About
About Zerith Z1
Zerith Z1 is a bipedal humanoid for motion-control research, interaction and application development. Its movement system supports walking, running, recovery from falls and customised dance routines. Stereo vision and a microphone array provide perception, while compliant exterior materials cover areas likely to contact people. A removable battery supports repeated development sessions.
The interaction software supports voice customisation, offline knowledge retrieval and connections to several language models. Zerith provides lower-level control interfaces, arm-control examples and learning examples for developers working on locomotion and manipulation. A dedicated humanoid dataset and data-collection tools support customisation and training. The company targets research, education, commercial interaction, factory applications and household assistance with the platform, alongside separate wheeled robots in its H series.
