Universities & Research

Native robotics research, starting from real hardware.

Abra Robotics provides universities, labs and research centers with the most advanced robotic platforms available today: programmable humanoids, autonomous quadrupeds, force-sensitive research arms and 2/3/5-finger manipulators. Open SDKs, technical documentation, specialized training programs and programming support included.

01 · Programmable platforms

Open platforms. Program at any level.

All platforms we carry expose complete SDKs: C++, Python, ROS2. From high-level to low-level control, every layer is accessible. EDU and research versions are the only choice for those who want to develop their own software: base models do not support secondary development.
