Robot overview

MagicBot Gen1 brings bipedal movement, articulated arms and onboard perception into a full-size research and development platform. It gives teams scope to investigate how a humanoid moves through an environment and acts on the objects around it.

For a research lab, the first project could combine a defined movement with a simple handling task. For a commercial team, it could test whether a specific workflow is practical before committing to a wider pilot.

The Robot Group helps UK organisations assess Gen1 against the required reach, software access and operating conditions, then select a configuration and evaluation plan.

Key

Technical Breakthroughs

1. Full-size hardware for whole-body research

Gen1 stands approximately 174 cm tall and weighs around 70 kg. MagicLab lists 42 active degrees of freedom across the platform. Its articulated neck, waist, arms and legs provide a basis for investigating coordinated movement and whole-body control.

2. Articulated arms and configurable hands

Seven degrees of freedom in each arm support work on reach, grasping and object handling. Optional tactile dexterous hands extend the handling configuration. The right choice depends on the objects, grip requirements and level of control your project needs.

3. Perception for navigation and task development

3D LiDAR, depth cameras and fisheye cameras provide inputs for understanding the surrounding environment. Teams can use the supported navigation and sensor interfaces to investigate how perception informs movement, obstacle response and task execution.

4. Development interfaces in Python and C++

MagicLab publishes Gen1 SDK documentation covering high-level motion commands, low-level joint control, sensor access, audio and robot status. Python and C++ interfaces give developers routes into application programming and more detailed control work.

5. Onboard computing and connected operation

An eight-core CPU and onboard AI computing support processing on the robot. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 provide connectivity, with additional communication options dependent on configuration. We help establish the computing and network requirements around your intended software.

Deployment

+ Scalability

Start with one repeatable task and a clear measure of success. A useful first evaluation could record the reliability of a handling sequence or the accuracy of navigation along a defined route.

The Robot Group helps establish:

Required reach, object properties and hand configuration.
SDK access, control level and software responsibilities.
Perception, onboard computing and network needs.
Workspace, supervision and operating procedures.
Acceptance measures, documentation and manufacturer support.
