over 60% cost of a humaniod robot goes into actuators.
Kiran ( cosinerobots ) is building affortable actuators.
this will be a game changer.
why no one is talking about them
Excited to see sophisticated robotics actuators being built in India.
While at Apricot, building industrial cleaning robots, sourcing reliable motors was one of the biggest challenges, and China seemed to be the only feasible option.
Big News! 🚨 We just got ELEVATED! 🚀
Cosine Robots has been selected for the Karnataka Govt's Elevate2025 grant program. Grateful for the validation and excited for the journey ahead.
Time to build! 🛠️💪
We are hiring a mechanical engineering intern, with conversion to full time after 2 months.
Need a working knowledge of electrical engineering and software.
WFO, 5 days a week, Bengaluru.
Pay is competitive.
If you are passionate about building robots for the real world, DM
FYI @cosinerobots we are starting to sell cycloidal actuators. Our prices are lower than Chinese alternatives pre-tariffs. We are also working actively on magnet free, separately-excited motor based actuators for robotics, releasing in a few months. DMs open if anyone is interested.
From our archives - A hand design we made a few months ago with 10 motors per hand, 2 per finger for curling and lateral movement. Linkage mechanism to curl 2 joints using one motor.
Not back-drivable though.
An update from us - As we grow close to selling our first products, we've changed our name from Electron Robots to Cosine Robots, and have incorporated in Bengaluru, India. Our mission remains the same, to make high quality robots accessible to all.
We are planning to offer cycloidal actuators like these for sale, these will be priced at around 25,000Rs (~ 300$). If you are interested, please consider adding an entry in this form - https://t.co/1pFBTQu13v
An update from us - We have been designing and building our own motors and actuators for our robot for the last few months. We will be showcasing some in the coming weeks.
We are also considering selling actuators directly to customers.
