","body":"Today, we’re launching **Axol**, a dual-arm robot built for real-world tasks.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/WjcBwSufr7Q\u003e\n\nWe spent the last year deploying robots in factories and grocery stores.\n\nAnd they kept breaking.\n\nData collection was just too difficult. Reach and payload were limited. Singularities reduced our workspace. Cables failed but support was slow.\n\nThe robots we tried were built for demos, not real tasks.\n\nSo we built our own.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=102875\u0026key=user_uploads/33058/8029ac83-f0a9-4809-8bf9-f13c97c24bc6)\n\nAxol is for builders who believe robots should work, in the real world, not just staged environments.\n\nAxol’s Specs:\n\n* Extra-long 860mm reach \u0026amp; 4kg sustained payload\n* Joints exceeding human range of motion with fewer singularities\n* Protected cabling and robust hardware\n* Open-source SDK + data collection that works out of the box\n\nOur factory is in San Francisco so we can support teams directly and be there when it matters.\n\n**Available now.**\n\n* Axol — standalone robot\n* Axol Kit — robot + cameras + compute (start training day 0)\n\nFirst orders deliver this week.\n\nIf you're working on manipulation or physical AI, Axol is for you.","slug":"QlH-axol-a-dual-arm-robot-built-for-ai","created_at":"2026-06-10T16:30:47.683Z","updated_at":"2026-06-20T18:02:44.869Z","total_vote_count":19,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QlH-axol-a-dual-arm-robot-built-for-ai","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=102875\u0026key=user_uploads/33058/8029ac83-f0a9-4809-8bf9-f13c97c24bc6","company":{"id":30430,"name":"Almond","slug":"almond-2","url":"https://almond.bot/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/37312e12dc6f12e2470a531052ec0e30ee697a75.png","batch":"Spring 2025","industry":"Industrials","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Hardware","Robotics","Manufacturing","Automation"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30430"}}
