Summary

Duatic develops wheeled half-humanoid robots and lightweight robotic arms for automation and research. Its Alpha robot combines dual DynaArms, vision, autonomous navigation and ROS 2 integration for dynamic manipulation in industrial and developer settings.

Market context

Duatic is part of Zurich\u2019s emerging physical AI and mobile manipulation cluster. Its strongest angle is the hardware stack: a high-power lightweight arm built for mobile platforms, then scaled into a dual-arm wheeled robot aimed at intralogistics, manufacturing and floor-to-shelf object handling.
