Chinese firm Dobot develops robotic arm capable of lifting high payload at record speed
Chinese robotics company Shenzhen Dobot has developed a new product that can deliver a high payload at record speed.
The CR 30H series, consisting of three models, is a six-axis robotic arm that can lift as much as 30 kilograms at speeds of 300 degrees per second, the fastest in the industry for such a payload, according to a company statement on Friday.
In addition, the machine is able to remain stable, with a vibration range of less than 0.3 millimeters under a full load, allowing it to perform delicate tasks such as carrying beverages and handling silicon wafers.
One of the three models, the CR 30HT, has built-in torque sensors so that users can teach the robot the required action by dragging the arm instead of programming it, saving 90 per cent of preparation time, the company said.

As well as the standard model, the third type, designated CR 30H-Food, uses food-grade lubricants and features easy-to-clean surfaces, making it suitable for dairy, frozen food and pharmaceutical production lines.
Shares of Hong Kong-listed Dobot edged up more than 1 per cent to close at HK$57.9 on Friday.

Hong Kong's first-half IPOs soar eightfold, returning HKEX to world's top spot for capital
Funds from Hong Kong's initial public offerings (IPOs) have soared eightfold in the first six months of 2025 from last year, propelling the city to the top of global rankings for the first time since 2019. Advertisement A total of 42 companies raised US$13.5 billion on the Main Board of the Hong Kong stock exchange during the first half, according to data released on Monday by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). Nasdaq was in second place with US$8.85 billion raised, while the New York Stock Exchange ranked third with US$7.52 billion, according to LSEG data. 'The IPO market in Hong Kong has continued its upwards trajectory since January, driven in part by DeepSeek's influence,' which caused worldwide investors to re-evaluate and rerate Asian stocks, said Haitong International's head of equity capital markets Kenneth Ho Shiu-pong. 'This resurgence has been supported by a substantial increase in active participation from international investors and significant Southbound inflows, further enhancing the market's overall appeal,' Ho said. 'A key factor sustaining this high level of activity is the robust post-listing performance, [where] the average IPO investors could enjoy a return exceeding 30 per cent.' Hong Kong jumped 12 spots in the first six months from the same period last year, capping the best first-half since 2021, when proceeds surpassed US$30.28 billion, before the city's stock market went into a deep freeze in a post-pandemic economic slump.

Why India's real estate surge doesn't make it a substitute for China
Yet among the leading economies in the region, the performance gap between China and India is far and away the most palpable divergence in Asian real estate. That the region's two biggest emerging markets, and the world's most populous countries , are expected to play a bigger role in driving global growth in the next five years makes their diverging fortunes all the more striking. In China, the housing crisis has damaged confidence to such an extent that the government has considered scrapping the discredited pre-sales model and forcing developers to offer only completed flats, mainly to restrict supply and help stabilise prices. Unfinished properties accounted for 90 per cent of new home sales when the crisis erupted in 2021. While there were signs of green shoots earlier this year, the contraction in new and second-hand house prices is deepening again on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, real estate investment was down 10.7 per cent in the first five months of this year. In the commercial property sector, sentiment in mainland China is the most downbeat among the leading real estate markets in the Asia-Pacific, according to the results of a CBRE survey of leasing activity in the office, retail and industrial markets on June 12. While Chinese equities – particularly Hong Kong-listed shares – are attracting more interest from global investors this year, partly because of a stronger willingness to diversify portfolios away from the United States, mainland China and Hong Kong are the least-preferred commercial property markets in the Asia-Pacific among cross-border investors. In China's office market, net take-up has collapsed since 2021 while supply has remained at pre-pandemic levels, leading to an acute imbalance that pushed up the average vacancy rate among 10 leading cities tracked by CBRE to 23.5 per cent in the first quarter of this year. In Shanghai and Beijing, vacancy rates are among the highest in the region while rents for grade A offices fell at the sharpest pace in the first quarter.
