…don't require nearly the same precision of classic industrial robots. Our applications require orders of magnitude less precision compared to industrial robots. This allows us to architect the robots in an entirely different way. We believe that we can build a dual-arm system for less than the price of a single-arm classic industrial robot. A full humanoid shouldn’t cost more…
