RoBee R
AI ChatLast updated:
RoBee Series R is Oversonic Robotics' flagship industrial humanoid: a cognitive AI robot on a differential-drive base with two arms (5 kg each, 10 kg bimanual) that moves autonomously, manipulates with ±1 mm deterministic accuracy and talks to operators through a multilingual voicebot. It stands 162–190 cm, runs up to 8 hours on two lithium-ion batteries with inductive auto-recharge, and integrates with ERP/MES systems through APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is RoBee R, and what problem is it designed to solve?
RoBee R is Oversonic Robotics' industrial cognitive humanoid. It automates repetitive or physically demanding tasks in facilities built for people, so factories do not have to be redesigned around automation.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of RoBee R?
It combines autonomous navigation with safety-rated obstacle detection, precise two-armed manipulation, multilingual voice interaction, a cloud console for fleet management and predictive maintenance, and APIs for ERP and MES systems. Operators can also guide it remotely with a teach pendant or a VR headset.
Q3. Who is RoBee R built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
It is built for manufacturers, especially semiconductor and electronics plants, along with other industrial and logistics sites that need flexible automation next to human workers.
Q4. Is RoBee R a commercial product or still a research prototype?
It is a commercial product. It is CE-certified, already working in Italian companies, and covered by a supply agreement with STMicroelectronics.
Q5. Is RoBee R currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
Oversonic sells RoBee R through project-based quotes and expanded to the US market in January 2026. Delivery timing is agreed with Oversonic per project.
Q6. How does RoBee R actually work in real-world environments?
Its cognitive AI processes speech, reasoning and select vision tasks on the robot itself, an approach shown at CES 2026 on Intel Core Ultra edge processors. Missions are built as execution graphs, connect to plant IT systems, and can be supervised through the cloud console.
Q7. When was RoBee R announced or officially launched?
Oversonic brought RoBee to market in 2023 and showed a refreshed version at CES 2026, followed by its US launch in January 2026.
Q8. How is RoBee R different from other robots in the same category?
RoBee R is a wheeled humanoid designed around safety certification and on-robot cognition, and it belongs to a family that spans industry, healthcare and logistics. That differs from bipedal humanoids focused on walking, and it is made in Italy.
Q9. Does RoBee R require additional development or customization after purchase?
Yes. Missions, vision models and integrations with ERP and MES systems are typically tailored to each site, and Oversonic supplies tools such as ML Studio for training vision tasks.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for RoBee R?
Oversonic plans to widen deployments, including across STMicroelectronics plants, to grow its US presence, and to keep extending the RoBee software platform across the R, M and F series.
