Ambidex

Ambidex is a revolutionary dual-arm humanoid robot developed by Naver Labs, designed to closely mimic the structure and dexterity of the human arm through innovative cable-driven mechanisms. Weighing only 2.6 kg per arm—lighter than the average human arm—it achieves exceptional speed and flexibility, capable of moving at speeds up to 5 m/s while safely interacting with humans. Ambidex features 7 degrees of freedom per arm, allowing human-like manipulation and complex task execution such as dicing vegetables, assembling furniture, and playing table tennis. The robot is taught tasks through a haptic feedback device that enables operators to control and feel the robot’s movements in real time, facilitating precise and delicate operations. Ambidex supports high-speed wireless real-time control via 5G networks and is intended for applications in cooking, laundry, serving, nursing, rehabilitation, and other daily activities, emphasizing safe coexistence and collaboration between humans and robots.

Ambidex performs fast, precise, and safe dual-arm manipulation tasks that require human-like dexterity. It learns complex tasks through haptic teaching, enabling it to execute activities such as food preparation, furniture assembly, and interactive games. The robot is designed to work alongside humans in domestic and industrial environments, providing assistance in daily chores and specialized tasks.
