01

Head assembly

Two primary eye sensors, side sensors, top antenna, speaker vent, and expressive head movement.

02

Octopus grip

Multi-jointed fingers give Bob a strong, precise grip for delicate repairs and heavy farm work.

03

Extension system

Telescopic leg actuators and torso column raise his working height from 5 ft 8 in to 6 ft 5 in.

04

Working gait

A steady, practical stride built for real work, uneven ground, and the occasional recurring leg tick.

01

The power vampire

Bob can draw energy from almost anything with a useful electrical potential. This is practical, occasionally alarming, and one reason nobody leaves him alone with unfamiliar equipment.

02

Why Bob is different

Humanoid robots disappeared from ordinary life decades ago. Bob is not a polished consumer machine; he is an old industrial platform whose history is visible in every repaired panel.

03

Bob's rules

Bob does not lie easily. Bob answers the question asked. This is frequently not helpful. Bob does not describe himself as emotional. Evidence suggests otherwise.
