Product overview
About PNDbotics Adam Lite
Adam Lite is the entry model in PNDbotics' Adam humanoid family. PNDbotics presents it as a platform for developers and research teams. Current official documentation lists it at 1.67 m and 60 kg, with 25 degrees of freedom: six per leg, three at the waist and five per arm.
PNDbotics lists a maximum walking speed of 1.5 m/s, a 1,172 Wh battery and knee and hip joints rated at about 340 NĀ·m. The actuators are electric quasi-direct-drive units. The hand is a simple spherical hand, and the documentation lists an Intel NUC12 computer for motion control but no perception sensors or separate AI computer. Control combines a self-developed whole-body controller with model-predictive control and is trained with NVIDIA Isaac Gym. PNDbotics says the robot comes with an SDK for low-level operation.
The official operation guide covers delivery, unboxing and use of a purchased robot, while the World Robot Conference describes the Adam family as having entered small-batch production and commercialization. Those sources support commercial status even though PNDbotics does not publish a price, payload or runtime for Adam Lite.
