Orca places strong emphasis on perception and intuitive interaction. Its layered sensor system gives it a clear view of its surroundings, so it can detect obstacles, identify objects, and adjust its movement quickly. Because of this, the robot works well in early industrial environments, training labs, and demonstration halls where conditions change often. Moreover, the system’s communication features help teams supervise it without difficulty.
The robot also supports a range of manipulation tasks. Its multi-joint arms and dexterous hands allow it to grasp, sort, or position items with reliable control. While Orca is not designed for heavy lifting, it handles accuracy-based actions well. Therefore, research teams, robotics programs, and automation developers can use it as a flexible platform for real-world trials.
