Agility A1: Humanoid Robotic Arm, Controlled by Your Motions

AEROFOX presents the Agility A1, a humanoid robotic arm engineered to translate human motion into precise, responsive robotic action. Built by CHUANJIU Co.,Ltd, the Agility A1 puts intuitive control and industrial-grade capability into a compact, human-friendly form factor. Whether you want teleoperation for hazardous environments, a teaching assistant on a production line, or a research platform for human-robot interaction, the Agility A1 adapts to your motions and interprets intent with low latency and high fidelity.

Design and Build: Humanoid form with industrial strength

The Agility A1 blends a humanoid kinematic structure with rugged engineering. It offers seven degrees of freedom (7-DoF) to emulate the natural range of a human arm, including a wrist capable of roll, pitch, and yaw. The arm is built from lightweight aluminum and composite materials for durability without compromising agility. Key physical specs include a useful reach up to 900 mm, a nominal payload of 3–5 kg depending on configuration, and repeatability on the order of 0.1 mm in controlled settings. Modular end-effectors — grippers, suction cups, precision tools, and a quick-change tool interface — make the A1 adaptable across tasks.

Motion Control & Gesture Recognition: Your motions become the robot’s motions

At the heart of Agility A1 is an intuitive motion-capture and interpretation suite. AEROFOX provides multiple control modalities so users can choose the level of fidelity and convenience they need:

- Wearable IMU glove: lightweight inertial sensors on fingers, wrist, and forearm capture orientation and motion in real time.

- Vision-based tracking: depth and RGB cameras capture full-arm poses and gestures for contactless control.

- EMG interface (optional): surface muscle sensors map muscle activity to control commands for fine manipulation or accessibility applications.

- Hybrid control: a fusion of inputs increases robustness and reduces drift.

The control pipeline runs on an onboard real-time controller, achieving end-to-end latency under 30 ms in typical configurations. Motion mapping supports direct mimicry (mirroring your arm), scaled mapping (amplify or compress movement), and filtered trajectories for smooth, high-precision tasks.

Performance and Capabilities: Precision, compliance, and feedback

Agility A1 is more than a mimicking device — it is designed for real work. A six-axis force-torque sensor at the wrist enables compliant control, safe human-robot interaction, and force-sensitive tasks such as assembly, sanding, or delicate pick-and-place. Torque-limited actuators and software-enforced speed thresholds ensure safe collaboration in shared workspaces. Key performance highlights:

- High-bandwidth servo control for responsive motion

- Force sensing and admittance control for compliant contact

- Repeatable precision for micromanufacturing and research

- Wireless operation and tethered modes for flexible deployment

Haptic feedback options and optional exoskeleton haptics provide users with a sense of interaction forces, enhancing teleoperation accuracy and operator intuition.

Applications and Use Cases: From factory floors to research labs

The Agility A1’s humanoid architecture and motion-driven control open many real-world applications:

- Collaborative manufacturing: let technicians demonstrate tasks and have the A1 reproduce them for small-batch production or quality inspection.

- Remote operation & hazardous environments: operators can intuitively control the A1 from a safe distance while maintaining natural control.

- Prosthetics and rehabilitation research: study human motor control or provide assistive devices that map intent to robotic limbs.

- Education and labs: teach robotics, control theory, and human-robot interaction with a platform that’s safe and easy to demonstrate.

- Creative industries: artists and designers can capture gestural input to create kinetic art or perform live robotic choreography.

Integration and Compatibility: Open, extensible, and enterprise-ready

AEROFOX designed Agility A1 to integrate into existing workflows. AEROFOX Studio provides a graphical interface for mapping gestures, calibrating sensors, and defining task sequences. Developers can access the A1 through a comprehensive SDK with Python and C++ APIs, ROS drivers for robotics ecosystems, and WebSocket endpoints for remote monitoring. Features include:
