Orbit Actuator

The Actuator Redefining Robotics

The Orbit Actuator is the world's first fully-integrated, spherical 3-DoF actuator. Compact. Powerful. Designed to replace bulky serial motor stacks in 70-80% of robots on Earth.

3-DoF

Pan, tilt, and roll in a single joint

70-80%

Target replacement range for 3-axis joints

Through-hole

Clean cable and tube routing

Problem

Serial motor stacks are holding robotics back.

Traditional robotic systems struggle with precise orbital positioning, limiting their applications in critical industries where accuracy is paramount.

The Current State: Serial Motor Stacks

01
  • Used in humanoids, robotic arms, manipulators, and more
  • Achieve 3-axis motion by stacking three motors orthogonally
  • Each motor carries the weight and torque demands of the others above it
  • Creates complex, interdependent motion systems

Industry Impact

02
  • Bulky designs that waste space and limit mobility
  • Complex kinematics requiring advanced control software
  • Suboptimal wiring prone to tangling and failure
  • Inefficient energy use due to stacked mass and heat buildup
  • High costs in development, manufacturing, and maintenance

Solution

A compact joint architecture for physical AI.

The Orbit Actuator combines the duties of multiple motors into a powerful joint, delivering unprecedented precision and efficiency in a compact, integrated package.
