RT Corp. Research & Development Robots Line Up

Founded at Tokyo Akihabara in 2005, RT Corporation designs, develops and commercializes AI & robots.
We have an extensive record in creating and providing platform robots for R&D purposes, from wheel type mobile robots to humanoid type manipulators, for education and research organizations.

You can find here our education and research purpose robots.

Our three qualities of the R&D robots offered by RT :

  1. Our line up goes from manipulators to humanoids.
  2. Provided with C++ library and ROS packages for application development, accelerating the environment preparations.
  3. Hardware information is made public*, enabling the repair and customization of the equipment using a 3D printer.
    *Only for research purposes. For commercial uses please consult with us..
