01

Perception

Camera and spatial sensing turn the world around R.O.B. into actionable context.

02

Motion

Tracked mobility and articulated arms bring intelligent decisions into physical space.

03

Personality

Live multimodal AI gives R.O.B. a voice, awareness, and a more natural presence.

Fresh from the workshop · November 2026

A can. Two arms. A lot of practice.

Get closer to ROB's can-handling process: the gripper closes, the can lifts, and the torso turns. Two new workshop notes join the original highlight demo.
