Borg 01, mounted on a wheeled base, is performing a warehouse task using suction grippers. It's a rendering of a workflow simulation. The Detroit-based startup plans to unveil a real working robot early next year.
First clean look at Borg 01! The modular design enables quick switching between legs and a wheeled base. It supports diverse end-effectors, including grippers, humanoid hands, and specialized tools. Swapping the mobility system or end-effectors will be handled autonomously.
