COBOTORY — FULL-CYCLE ROBOTICS R&D
Sensing and intelligencefor humanoid and mobile platforms
We build the perception layer and the brains for robots: tactile skin, edge vision and ROS 2 autonomy. The platform already drives, the skin already senses shear — ready to scale and to license.

A picks-and-shovels strategy: a component supplier at home, a technology licensor abroad — the IP travels without shipping hardware. The team grows out of the Robozum Academy network: a steady pipeline of engineers and a testbed for our methods.
Flagship — tactile skin
A skin that feels shear
Our silicone tactile skin measures temperature and tactile shear — slip detection during a grasp. It closes a recognized bottleneck in humanoid manipulation that pressure-only sensors cannot address.
Shear · Temperature
| Material | Silicone |
| Measures | Temperature + shear |
| Solves | Slip detection during grasping |
| Market | ~$4B (2025) → ~$8.4B (2030) |
| Model | Technology licensing for export |
Our primary export-licensable asset. Ships as IP — no hardware export, no sanctioned supply chains.
01 — Technology
Engineering core
Every node — from the low-level controller to the tactile sensor and the multimodal model — is designed and built in-house.
T-01
ROS 2 Stack
Fault-tolerant control architecture on ROS 2: from actuator drivers to high-level behavior planning.
T-02
Ackermann Steering · 4WS
Ackermann and 4WS steering — accurate trajectory following at speeds out of reach for differential platforms.
T-03
Multimodal AI
Multimodal AI models: the machine sees, understands context and decides for autonomous navigation in the real world.
T-04
Biomorphic kinematics
Complex kinematic models of anthropomorphic systems — the foundation of the humanoid transformer project.
Perception · brains
Edge perception on Axera AX650
Edge vision and tactile feedback in a single module: the robot sees, feels contact and reacts locally, no cloud. A full SDK with no NDA — the right to freely build and sell products on our platform.
- 01Edge vision + tactile feedback in one module
- 02Full SDK, no NDA — no legal barriers
- 03Reactive eyes: the robot looks at the person and toward the maneuver
