PHYBOT designed the C1 to support routine assistance tasks. It can navigate hallways, approach workstations, and interact with common tools or devices. Although it does not target heavy industrial automation, it still provides meaningful support in controlled environments. Therefore, teams can use it for demonstration projects, training, or workflow simulations.
The robot also serves as a platform for AI development. Researchers can integrate vision models, path-planning algorithms, and speech-based interaction systems. In addition, the C1 responds reliably to real-time commands, which helps developers validate their software on physical hardware rather than relying only on simulations. Consequently, project teams gain more accurate insights into system performance.
