Four deployments, four disciplines — legged robotics, surgical devices, industrial fleets, and dexterous manipulation research. Every one running Sentient hardware in the field, not the lab.
A legged platform built for search-and-recovery in terrain no wheeled robot survives. The brief: instant recovery torque on a joint no taller than 28mm, in temperatures from Arctic cold to desert heat.
Approach — Twelve SR-T580 axial-flux pancake motors per unit, paired with SR-A100 servos at the hip, deliver 62 N·m instantaneous torque per joint while keeping the leg assembly under 28mm at the knee.
A robotically-assisted minimally invasive instrument requiring micron-level tip positioning inside a shaft narrower than a pencil — with zero tolerance for backlash or thermal drift near tissue.
Approach — SR-L200 voice coil actuators drive the wrist joint with 0.5µm resolution; SR-M420 mini servos handle jaw articulation within a 14mm diameter shaft envelope.
A 400-unit autonomous mobile robot fleet running 24/7 across a warehouse network, requiring functional-safety-rated steering actuation that survives a decade of continuous duty.
Approach — Every unit ships with SR-E700 EtherCAT-integrated modules for steering and drive — SIL2/PLd Safe Torque Off built into a single 70×70mm board.
An open research platform packing 20 degrees of freedom into a human-scale hand envelope, built for labs pushing manipulation and grasping research beyond simple grippers.
Approach — SR-M420 mini servos at each knuckle paired with SR-H350 hollow-shaft harmonic drives at the wrist, routing tendon cabling cleanly through the joint axis.
