US-Made Parts for Robots
Hi, I’m Paul the Founder of HLabs and we’re making what you need to get a robot to move.
TL;DR
HLabs is an ecosystem of US-made plug and play parts to build robots; an Nvidia Jetson companion board, 2-channel wireless module, FOC control boards, motors and actuators. With HLabs no time is wasted getting things to work. You can focus on what matters. Our launch sale is live right now at hlaboratories.com
Most robots look like college projects
Right now to make a robot you have to stitch together a bunch of different PCBs with jumper cables and wait weeks for blackbox actuators to arrive from China.
You spend lots of time debugging why your CAN bus isn’t working, why every actuator performs differently, and meanwhile your wires keep coming loose.
You say that you’ll design your own PCBs and controllers to bring everything together but you keep putting it back because something else more important keeps coming up.
These problems plague bigger companies too and add a huge amount of additional time to projects. On top of this there’s huge unpredictability in geopolitics and supply chains when sourcing from overseas.
It doesn’t have to be this way
HLabs is making a plug-and-play ecosystem for everything that you need to build a robot. We’re starting with:
- RB1 - A robot main board powered by an Nvidia Jetson. This handles power distribution, compute, and a bunch more.
- WM1 - 2-channel wireless radio for sending video/data making the RB1 remotely controllable over USB-C.
- M1 - A pancake motor.
- ACB3 - An FOC control board with matching connectors to the RB1.
- A1/A1m - A planetary/cycloidal actuator powered by the ACB3.
These products abstract away all of the complexity in designing and controlling a robot's electronics. Complicated communication interfaces are replaced with simple python libraries. You can now focus on getting your robot to walk instead of turning on reliably.
Our focus is on working with startups building medium to large size robots like quadrupeds, humanoids, and robot arms!
**There’s a launch sale on right now!**
Everything is up for preorder right now with the electronics shipping this summer, and the M1 shipping in the next 1-2 months. You can place an order on our store here while the sale last for this week:
Thanks!
