AR-H / Humanoid Platform

Human scale. Machine endurance.

AR-H is a general-purpose humanoid robotic platform designed for physical work inside environments already built around the human body. Its value comes from compatibility: human reach, human circulation, human tools and human interfaces.

Height
174 cm
Payload
18 kg
Runtime
5.5 h
Motion
42 DOF

Representative engineering targets. Final configuration remains subject to validation and deployment requirements.

01 / Purpose
Human-scale physical autonomy

The world already fits the human body.

Doors. Handles. Stairs. Shelves. Machines. Control panels. Hand tools. Workstations. Industrial facilities are filled with interfaces created for human dimensions. AR-H is not humanoid because human appearance is the objective. It is humanoid because human-compatible geometry can provide access to an enormous installed physical environment.

01 Doors, stairs and access paths
02 Tools, fixtures and manual controls
03 Shelves, benches and operator stations
04 Workflows designed around reach
02 / Platform anatomy
Body architecture / control surfaces

A body organized around perception, reach and balance.

Head

Perception

RGB, depth and inertial inputs establish task space and body state.

Torso

Compute / power

Embedded control, battery systems and thermal routing sit near the body axis.

Arms

Manipulation

Force-aware joints support reaching, lifting and contact-rich movement.

Hands

Gripping

Adaptive end effectors handle tools, parts, handles and repeatable grasps.

Hips

Load transfer

Pelvis mechanics connect torso payload, step timing and balance control.

Legs

Mobility

Bipedal actuation gives AR-H access to circulation built for people.

Power

Runtime

Energy management prioritizes task endurance and controlled fault states.

Control

Embedded loops

Local controllers close motion, force and recovery loops near the hardware.

03 / Manipulation
Object to contact to recovery

Manipulation is a closed loop.

AR-H localizes objects, plans grasp geometry, generates trajectories and checks contact. When position, force or object state diverges, the robot detects the error and recovers instead of blindly repeating motion.

04 / Mobility
Balance / walking / circulation

Movement through human-scale circulation.

AR-H mobility covers balance, walking, turning, industrial floor navigation and obstacle negotiation. The platform is shaped for sites where floor plans, thresholds and machines were never designed around a mobile base.

01 Dynamic balance while carrying task load
02 Turning and repositioning around workstations
03 Obstacle negotiation on industrial floors
04 Reach-aligned stance for manipulation tasks
05 / Intelligence
Shared ARUS autonomy stack

One intelligence layer. Humanoid constraints.

AR-H applies the ARUS stack through a body with balance, reach, contact and force limits. Perception builds the scene, the world model tracks task state, planning selects motion, and verification checks whether the physical outcome is real.

06 / Applications
Where human-scale access matters

Work where reach, tools and access define the task.

A01

Machine tending

Loading, unloading and interface steps around equipment built for operators.

A02

Material handling

Manual movement tasks across benches, shelves and machines.

A03

Inspection

Visual and contact checks in locations designed around human stance.

A04

Industrial support

Repetitive physical operations in hazardous or hard-to-staff zones.

07 / Safety
Constraints before autonomy

Physical autonomy is bounded.

AR-H behaviour is constrained by collision awareness, force limits, speed zones, fault states, emergency stop interfaces, human override and telemetry. Safety architecture remains part of deployment engineering, not an afterthought.

01 Collision and proximity awareness
02 Force and speed constraints
03 Fault state detection and safe stop
04 Human override and operational telemetry
08 / Deployment

Discuss AR-H deployment.

AR-H deployment starts with the environment: access paths, object geometry, human proximity, reach, tools, duty cycle and recovery expectations.
