Axol robot adds Rigid Mode to ease two-arm teleop data collection for rigid objects
ycombinator · x · 2026-09-11
Almond Robotics announced Rigid Mode for its Axol dual-arm robot. Teleoperating two arms on rigid objects is hard — operators must keep both hands aligned while preventing one arm from fighting or over-torquing the other. Rigid Mode handles that coordination automatically, making data collection for boxes, trays, totes and similar rigid objects much easier.
