Adam Lite

Adam Lite is an accessible, modular humanoid platform from PNDbotics, designed to lower the barrier to entry for robotics education and research. As part of the broader Adam series, it emphasizes modularity and stability.

The platform is built around PNDbotics' proprietary PSA quasi-direct-drive actuators, which provide high torque and compliant motion without bulky gearboxes. This modular architecture allows users to easily swap components like sensor heads and grippers, making it an ideal testbed for developing custom robotics solutions.

Targeting the academic and developer communities, Adam Lite supports open-source SDKs and integrates seamlessly with NVIDIA Isaac Gym for reinforcement learning research. By offering a standardized, stable hardware platform, PNDbotics aims to accelerate the development of general-purpose humanoid behaviors.
