Computing
Robin is presented as three layers all built in house. Soft actuation: compliant force-controlled actuators of the company's own design that are mechanically soft by construction rather than by software, covered by four granted US patents. Real-time force control: full-time closed-loop control in which the robot commands force directly instead of commanding a position and absorbing the resulting force. Physical AI: a force-aware model trained in house plus fleet software that maps, navigates, records demonstrations, trains policies and runs them, with new skills and fixes delivered to robots already in the field as software updates. No processor, module or accelerator is published.
Sensors
Force sensing at every joint, which the company says is what lets its model learn from touch as well as vision. End-effector force sensitivity is published as under 0.1 N. The design references include IEC 60825-1 Class 1, which is a laser safety class. No camera, lidar or depth sensor model is published.

ROBIN is Roboligent's two-armed mobile robot, built to work alongside people on a factory or warehouse floor without a safety cage. Its factory-default configuration is two 7-degree-of-freedom arms on an omni-directional base with a motorised lifting column that matches human workstation heights, and everything in it is built by the same company: the soft actuators, the real-time force control and the physical AI. The actuators are compliant and force-controlled by construction rather than by software, and they measure force at every joint, which is what lets the robot sense contact and what lets its model learn from touch as well as vision. Rather than commanding a position and absorbing whatever force results, Robin commands force directly in a full-time closed loop, and the published end-effector force sensitivity is under 0.1 N. The company's central claim is safety by physics rather than by fencing: in its own comparative testing Robin generates roughly a tenth of the impact force of a conventional rigid arm under equivalent contact conditions. The published figures are a payload of 7 kg per arm and 14 kg dual arm, a maximum reach of 1,000 mm per arm, a pick-and-place height range from the floor to 2 m on the lifting column, a total weight of 105 kg on a 680 by 600 mm footprint, 6 to 12 hours of typical runtime depending on battery option, and 100,000 validation cycles with no measured degradation. Speed is deliberately limited in software to 0.6 m/s from a hardware capability of 1.2 m/s for operation around people. The standard end effector is a parallel gripper with a 120 mm stroke and swappable contact surfaces, with a five-finger hand available for dexterous work. It is designed against ISO 10218-1/-2:2025, ISO 3691-4, ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061 and IEC 60825-1 Class 1, with safety certification under way for each market, and sits on fleet software that maps, navigates, records demonstrations, trains policies and runs them, so new skills reach robots already in the field as software updates. The main application is logistics and fulfilment at live pick stations, with automotive and manufacturing work such as sequencing, kitting and line-side delivery, and electronics and semiconductor work such as chemical handling and precision placement. It is not sold outright: Robin is provided under a subscription service agreement in pilot, deploy and expand stages.

Application Scenarios

Logistics and fulfilment as the main application, working at live pick stations alongside people: tote and container handling between conveyors, racks and carts; item picking out of totes with mixed SKUs and varied geometry; heavy and irregular items including non-rigid shapes; station-to-station transport with autonomous navigation. Automotive and manufacturing: part sequencing from bin to rack including pigeonhole insertion; mechanical assembly steps on engine-block-class components; line-side delivery and replenishment across shared floor space; fitting tasks where force feedback decides success rather than vision. Electronics, display and semiconductor: chemical handling such as picking a bottle, opening a sealed cap and pouring powder to a target weight by the gram; precision placement where excessive grip force damages the part. Heavy and awkward payloads: lifting large boxes by friction with palms squeezed together, hugging items between both arms up to 20 kg, and pushing or pulling loads on and off an onboard lift cart.
