Origami Robotics
Bring Human Dexterity to Robots
Origami Robotics is a robotics hardware company focused on solving the dexterity problem in robotic systems. They argue that high-ratio gearboxes are a fundamental bottleneck in robotics, degrading force transparency, sim-to-real transfer, and durability. The company appears to be developing an alternative mechanical solution to bring human-level dexterity to robots.
Origami Robotics has developed an alternative to traditional high-ratio gearboxes that enables human-level dexterity in robots, though the specific mechanism is not fully detailed on the page.
