About Zeroth Robotics
Zeroth’s product range includes M1, a compact home companion that can switch between bipedal and wheeled movement, and W1, a four-wheel rover designed for outdoor and household interaction. M1 combines lidar, time-of-flight sensing, cameras and a 20-degree-of-freedom body within an open development platform.
The company is also developing the larger Jupiter humanoid for manipulation and service work. Its products connect consumer-facing robots with developer access, allowing applications to be built around mobility, interaction, companionship and household embodied-AI experiments.

- 2026-09-02 - Product Launch - Zeroth opens Bridge bookings and launches OpenBridge
Bridge stands 88 centimeters tall and weighs about 13 kilograms, with two-finger grippers and arms measuring 30–40 centimeters. Developers gain SDKs, motion-control APIs and motion-capture/VR interfaces; the Builder Program planned to shortlist 500 developers and offer 200 complimentary trial places.

At Zeroth Robotics’ 9 July Action 2026 developer event, the Dexmal Apex general-purpose robot was shown with two Hesai JT-series 3D lidars for 360-degree environmental sensing. The JT series provides 360-degree perception, 1 cm accuracy and multi-line 3D sensing for hazards such as ground changes, curbs, narrow boundaries and nearby people. Apex uses the paired lidars with microsecond-level sensor-and-actuator synchronization and a shadow mode that collects real-scene data for embodied-model training and iteration.
