We’ve been working hard to get ready for the 2025 launch of our consumer and companion robot. Our goal is developing the robot’s core parts like actuators, motors, and power supplies.
We have begun reducing our dependence on overseas suppliers and instead integrating vertically. This will give us more control and security over our supply chain, ensuring consistent quality of our robots.
Actuators
WOLF Actuator V1.1 has been released, and is available for download on GitHub, Printables, and Thingiverse (links are below). Testing has been done on this release, and several issues have been corrected. We are anticipating a release of V1.2 in early September.

Development work has ramped up on our custom cycloidal actuators. These offer several improvements over planetary drives, namely in shock-resistance and low backlash. The reduction ratio can also be greatly scaled while maintaining the same footprint.
Testing and validation of these actuators is ongoing, with the results looking very promising. We are anticipating a late 2024 launch of these actuators, with the designs being open-sourced.
Hands
We’ve been developing a highly dexterous, rugged and low-cost robotic hand. It is designed for ease of mass-production, and can be scaled as required. It has zero actuators in the hand itself, enabling for greater payload capacity, compliance, and durability.
Legs
The improved digitigrade legs of the Anthro are being evaluated with the new cycloidal actuators. You can expect a demo in early to mid September. Our August demo reel can be found on YouTube:
