  • The M1 uses 15 active degrees of freedom across 21 joints, highly backdrivable bi-directional tendon actuation, dual encoders and fingertip tactile sensing.
  • The U1 passive exoskeleton matches the M1 hand's kinematics and sensing so human demonstrations can be collected without operating a live robot.
  • Mimic combines human video, wearable demonstrations, robot teleoperation and deployment data in one learning stack for industrial manipulation.

Develops physical AI systems for dexterous robotic manipulation, combining learned control models with robotic hands and fixed robot stations. Systems are designed to learn from demonstrations and execute tasks in industrial environments.
