About OS3

OS3 develops semi-humanoid mobile robots and the learning systems that operate them. Its HALE platform combines two arms, a telescoping torso and an omnidirectional base, using actuators designed in-house. Cameras and LiDAR provide perception, while a cloud planner works with a local manipulation policy. The company designs and builds the hardware in San Francisco.

OS3 combines video pretraining with robot demonstrations and field experience to teach physical tasks. Its first operating application is hospitality, where OS3 runs deployments and uses the resulting task and recovery data to improve the system. It also offers developer units to teams building applications on the same platform. Hospitality services and developer hardware have separate commercial terms; the developer offer includes purchase or lease options and a refundable preorder deposit.
