BEYOND HUMAN CAPABILITIES

SAM-1

We’ve created a human capable droid that can operate in human environments. SAM-1 represents the movement of robotics from fixed use, caged settings to general-purpose, real-world conditions.

SENSING

SAM-1 comes with a complete set of better-than-human senses powered by state-of-the-art sensors, CPUs, GPUs, and MCUs.

VISION

SAM-1 has 100fps RGB-Depth sensing. This allows the robot to understand the world in real-time, develop better 3D world models, and to learn more quickly. This coupled with advanced computer vision algorithms allows the SAM-1 to do some amazing things.

HEARING

SAM-1 has directional 360 sound sensing. This allows the robot to locate sounds and voices. The voice system handles speech recognition and sound recognition.

TOUCH

The droid senses touch in multiple zones of its body and hands. SAM-1 can sense the force applied from the environment and the force it is applying. This sense of touch is essential to safety and fine-grained interactions.

KINESTHESIS

Kinesthesis is the sense of the position and movement of body parts. SAM-1 comes with an array of 9dof sensors tracking the position of every part of the droid in real-time.

DOING

Because of the humanoid form factor of SAM-1, this droid can move and manipulate objects with its hands just like a human. SAM-1 has complete 4 fingers and thumb hands with 15 degrees of freedom. This enables the robot to utilize tools and environments designed for humans. The droid’s low-level reactive control system provides balance and safety, while the high-level cognitive system allows the droid to do complex operations. We are initially targeting behaviors for manufacturing environments, but SAM-1 is a truly general-purpose humanoid droid.
