overseas: By the time your robot hits your dock, its passport’s already stamped. Want a shortcut to real U.S. assembly and support? Try RO1. 

What does local integration mean for US manufacturers?

When you buy Doosan, you’re signing up for world-class hardware, and a front-row seat to the “waiting for international shipping” Olympics.

• Shipping randomness: Need a part in a hurry? Enjoy sweating out every update as your replacement boards two planes and a cargo truck before customs even blinks.
  
  
• Support with a side of delay: The Plano team will answer your call fast, but your downtime clock doesn’t care about polite phone support if the hardware’s halfway across the Pacific. Just pray they have some stock.
  
  
• Integrator dependency: No in-house robotics nerd? Get ready to depend on a local integrator who might be juggling a dozen installs at once. Not exactly Amazon Prime speed. We help you out if you’re choosing the right industrial robot.
  
  
• Compliance nightmare: Chasing grants or federal gigs? All-import robots mean even more paperwork, more scrutiny, and a lot more “Sorry, not eligible” emails.
  
  
• Instant deployment? Dream on: If you want a robot on your floor faster than your crew can make a meme, Doosan’s shipping timeline ain’t your friend. 

What to think about when choosing Doosan or domestic options

Picking a cobot means you know about how much nonsense you want to deal with after you sign the check. Doosan Robotics gives you proven Korean engineering, but you may also be importing other problems. 

Here’s what should be on your checklist:

1. Are you a paperwork junkie? If you need U.S.-assembled machines to qualify for government contracts, Doosan’s import model is an automatic red flag.
   
   
2. Deployment speed: Can your line wait for weeks, or do you want something that shows up ready for action? Some domestic robots go from crate to production in a single shift.
   
   
3. Integration complexity: Doosan means managing vision systems, third-party integrators, and separate software. If your shop is already allergic to IT drama, keep that in mind.
   
   
4. Support that delivers, or just answers: Do you need parts on demand and real-life techs, or are you cool with “support” being an international call and a tracking number?
   
   
5. Future-proofing: Think about how upgrades, expansions, or compliance requirements could trip you up. It’s not just about today’s purchase, it’s about not hitting your head against the wall a year from now.

Standard Bots: US-assembled and AI-driven

Let’s get real, if you want a robot that’s actually assembled on U.S. soil, RO1 from Standard Bots is where the local legends are. No more tracking ships from Korea, no panicking about parts stuck in customs, and definitely no lost-in-translation support calls.

Why does RO1 make global imports look ancient?

• Made and shipped from the U.S.: RO1 isn’t repping a local address while keeping things out-of-country, it’s built, tested, and shipped from American turf.
  
  
• AI-powered, no-code setup: The controls are so simple, your least technical team member could have it running by lunch.
  
  
• 3D vision and serious payload: With 18 kg of muscle and a repeatability tighter than most people’s morning routine, RO1 goes from CNC to packaging line with zero drama.
  
  
• Service, support, and spares, all domestic: You need help? You get U.S.-based techs who actually pick up the phone and parts that arrive before DoorDash gets to your place.
  
  
• Test drive with zero risk: Not sure about making the switch? Take RO1 for a 30-day, risk-free spin and see how it fits your shop for real. Check out our full breakdown of what RO1 can do. 

Doosan vs. RO1: Feature comparison

Here’s how Doosan robotics stacks up against Standard Bots’ RO1, no corporate sugarcoating.

Summing up: Are Doosan robots made in the US?

So, no, Doosan robots are not made in the U.S. Every Doosan cobot is more Korean than BTS, just with a U.S. support line for backup. 

If you want an arm that’s actually made, supported, and shipped from American soil, it’s time to think different, and look at cobots like RO1 that are ready to work where you work, minus the shipping saga.
