QDOX / HumanoidIN THE PIPELINE
A body for
human spaces.
A long-term programme for robotics that fits into human environments and extends what people can do. The work starts with the body, its limits and a clear purpose.
Read the balance reviewCapability begins with the physical world.
Before useful assistance comes the question of whether a machine can carry its own structure, remain stable and handle a task with appropriate limits. Our humanoid is in the pipeline. Our public review explains how balance models can be tested and where their assumptions end.
Body and balance
Study mass distribution, structure and standing before expanding the motion envelope.
Useful assistance
Begin with the demands of a real task and the person doing it, rather than a list of promised capabilities.
Intelligence and oversight
Explore how perception and decision software could eventually meet a verified physical platform, with human control at the centre.
CURRENT STATUS
Humanoid is in the pipeline. The accompanying paper reviews public balance models and proposes validation methods; it reports no QDOX prototype results.
