Phantom MK1

Phantom MK1

The Phantom MK1 is a robust humanoid robot engineered for industrial, warehouse, and defense applications, standing at human scale with advanced manipulation capabilities. Featuring proprietary cycloidal actuators that deliver high torque up to 160 Nm while remaining back-drivable for safe human interaction, it excels in precise grasping and tool use with 19 upper body degrees of freedom and five-fingered hands. Its camera-first vision system, powered by large language models, enables natural language commands like "pick that up" to translate into fluid whole-body motions without bulky LiDAR. Capable of 1.7 m/s walking speed, 20 kg payload, and near-24/7 operation, the Phantom MK1 navigates human environments seamlessly, handling assembly, inspections, logistics, and reconnaissance. Bipedal design with active balance supports rough terrain and confined spaces, prioritizing reliability, speed, and adaptability over gimmicks for real-world productivity.
