Prototype Development Partnership Opportunities

Co-Development of Alpha Torso Brick for Humanoid Robotics Integration

​

Actutec is actively seeking strategic partners in the humanoid robotics industry to co-develop and test the Alpha Torso Brick — a direct battery-replacement module using 2–4 Power Pods plus an integrated Supercap Pod. This hybrid system delivers indefinite continuous runtime (months between automated helium top-ups) and full lithium-level peak power (15–30 kW bursts for dynamic movements), while fitting existing torso trays, mounting points, 48–54 V bus, and cooling interfaces.Ideal partners are OEMs scaling production pilots (e.g., warehouse, manufacturing, logistics applications) and seeking to eliminate battery swaps, extend shift uptime, reduce fire/thermal risks, and differentiate on cost-of-ownership.

 

Expected Partner Contributions

1. Mechanical & Systems Integration (Months 1–3)

   • Share detailed CAD/models of torso battery compartment, hardpoints, cooling channels, and power bus specifications.

   • Assign 2–3 mechanical/electrical engineers (20–40 hrs/week) for joint design of mounting flanges, thermal interfaces, wire harness routing, and Supercap Pod placement.

2. Alpha Prototype Build & Lab Validation (Months 3–6)

   • Build and assemble 3–5 alpha torso bricks (Power Pods, Supercap modules, and Control Pod).

   • Perform bench testing: continuous 22-hour cycles, simulated dynamic loads (walking, lifting, recovery), thermal mapping, acoustic/noise validation, and safety integration with existing force-control systems.

3. Field Testing & Iteration (Months 6–12)

   • Deploy alpha units on 5–10 robots in live pilot environments.

   • Collect real-world data on uptime, peak performance, top-up logistics, and operator feedback.

   • Iterate design based on findings (e.g., weight distribution, vibration damping).

4. Certification & Production Ramp Support

   • Collaborate on UL/IEC safety certification for robotic applications.

   • Provide input on manufacturability for 100–1,000 unit volumes.

Actutec Commitments

• Full technical documentation, simulation data.

• Exclusive or preferred IP licensing for humanoid embodiment.

• Remote engineering support throughout development.

• Mutual NDA and data-sharing framework.

Benefits to Partner

• First-mover advantage with truly untethered humanoids.

• Significant reduction in operational downtime and battery logistics.

• Premium differentiation in competitive pilots and RFPs.

• Shared IP upside in a rapidly growing sector.

Interested companies are invited to contact Actutec for an NDA and initial technical exchange. Early partners will shape the final production torso brick and secure priority supply.
