Robotics Center of Silicon Valley
The RC M1 mobile manipulator — Robotics Center's M1 platform with fully customizable mobile arms, built to spec for a select group of founding partners.
RC M1 · Mobile Manipulator
One mobile arms platform. The work of a dozen machines.
The RC M1 mobile manipulator from Robotics Center brings human dexterity to environments that normally require a rack of single-purpose robots. Here is what the M1 dual-arm platform does.
Highlights
Reaches every shelf
Vertical Reach
Works with two hands
Bimanual Manipulation
Moves itself
Autonomous Mobility
Thinks on board
Edge Intelligence
Why RC M1
The edge over everything else on the floor.
Most machinery ships locked, single-purpose, and weeks from running. The RC M1 mobile manipulator is the opposite — open mobile arms, ready out of the box, and shaped around you.
A robot built around your needs.
Little to no assembly
Ships fully assembled in one crate. Plug in and run.
Open ecosystem
Customize any layer — or run ours. You own the data.
Built for efficiency
One platform replaces a rack of single-purpose machines.
Built For
One platform. Every dexterous environment.
RC M1 adapts to the workflows that demand human-like reach, two-handed manipulation, and autonomous mobility.
Retail
Bimanual scanning, facing, and restock across full-height shelving — no fixed infrastructure or floor markers.
- Shelf scanning
- Restock & facing
- Inventory audits
