At Halodi we are passionate about robots. Our mission is to bring capable humanoid robots to everyone. To achieve this, we have developed Eve, a full-sized humanoid robot that will serve industry and consumers at an affordable price. Eve is unlike any other robot, due to our Revo1 drive system with in-house developed motors and close to frictionless transmissions. This enables her to be the world’s first human strength direct-drive robot. Also, she operates silently and can safely interact with people. We have already set the world records for highest torque to weight ratio servo motors, most transparent transmissions, and highest payload to weight ratio for a robotic arm, and we have barely started. After developing our prototype robot, and successfully securing funding, we are preparing to scale up our organization to further develop our robot and handle production.
