What we build

Robotics hardware, software and digital twins—engineered as one system.

We design the mechanical structure, integrate actuators and electronics, build the ROS 2 control layer, add computer vision and validate the complete system on real hardware.

Current development status

Working systems, demonstrated step by step.

We publish progress as capabilities are integrated and demonstrated on physical hardware. These are current engineering milestones—not promises of a finished commercial product.

Demonstrated

MANAS voice interaction

Real-time speaking, listening and question-answering have been demonstrated on the MANAS humanoid platform. Motion, perception and interaction capabilities remain under active integration.

Demonstrated

Dexter teach & playback

Manual lead-through teaching, joint-state recording and autonomous path playback have been demonstrated through a ROS 2-connected control workflow.

In development

Perception to manipulation

Computer vision, calibration and robot-frame motion are being developed as an integrated pipeline for repeatable physical pick-and-place tasks.

Capability availability depends on the selected platform, configuration and deployment scope. Contact us for a current technical demonstration.

Product platforms

Real hardware first. Intelligence built around it.

Two in-house robotics platforms—MANAS and Dexter—give us a hardware foundation for perception, manipulation, human interaction and simulation-to-real development.

Humanoid / Physical AI

MANAS

An embodied Physical AI research platform for articulated motion, gestures, voice, vision and human–robot interaction. Its purpose is to connect interaction research with a physical humanoid and a corresponding digital workflow.

6-DOF Manipulator

Dexter

A compact manipulation platform for teaching motion, calibrating robot–camera workflows, developing pick-and-place and testing ROS 2 control against physical hardware.

Project configuration

Configured for your institution. Engineered as one system.

Selected appearance, identity and hardware options can be scoped for each deployment without turning the platform into a generic catalogue product.

Project-configurable

Colour & finish

Robot shell colour and finish can be selected to suit the lab, institution or demonstration environment, subject to manufacturing approval.

Project-configurable

Client identity

Approved institution or company name, logo treatment, asset identification and project labelling can be applied to the delivered system.

Application configuration

Tooling, cameras, sensors, compute and control accessories are selected around the intended research or pilot workflow.

Examples indicate available design directions, not stocked variants. Final configuration, lead time and validation depend on the agreed project scope.

Technology

One engineering stack, from mechanics to intelligent motion.

Our robots are developed in-house across mechanical design, electronics, control, ROS 2, perception and digital-twin workflows.

Robot CAD engineering work — Mechanical architecture and CAD development

A robot only works when every layer is engineered to work together.

Mechanical engineering

Mechanisms, structure, joint packaging, bearings, DFM and rapid physical iteration.

Electronics & control

Actuators, sensors, embedded controllers, motor communication and joint calibration.

ROS 2 & digital twin

URDF, control interfaces, simulation, Unity and Gazebo workflows, and real-robot synchronization.

Vision & AI

Object detection, calibrated perception and intelligent interaction developed toward reliable physical robot motion.

Integration in progress

Physical robot ↔ digital clone

Physical robot. Digital clone. One engineering loop.

Each lab platform begins with a physical robot. A project-specific Unity digital clone represents selected geometry, joint structure, limits, tooling and interfaces so work can be rehearsed, inspected and compared before physical validation.

These are industrial-style simulation workflows, not a claim of feature parity with every industrial simulation package. Availability depends on platform and project phase.
