About OriginMind

Developing quadruped inspection robots and software for mining.

Our focus

OriginMind develops quadruped inspection robots and OmindOS software. Our work draws on underground metal mine research, with a focus on mobility, sensing, inspection records and task validation.

The Q1 quadruped inspection platform is at the engineering prototype stage. We work with industry teams and integrators to assess site conditions and plan validation, alongside research into wheeled, dual-arm and educational platforms.

Research collaboration

ARTS Robotics

We collaborate with ARTS Robotics, the autonomous locomotion and manipulation laboratory at Shenzhen Technology University, on robotics research and field demonstrations.

Research spans robot mobility and manipulation, embodied intelligence, mapping, navigation and control.

We also develop platforms for robotics research and education.
