🔬

Research-Ready Platforms

From 48 to 200 TOPS of AI compute, with open SDKs and ROS 2 support, our platforms give research labs the processing headroom for advanced perception and autonomy work.

🔄

Robot as a Service

Predictable subscription pricing replaces capital equipment budgets. Hardware, software, curriculum, and support delivered together — always current, always covered.

Research and Education Are Evolving

Institutions are increasingly focused on real-world automation, embodied AI, and experiential learning. The workforce of the future requires hands-on skills in robotics, computer vision, and human-robot interaction that traditional lecture-based programs cannot deliver alone.

50%+ of Roles Need New Skills by 2027

The World Economic Forum projects that more than half of all employees will require significant reskilling within the next few years, driven by AI and automation adoption across industries.

Rising Employer Demand

Employers increasingly prioritize experiential, hands-on learning over traditional coursework. Programs that offer real-robot experience produce graduates who are job-ready from day one.

The K1 Humanoid Platform

The K1 lineup puts NVIDIA-powered humanoid robots within reach of every STEM program. Three configurations — Geek (48 TOPS), Edu (117 TOPS), and Pro (200 TOPS) — share the same compact ~95 cm frame with 22 degrees of freedom, giving students and researchers a consistent platform that scales from introductory courses to advanced AI research.
