Wellington, New Zealand · Embodied AI & robotics
We select, integrate and train humanoids, quadrupeds, robotic arms and drones on the world’s leading open-source platforms, from simulation through to real hardware.
Built on proven open-source tools
What we work on
Whatever the body, the method is the same: pick a proven open platform, train in simulation, then make it work on real hardware.
Bipedal platforms, whole-body control and imitation learning for human-like walking and manipulation.
3 platformsRobot dogs from desktop kits to torque-controlled research platforms, with gait generation and navigation.
3 platformsLow-cost leader–follower arms and humanoid arms for teleoperation, data collection and physical AI.
3 platformsIndustrial-grade flight control, simulation-in-the-loop testing and indoor swarm research.
3 platformsServices
We work across the whole journey, or step in for the part you need. Simulation comes first, because hardware time is the most expensive time in robotics.
We match your goal and budget to the right open platform, then bring hardware, firmware and software together into one working system.
Train and validate in Isaac Lab, MuJoCo, Genesis or Gazebo before touching hardware, then transfer the policies to the real robot.
Leader–follower arms and teleoperation pipelines that capture clean demonstrations for imitation learning.
PX4 and ArduPilot setup, SITL testing and custom flight behaviour for multirotor, fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft.
3D-printed parts, actuator selection, wiring and assembly, so an open design becomes a robot on your bench.
Hands-on sessions for schools, universities and engineering teams, from first robot arm to reinforcement learning.
Open platforms
A few of the open-source projects at the heart of our work.
huggingface/lerobot
Hugging Face's open embodied-AI ecosystem, centred on imitation learning and real-time teleoperation.
TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100
The go-to low-cost AI robot arm: a 3D-printed structure driven by serial bus servos.
PX4/PX4-Autopilot
The most widely used open-source, industrial-grade flight-control firmware, for multirotor, fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft.
Insights
Hardware time is the most expensive time in robotics. Here is how simulation-first engineering keeps projects fast and predictable.
