Origin, HIRO’s black and orange dual-arm robot, in an asymmetric pose

Introducing Origin

Useful work.
Within reach.

Meet Origin, our stationary dual-arm robot designed for human workstations. Two arms. More possibilities for physical work.

HIRO INDUSTRIES / ORIGINStationary. Dual-arm. Human-scale.

Built around
the work.

The world runs on physical work.
We’re building a robot to help.

Origin brings two arms, parallel grippers and head and wrist cameras to a shared workspace. We’re developing it around the tasks people do every day.

A closer look

Purpose in
every detail.

A complete platform. Two arms, a shared workspace, a stationary foundation.

Designed to work together

Reach.
See.
Handle.

01

Two arms, more possibilities.

Seven joints per arm create a versatile starting point for tasks that call for two hands.

02

A view of the work.

Head and wrist cameras bring the task into view from multiple perspectives.

03

Contact that can adapt.

Compliant parallel grippers pair flexible fingers with a straightforward mechanical design.

One platform.
Many possibilities.

Packing, kitting and light assembly are places to begin. Have a different workflow in mind? Let’s explore where Origin could fit.

From finished product to packed box.

A known product. Its accessories. A repeatable package. Start with one pack-out operation and define what a correctly completed box looks like.

Built with the people doing the work

Start with
your work.

01

Show us the work.

Tell us about your workflow, the parts you handle and what a good result looks like.

02

Find the right fit.

Explore the hardware, tooling and integration the task needs, then discuss whether an early design partnership makes sense.

03

Measure what matters.

Evaluate completion quality, cycle time and the human assistance required.
