Overview

H.G. Skill Score (official): 4 (spec table)

Verification: Not verified

D9 is engineered to move at human pace through real buildings and execute dependable two-hand tasks. A 42-DOF chassis balances stability and agility for corridors, elevators, and stairs, while dual 7-DOF arms plus optional DH11 hands deliver repeatable grasps—from bin transfers to small-part handling. A visual-semantic nav stack builds 3D maps on the fly and plans routes around people and clutter, positioning D9 as a versatile platform for front- and back-of-house automation pilots.
