DOBOT's stock price surged 7.95% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting strong investor interest in the robotics sector.

The rally aligns with broad gains across robotics concept stocks, driven by several positive developments in humanoid robotics. Key catalysts include a successful 7x24-hour live stream by humanoid robot company Figure, demonstrating its F.03 robot performing parcel sorting tasks without failure, and confirmation from Tesla CEO Elon Musk that production of the Optimus robot will begin in the coming months.

Adding to the bullish sentiment, Barclays highlighted in a recent thematic report that artificial intelligence is transitioning into "physical AI," with humanoid robots poised to be a primary vehicle for this shift. The bank projects the humanoid robot market could grow into an industry worth up to $200 billion by 2035, supporting a broader physical AI ecosystem valued at $1 trillion.
