What it does

B1 goes where wheels cannot: lashing decks, hatch-cover walkways, container and ULD interiors, service stairs and aircraft cabins.

How it is built

The same supply philosophy as W1, with our own hands, tactile sensing, firmware and communications. Locomotion is trained in simulation and refined on our own deck mock-up.

Status

Locomotion prototype in the lab. Early clips are teleoperated and say so on screen.
