A family of dual-arm torso and mobile manipulation configurations.
Independent profile · Public-information analysis
THE PHASE VIEW
Evaluate the complete manipulation system
Separate the externally powered torso from the mobile variants. Arm joint count, base mobility and available workspace lead to different experiments and integration requirements.
PHASE’s assessment is based on public documentation. Treat advertised functions as claims to verify on the supplied configuration, with your task, environment and supervision requirements.
PHASE interpretation of public information. We have not tested this machine.

BUYING IN AUSTRALIA
Scope the purchase.
Not just the hardware.
Ask for an itemised Australian delivered quotation, written support terms, repair arrangements and battery transport conditions. PHASE does not verify a supplier’s authorisation merely by linking a manufacturer page.
Australian supply, supplier status and local support have not been independently verified. No verified Australian delivered price is published here.
Questions before you commit
- State whether you need a torso, mobile base or complete integrated system.
- Confirm reach, joint limits and end-effector compatibility.
- Test the control workflow for both arms before planning data collection.
