Today, we’re launching Axol, a dual-arm robot built for real-world tasks.

We spent the last year deploying robots in factories and grocery stores.

And they kept breaking.

Data collection was just too difficult. Reach and payload were limited. Singularities reduced our workspace. Cables failed but support was slow.

The robots we tried were built for demos, not real tasks.

So we built our own.

Axol is for builders who believe robots should work, in the real world, not just staged environments.

Axol’s Specs:

  • Extra-long 860mm reach & 4kg sustained payload
  • Joints exceeding human range of motion with fewer singularities
  • Protected cabling and robust hardware
  • Open-source SDK + data collection that works out of the box

Our factory is in San Francisco so we can support teams directly and be there when it matters.

Available now.

  • Axol — standalone robot
  • Axol Kit — robot + cameras + compute (start training day 0)

First orders deliver this week.

If you're working on manipulation or physical AI, Axol is for you.
