Calvin-40

Calvin-40 is an industrial humanoid robot developed by Wandercraft (founded 2012) in France. It is designed at human scale and built for manufacturing environments to perform physically demanding, ergonomically hazardous tasks. The robot was developed in just 40 days using Wandercraft’s exoskeleton-technology platform, leverages voice-operation and advanced vision/safety systems, and is developed in partnership with Renault Group for factory deployment.
