R&D Platforms

Humanoids with open SDKs for locomotion, reinforcement-learning, and embodied-AI research — physical test beds for universities and corporate labs.

Core functions
  • Low-level joint and sensor access with SDK / ROS 2
  • Sim-to-real transfer of learned policies
  • Demonstration data collection by teleoperation
Customer value
  • Physical validation strengthens papers and development results
  • Share results on the same hardware as the global research community
  • Start at entry-level prices and scale with the research
Check before deploying
  • Required DoF, whether hands are needed, and how much of the API is open
  • Maintenance contacts and spare parts for falls
