Our custom gripper: H4ND
Robotic hands are often used to manipulate real-world objects. Most are expensive, fragile, and irreparable. Our “H4ND” shows that high degree-of-freedom robots don’t need to be expensive to build (or repair)!
Advancing
Robotic Telepresence
for Humanity.
We develop Robotic Telepresence technology to allow people to intuitively see, hear, and touch distant places in real-time.
Our Research
Solving Real-world problems with smart telerobots
From intercontinental socio-physical human interaction, to disaster relief or space exploration, we look for ways that everyday people can tackle important physical problems without needing to get into harms way.

what we do
Featured Work
DOLA Dual-Arm Telemanipulator
DOLA high-powered, intelligent, and safe dual-arm telepresence robot that remote people can embody to physically interact with a distant environment. Featuring torque control, two H4NDs, and an immersive “tele-head”, DOLA is a intuitive, immersive, and intelligent “gentle giant” in robotic telepresence.
Quadrupedal Locomotion Retargeting
Controlling quadrupeds in unstructured environments requires superb situational awareness, which many contemporary systems lack. We employ Virtual Reality Telepresence to mend this critical gap for outdoor applications.
