Exploiting natural dynamics in attempt to achieve extraordinary arm dexterity.
The robotics industry today resembles the personal computing world of the late 1980s: powerful but inaccessible to most. Current robotic arms and dexterous hands are prohibitively expensive, with prices ranging from $20,000 to over $100,000. This high cost and complexity limit their adoption, keeping small businesses, researchers, and creators from benefiting from automation and decelerating the development of large-scale robotics foundation models.
Actuated is building a low-cost robotic arm system with dexterous hands, priced at under $2,500. Powered by advanced AI and designed for simplicity, our system enables users to teach robots tasks through a few demonstrations (30-70), making robotics accessible to everyone.
