About PNDbotics
PNDbotics builds the Adam humanoid family alongside Adam-U upper-body platforms, actuators and end-effector integrations. The company develops the gait planning, whole-body motion control and reinforcement-learning tools around the hardware, giving research teams access to both complete robots and their underlying control layers.
Its developer stack includes ROS 2 and DDS interfaces, Python and C++ SDKs, URDF and MuJoCo models, Foxglove visualisation and teleoperation through Meta Quest, PICO and motion-capture systems. Adam-U Ultra packages a vision-language-action pick-and-place workflow for automated recognition, grasping and boxing.
