About

About THEMIS

THEMIS is Westwood Robotics' full-size humanoid platform for locomotion and manipulation research. The robot combines bipedal movement with upper-body handling so researchers can study tasks that require balance while carrying, reaching for or positioning objects. Westwood has demonstrated navigation, object grasping and placement, housekeeping and hazardous-waste handling with the platform.

Its research role spans movement through human environments and manipulation while the body is in motion. This lets developers examine how locomotion and arm control interact during a task, including movement between the point of collection and the destination. Westwood supplies manuals, models and support resources through its robot and BEAR actuator ecosystem. THEMIS is offered through direct ordering, with configurations and development support selected for the research application.

Context

Market context

THEMIS is Westwood Robotics’ full-size humanoid platform, tied to the company’s BEAR actuator and AI-augmented humanoid control work.

  • Target environment: Humanoid robotics research, development and early industrial or service demonstrations where dynamic locomotion and manipulation matter.
  • Workflow context: The platform is used as a humanoid development surface for whole-body control, actuator-driven mobility and manipulation experiments.
  • Customer context: Robotics developers, researchers and integrators evaluating humanoid hardware and control systems.
  • Deployment model: Product/development platform from Westwood Robotics with public product material and company brochure support, but limited public deployment evidence.
  • Commercial maturity: Published product surface with official THEMIS page and Westwood robotics brochure, but not a broadly deployed commercial robot.
  • Adoption constraints: Adoption depends on access to the platform, integration support, safety validation and the maturity of humanoid control/application software.
  • Market position: Positioned as an agile full-size humanoid platform from a RoMeLa-linked team rather than a logistics-specific humanoid deployment.
  • Adjacent products: Adjacent systems include other full-size humanoid platforms, research humanoids and actuator-led humanoid development kits.
