ClyCubit

Ask for the task.Not every joint.

CLY is developing Cubit, a prebuilt desktop robot arm for everyday people and professionals, with a target price below $1,000. Its software research explores how capable AI can connect with responsive action in the physical world.

The software research direction

Build for the moments work changes.

CLY is studying how robotics software can reduce avoidable waiting, stay useful as the workspace changes, and recover when work is interrupted.

An illustrative request

“Put the small parts into the tray.”
  1. Less waiting

    Measure the pauses a person experiences across a useful task.

  2. Continuity

    Study how a robot can respond as the task or workspace changes.

  3. Recovery

    Aim to keep useful work moving when a task is interrupted.

Intended use cases

Small jobs, right when they come up.

These examples show the kind of on-demand work Cly hopes to make easier.

  • Sort

    Parts at a workbench

    Separate small components into trays while a build is underway.

  • Place

    Lightweight items

    Move a small object to a clear, marked spot on the bench.

  • Repeat

    A familiar handoff

    Handle a small transfer when it comes up again during a project.

Cubit is in development. These examples illustrate intended use cases, not guaranteed performance; the supported task range still needs validation.

The product-design problem

Put a useful robot within reach.

Cubit brings the hardware and software research together in one prebuilt desktop product. It is designed for everyday people and professionals who want a practical robot for small physical tasks.

With a target price below $1,000, Cubit is the product CLY is developing as it studies more responsive robotics. The broader ambition is software that helps robots stay useful as real work changes.
