Spaceo Pro

Spaceo Pro, developed by Muks Robotics in Pune, India, is a pioneering industrial humanoid robot launched in Generation 1 on March 3, 2025, at the India Today Conclave. Founded by Dr. Mukesh Bangar, a self-taught AI and robotics expert with foundational papers on cognitive models since 2013, Muks Robotics aims to deploy fully autonomous humanoids for Earth-based labor shortages and extraterrestrial exploration. Spaceo Pro blends robust mechanical design with advanced AI to handle heavy, precision tasks in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, airports, and warehouses. Architecturally, Spaceo Pro features a wheeled chassis for efficient intra-site mobility at up to 2 m/s (7.2 km/h), with no walking capability noted. It stands 167 cm tall in neutral position, adjustable up to 210 cm for reaching high racks or low benches. Weighing 65 kg including battery, it supports a remarkable 200 kg overall payload—ideal for palletizing 50 kg crates or guiding AGVs—while each 7-DOF arm lifts 10 kg with a 580 mm reach (sans gripper). Total 20 DoF includes 7 DoF hands with 10 fingers and a 1 DoF dynamic waist delivering 66 N·m torque. Precision is achieved via electric servo actuators, harmonic drive gearboxes, and dual encoders, ensuring ±2 mm movement accuracy. The reinforced torso enhances durability for industrial environments. The sensory suite enables immersive perception: Intel RealSense D435i depth camera for 3D vision, 4D LiDAR for ultra-wide-angle semantic mapping and obstacle avoidance, a 4-microphone array with noise/echo cancellation for voice input, and 5W stereo speakers for output. Computing power comprises an Intel Core i5 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, and NVIDIA Ampere GPU delivering 275 TOPS (INT8) for real-time AI inference. At its core is FusionMax Omni-Modal AI (also termed Omni-VLA), a proprietary 2B-parameter model optimized on real-world data. This fuses vision, audio, language, and action modalities for end-to-end physical intelligence. Capabilities include 'Hey Spaceo' wake word activation, autonomous pick-and-place via AI motion planning, multilingual conversation, real-time task learning/planning, teleoperation, and offline operation with OTA updates. The custom in-house OS runs on WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, with autonomous battery docking for 4+ hours runtime per charge. Real-world deployments underscore its maturity. Early pilots in manufacturing and logistics demonstrate throughput improvements, reduced injury risks, and rapid ROI. A notable June 2025 pilot with Emirates Airlines at ForsaTEK Dubai tested baggage handling, evolving to Gen 2 trials by August 2025 for autonomous passenger baggage management. Clients include Indian Railways (2023 vision robot), Tata Motors, Indian Army (2025), and international partners from Finland. Priced at $60,000, Spaceo Pro scores 4/10 on Humanoid.Guide for navigation/manipulation, positioning it as India's first production-ready humanoid for scalable automation amid global robotics trends.
