AD-01's two arms coordinate on tasks such as tidying a table: it perceives the scene, picks up a broom, separates the dustpan with both hands, sweeps up rubbish, empties it and resets. The company stresses the clip was recorded without teleoperation, pre-programming or editing.","INFIFORCE shows AD-01 working in a so-called lightning warehouse (a quick-commerce store-warehouse) and in a kitchen collaboration scenario. Its website gives no detailed specifications such as dimensions, weight or degrees of freedom."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["AD-01 runs an end-to-end Hyper-VLA model designed to think before acting.
