Need an extra hand?

DOGMA automates manufacturing and packaging processes with a biomimetic robotic hand that replicates the dexterity of the human hand.

The problem

Robots already do the easy 40%. The hard 60% still runs on human hands.

40% of factory tasks it can automate
automated today the 60% still done by hand

A parallel gripper just opens and closes — great for simple, rigid, repetitive parts, and stuck there.

What the other 60% looks like — hover to explore

  • Quality control Touch catches the defects a camera never sees.
  • Packaging Fragile, odd shapes that suction slips and jaws crush.
  • Deformable objects Fabric, cable and food that reshape on contact.
  • Assembly Peg-in-hole and connectors at micron tolerance.
  • Hygienic tasks Food, pharma and cleanrooms where touch is a risk.
  • Hazardous tasks Sharp, hot or toxic work a human shouldn't do.
Genesis Hand

An exact copy
of the human hand.

Genesis robotic hand: fingers with red tendons, a blue tactile sensor plate on the back, a forearm of braided McKibben muscles and a metal skeleton scanned from human bone.
Tendons
Tactile sensors
Scanned bones from real human anatomy
McKibben muscles

An anatomical replica with the same number of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments as a real human hand. Its skeleton is derived from 3D scans of real human bones.

  • 30 bones·44 muscles·110 ligaments
  • 27 DOF·human parity
McKibben actuation

No motors.
Half the cost.

75% of the cost of a traditional robotic arm comes from its electric motors. DOGMA replaces them with pneumatic McKibben muscles —braided mesh + pressure—, eliminating that cost. The result: our arm costs half as much as a traditional humanoid arm.

Traditional arm · direct-drive $8,000–20,000 BOM
75% electric motors
DOGMA · McKibben $4,171 BOM

≈ half the cost of a traditional humanoid · 3–5× cheaper

  • Free compliance no gearboxes
  • Air as actuator
  • Modular maintenance
McKibben actuator · pneumatic muscle
Braided mesh + pressure → contraction. No gears, no motors.

Business model

We rent outcomes,
not hardware.

DOGMA runs on a Robotics-as-a-Service model. Plants don't buy robots — they pay a flat monthly fee per arm and we deliver the result: hardware, software and maintenance, all included.

Per arm
$782 / month

24-month contracts · install-to-production in ~90 days

  • Hardware + software + maintenance, all included
  • McKibben muscle replacement every ~6 months — zero downtime for the customer
  • Operates 24/7, cheaper than a loaded operator wage ($800–1,200/mo in IMMEX plants)
  • Customers: mid-to-large IMMEX plants (100–2,000+ employees)

Hybrid contract structure

  1. Month 0 $4,692 upfront First 6 months paid in advance — covers our $4,171 BOM before the arm ships. The hardware self-finances.
  2. Months 7–24 $782 / month 18 months of recurring revenue, fully deployed and producing.
