Current obstacles

Autonomous task planningUnstructured environments require robust perception, task inference, on-the-fly adaptation.
Cost-competitive manufacturingRMB 158k target requires achieving factory costs while maintaining quality.

Physics limits

Battery energy limits daily runtimeLithium-ion batteries provide limited operational time per charge, typically a few hours. For 8+ hour shifts, robots need frequent recharging or swappable battery packs.
Falling risk on uneven terrainA 55 kg robot falling from standing height poses injury risk if someone is nearby. Stairs, rubble and sloped ground can trigger falls despite balance control.

How it works

3 parts

Locomotion

31 motors and balance control

Motors drive legs, torso, arms. IMU sensors maintain balance walking and climbing.

Manipulation

Arm and hand dexterity

Shoulder, elbow, wrist actuators enable reaching, grasping, fine object placement.

Perception

Onboard sensors

Cameras, depth sensors, ultrasonic for obstacle detection and task navigation.
