Bimanual Robots for Tasks Too Flexible for Fixed Automation
A stationary dual-arm robot that learns industrial tasks from demonstration. First application: end-of-line functional testing in automotive manufacturing.

Successful placements in a row — fully autonomous, uncut, real time.
From roughly 1 success in 10 to 10 in 10 in five weeks, with a π0.5 VLA policy trained on about 200 teleoperated demonstrations.

The Line Positions You Cannot Staff
European manufacturers cannot staff repetitive line positions — and the existing alternatives do not fit flexible tasks.
Three shifts, three operators
One station running three shifts means three operators — €70–200k per year in labor costs depending on the country. And these are the hardest roles to hire and keep staffed.
Fixed automation does not flex
Custom cells cannot handle product variety without costly re-tooling. Every product change means engineering, downtime, and capex.
General-purpose humanoids are not ready
Walking, do-anything humanoids are years away and expensive. Flexible line tasks need a solution that works today.
The Manipulation Station
A dual-arm robot on a fixed base; a motorized linear axis is on the roadmap. Parts come to the station — no legs, no navigation, by design: it keeps the robot affordable, reliable and certifiable today.
End-of-Line Testing
Device loading, drawer operation, and sorting by test result — functional testing at the end of the production line.
Flagship applicationKitting & Packing
Assemble kits and pack varied products with two coordinated arms — the tasks single-arm cells struggle with.
Sorting
Sort parts and products by type, orientation, or inspection result — guided by vision, not fixtures.
Machine Tending
Load and unload machines, presses, and test fixtures — steady cycle after cycle, shift after shift.
Use Cases
Stationary, repetitive handling work that has to be covered on every shift.
End-of-line functional testing
Every device passes three testers in sequence. Today one operator per shift walks between six testers: pick, scan, load, wait, sort into pass or reject.
With Prometheus on a linear rail between the testers, the robot loads them in sequence and sorts the results.
Fill-level inspection & sorting
On a bottling line an operator checks the fill level of every bottle by eye and pulls out bad fills by hand.
Prometheus stands on its tripod next to the conveyor: cameras check every bottle, an arm takes the rejects off the line.
One Robot, Many Repetitive Tasks
Pick, place, insert, rotate, sort, inspect. The end-effector and the base are chosen to fit the task: a two-finger gripper or custom tooling, on a tripod or a linear rail.
Trained by Demonstration, Not Programmed
Autonomous operation is trained per task during the pilot — through a data pipeline, not months of custom programming.
1 · Demonstrate
An operator teleoperates the robot through the task via VR — no robotics expertise required on your side.
2 · Train
Recorded demonstrations train VLA (vision-language-action) policies for that specific task and station.
3 · Run
The trained policy executes the task on the station and improves with every deployment.
4 · Compound
Every deployment feeds a proprietary manipulation dataset — each new task starts further ahead.
Why Manufacturers Choose Prometheus
The hard-to-staff line jobs stay covered — without rebuilding the line around a rigid cell.
Fills hard-to-staff jobs
Cover the repetitive, high-turnover tasks people don't want — without scaling headcount or fighting churn.
Cheaper than a custom cell
One flexible robot replaces bespoke fixed automation that's costly to design, build, and maintain.
Retrainable across tasks
A new product or task means new demonstrations, not new tooling. There is no fixed tooling to rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
It is designed for CE certification under ISO 10218, the standard for industrial robots. The deployment safety configuration — guarding, speed limits, and interlocks — is defined per site during pilot preparation.
Yes. The station works alongside your existing stations and workflows — parts come to the robot, so there is no line rebuild. Integration with your line control via API is scoped per site during pilot preparation.
An operator teleoperates the robot through the task to record demonstrations, and vision-language-action policies such as Pi0 and ACT are trained from those demos. Autonomous operation is trained per task during the pilot.
Prometheus is designed and manufactured in the European Union, which matters for European research labs and companies that care about supply-chain provenance, support, and EU data residency.
