Josh Gruenstein outlines the morphology of Tudor's two primary robots: Cassie, a heavy-duty single-arm robot designed for pallet and box transport, and Sunny, an industrial semi-humanoid with wheels and higher payload capacity built for collaborative safety standards. He notes that Cassie and Sunny can address 80% to 90% of work inside manufacturing and logistics.
“Cassie is kind of, uh, a brute, right? Cassie is designed to do heavy duty work. It has a single arm and a lot of suction cups.”
“Sunny is kind of an industrial semi-humanoid, right? It's as if you said you were looking at a unitree and you were like, I need this robot to run for three to 10 years in a factory at human rates and reliability.”
