Meet Pandroid.

Accessible hardware for bringing intelligence to the physical world.

Starting from $4,199

Run any model, from the comfort of your terminal

Connect any model to your robot, and experiment with different harnesses to get the best performance.

Yours to hack

Every Pandroid is a full Linux machine. Configure the entire system, and connect the tools you already use.

Works with your agents.

You can connect to your Pandroid via SSH, which makes it just as easy for your agents to connect too.

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • OpenClaw
  • Self-hosted coding harness

Connect via SSH

One command gets you a shell on the robot, from your laptop or from your agent's sandbox.

$ pandroid ssh mypandroid

Runs Linux

Pandroid runs NixOS, and you can configure every part of the system, from Wi-Fi to motor control.

# /etc/nixos/pandroid.nix

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{

pandroid.motors.maxSpeed = "1.5m/s";

pandroid.cameras.enable = true;

pandroid.headlights.enable = true;

networking.wireless.enable = true;

services.openssh.enable = true;

}

Robot features

We designed our robot to be small and as simple as possible — every choice in service of reliability, affordability, and scale.

Rich visual input

Two head cameras and two hand cameras give Pandroid a detailed view of what it's doing and what's around it.

20,000+ hours

Continuous motor testing

Pandroid is built with high-reliability brushless motors.

1 kg

Continuous payload

at arm's length

3 kg

Peak payload

at arm's length

Safe for evals and reinforcement learning

Early robotics models will not be perfect. Pandroid is designed to be small and safe, so that mistakes don't pose a danger to humans or robots.

Easy to teleoperate.

You can teleoperate Pandroid with an Oculus Quest. It's easy to set up, and you can pick it up quickly.

Made in America

We design and manufacture all our robots in the United States. We think it's important to develop such an important technology ourselves, rather than outsourcing it.
