EXPERIENCE

“What if a robot were here?” Find out on the spot

A catalogue or a video cannot show how big a robot is or how it feels to have it near. With Physical Sandbox, you can call a robot into the space you are in now.

Place one in this space

PLACE / MOVE / CONTROL

Place it, move it, touch it

PLACE

Place

CONTROL

Control

A robot with arms (UR5, SO-101, OpenArm, G1, TIAGo++) can be operated by moving its hand.

HOW TO USE

Just point and confirm

The flow is the same on every device. Only how you point and how you confirm differ.
