THE HUMANOID FDE — FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERS
Orboh is the humanoid FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer). Our engineers embed at your site, narrow the task, fix the workflow, and implement a humanoid for that specific job. Every deployment becomes data that makes the next one faster and cheaper.
WHY FDE
Humanoid hardware, AI models, and robot OS are all reaching the market. But combining them does not make a robot work on a real site. Every site has its own layout, its own workflow, its own edge cases — each robot has to be finished on-site, one deployment at a time.
Autonomous driving reached the real world first through Waymo — by narrowing the environment and fixing the workflow. We apply the same playbook to humanoids: instead of waiting for one giant model to solve everything, our engineers narrow the task, fix the workflow, and implement.

HOW WE WORK — THE FDE MODEL
FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) is the model that made complex software work inside real organizations. We bring it to humanoid robots.
Our engineers work inside your site and your workflow, mapping tasks, constraints, and safety requirements where they actually happen. The people who build and the people who talk to you are the same.
We fix the workflow and finish the humanoid for that specific task — collecting demonstrations by teleoperation and training motor skills with imitation learning (ACT), iterating on the floor until the work is done reliably.
Robots run as a service, from implementation through operations and maintenance. Every deployment accumulates skills, failures, and procedures as data — making the next deployment faster and cheaper.
FIELD WORK — WHAT WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED
At a farm in Kagoshima, a humanoid autonomously grasps and harvests okra. The motor skill was trained from human demonstrations with imitation learning (ACT) — the robot acts on its own, without teleoperation.
Motor skills trained from human demonstrations.
Implemented at a working farm, not a lab.
Grasping and harvesting without teleoperation.
COMMERCIAL MODEL — ROBOT-AS-A-SERVICE
No hardware purchase. No maintenance overhead. No facility modification. Orboh robots operate in the same human-designed environments your workers already use — scaffolding, stairs, and passageways.
Pay per hour or per month. Predictable costs, zero upfront investment.
From requirements to implementation, operation, and maintenance — handled by our engineers.
Each deployment accumulates implementation data that makes the next one faster and cheaper.
Operates in human-designed environments without retrofitting.
