Soma

A human-scale presence. A new field of capability.

Soma is a proposed humanoid robotics platform for industrial support, remote technical work, and applied research.

Its development would focus on supervised movement and manipulation in environments designed for human access.

Discuss a Humanoid Application

Work within the spaces people use.

Tools, access points, and facility layouts often reflect human proportions and movement.

Soma’s proposed role is to explore how a humanoid platform could operate within those environments—supporting defined tasks while an operator supervises or controls the interaction.
