DESIGNED FOR DISCOVERY

Think. Move. Learn.

One modular humanoid. A shared foundation for supervised research.

Perception

RGB-D and stereo vision, IMU sensing, and state estimation.

UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT

Locomotion

Dynamic balance, bipedal gait planning, and whole-body control.

EXPLORE HUMAN-LIKE MOTION

Manipulation

Articulated arms and simplified grippers for supervised object-handling research.

TURN INTENT INTO ACTION

MODULAR BY DESIGN

From intelligence
to movement.

Research interfaces connect to motion planning and real-time controls. Independent safety layers retain authority over physical execution.

THE ROAD AHEAD

Research first. Readiness next.

  1. 01 / DEVELOPMENT

    Design & simulation

    Architecture, actuator validation, digital twin, and safety concept.

  2. 02 / VALIDATION

    Prototype & pilots

    Supported locomotion, manipulation, research interfaces, and supervised pilot evaluation.

  3. 03 / TARGET: 2028

    Sales readiness

    Targeted after engineering validation, pilot acceptance, and production-readiness review.

Paarth R1 is under development and is not currently available for sale. The 2028 target may change with engineering progress and validation results.
