Alan And Alena

Robomodix introduces the Hard Core series of social robots. Alan and Alena represent 5 years of research and development. They are designed to utilize emerging technologies such as deep learning AI, object recognition, facial recognition, and motion tracking. Our robots are also fully compatible with today's smart speaker devices like Google's Home, Amazon's Alexa and even Apple's Siri.

Alan and Alena are human scale robot heads and shoulders. They contain 6 axis of motion provided by heavy duty robot Dynamixels and high efficiency PWM servo motors. The robots are built on an aluminum frame for strength and lightweight mobility. The high temperature epoxy shells are designed to be resistant to higher temperature environments. Skins are manufactured with platinum silicone for longevity and endurance. The magnetic and modular design allow for future upgrades.

Robomodix

Robomodix focuses on the social impacts of robots with faces. How will our ongoing contact with humanoid robots impact our future interactions with them? Alan and Alena are the perfect platforms to explore these face to face interactions, a conduit for human robotic interactions or HRI. Our robots ensure engagement with people by their futuristic sci fi appearance and their cutting edge technology.

Our robot Alan, has recently been installed in the Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Centre in Kuwait. The installation provides visitors the opportunity to explore deep machine learning through object recognition.

C.E.O. and Founder

Robomodix was founded in 2015 by Will Huff, a veteran of effects in the motion picture industry. Fueled by the evolving AI technologies and today’s 3D design and printing tools, Will set out to build a better robot by fusing art with technology. Robomodix continues to push the boundaries in human robotic interactions and he hopes that one day his robots will be a part of everyday society.

As for the sci-fi dramatization about robots taking over the world–not anytime soon … robot motors use a lot of power, and can usually only last about 30 min to 2 hr before needing to be recharged!
