Bimanual industrial robotics

Two arms.Real work.Built to assemble

Origin is a general-purpose bimanual platform for the physical work that keeps industry running — priced for the shops that robotics has always passed over.

Head-on

Both arms clear the torso envelope, so left and right workspaces overlap in front of the chest — where two-handed tasks actually happen.

01Perception

It sees the way it works.

Depth cameras at the head and wrists give Origin a view of the workspace and the parts it handles.

02Manipulation

Torque where the work is.

Seven joints in each arm position compliant parallel grippers. Replaceable fingers adapt to the part, with one motor driving both jaws.

TWO 7-DOF ARMS · TWO PARALLEL GRIPPERS

01

Bimanual by design

Two arms that meet in front of the chest. Bracing, handing off, and holding a part while the other hand works it — the things one arm simply cannot do.

02

Human workstations

Sized to the bench, not to a cell. Origin mounts where a person stands and reaches what a person reaches, so the line does not get rebuilt around it.

03

Taught, not programmed

Origin combines learning from demonstrations with offboard inference and responsive local control.

04

Priced to deploy

One platform, serviceable modules, and a cost structure aimed at the shops that have always been quoted out of automation.

Deployment

Tell us the task.
We'll tell you straight.

We are placing Origin with a small number of partner sites — real benches, real parts, real cycle times. If you have repetitive two-handed work and the patience to iterate with us, we want to hear about it.
