Kinematics Mini
Open, compact edge intelligence for labs, makers, and ROS 2 robots.
The software stack is public today. Hardware design files will be published after prototype validation.
Specifications
Current design targets for the assembled Mini box. Final values require prototype validation.
Bill of materials
Candidate prototype components, not a released or validated build BOM. Exact revisions may change.
Open hardware
Hardware release in preparation
We will publish original editable CAD, fabrication exports, a revisioned BOM, and test evidence together. No Kinematics Mini fabrication files are available yet.

Pre-order interest for an assembled Mini starts at $1,499. The public hardware repository tracks the original CAD, BOM, assembly, and validation work before any build-it-yourself release.
Prices and specifications are indicative and subject to change without notice. Pre-orders submitted via the contact form are non-binding expressions of interest until expressly accepted in writing. The Kinematics Mini is intended for integration into robotic systems by qualified developers and integrators — the buyer is responsible for safety commissioning, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance for the resulting machine.
