Overview

A cheaper, smaller sibling of Astribot's S1, a two-arm humanoid upper body on a wheeled base with cable-driven joints carrying up to 5 kg per arm. It is pitched at researchers and developers who want an SDK and VR teleoperation for collecting training data. Astribot showed it autonomously packing a backpack, but more complex household tasks need extra training and no success rates are published. Sensor and compute specs are not public.
