Robot Brief

Borg 01 is a modular humanoid robot developed in Detroit, designed specifically to automate repetitive and physically demanding tasks in industrial and manufacturing environments. It features advanced AI for adaptability and can autonomously switch between bipedal walking and wheeled mobility, enabling efficient navigation in warehouses and factories optimized for wheeled movement. Its modular design supports quick swapping of end effectors such as vacuum grippers, dual grippers, and five-fingered robotic hands, with a payload capacity of up to 12 kg. Borg 01 addresses labor shortages and high turnover in manufacturing by performing tough, repetitive jobs with minimal downtime, thanks to its swappable batteries and versatile toolset. The robot is positioned as a future-proof solution that can evolve with industrial needs and expand into household applications.

Use Cases

Borg 01 automates physically demanding, repetitive tasks in manufacturing and warehouse settings. It can walk or roll to navigate complex environments, manipulate objects up to 12 kg with interchangeable end effectors, and adapt to new tasks using AI. Its autonomous switching between mobility modes and quick battery swaps enable continuous operation, enhancing productivity and reducing human workload.

Industries

  • Manufacturing: Automates repetitive, labor-intensive tasks to improve efficiency.
  • Warehousing: Navigates storage facilities to assist in logistics and inventory handling.
  • Industrial Automation: Supports diverse applications with modular end effectors.

Intro

Borg 01 stands 5’8” (173 cm) tall and weighs approximately 62 kg. It combines bipedal locomotion with a wheeled base, autonomously switching between the two to optimize mobility in factory and warehouse environments. The robot’s modular design allows it to swap end effectors within seconds, including vacuum grippers, dual grippers, and a five-fingered hand, capable of handling payloads up to 12 kg. Equipped with advanced neural networks, Borg 01 quickly adapts to new tasks and environments. Its battery can be swapped in seconds, enabling up to 6 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. Designed and manufactured in Detroit, Borg 01 integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without requiring changes to infrastructure.
