Continuum Line One
First full maglev deployment: 140 independent movers feeding robotic cells across a 60,000 ft² array in Reno, NV — no fixed conveyor, re-routing live around cell load and maintenance windows.
Overview
Motion is a component.
Segal Robotics builds the actuators, drives, sensors, and control stacks that move autonomous machines — and the complete systems they add up to. Humanoid assistants, construction and agricultural autonomy, warehouse automation, and maglev logistics. Engineered to deploy, not to demo.
Components come first. Six families, vertically integrated and built to the same tolerance whether they ship inside our own systems or yours — buy a joint, a drive, a sensor, or the whole stack, pre-integrated. One motion stack from a finger joint to a facility-scale maglev line.

Capabilities
ACTUATION
Integrated Actuators
Frameless motor, harmonic or cycloidal gearing, dual encoders, and drive electronics in one sealed joint. 0.5–1,500 Nm peak, back-drivable, closed-loop force control out of the box.
POWER
Servo Drives & Power
Field-oriented servo drives and distributed motor controllers, scaling from 24 V joint drives to 800 V traction inverters. EtherCAT / CAN-FD, 20 kHz current loop, functional-safety power architecture.
PROPRIOCEPTION
Force & Torque Sensing
Joint torque sensors, 6-axis force–torque modules, IMUs, and tactile skin — calibrated as a set, 0.1% full-scale repeatability, so a machine knows what it is touching and how hard.
EXTEROCEPTION
Perception Modules
Depth, LiDAR, and vision modules with on-module fusion — hardware-synced and calibrated to the machine frame, delivering a single clean world model. IP67, rated for site and field.
CONTROL
Motion Controllers & Runtime
Safety-rated edge compute running the Segal motion runtime — compiles a policy or trajectory into coordinated, force-aware torque across every joint. Sub-millisecond whole-body loop, SIL 2 / PLd.
CONVEYANCE
Maglev Movers & Linear Motion
Magnetic-levitation movers and linear motors for contactless in-facility conveyance. Independent movers on shared track, positioned to ± 10 µm — no wheels, belts, or particulate to shed.
Case Studies
Operator Pilot
Bimanual humanoids running kitting and machine-tending alongside staff on a live manufacturing line — Segal integrated actuators and whole-body force control, logged against real takt time.
Earthwork Alpha
Segal actuation and perception driving an additive-construction print gantry for Segal Development — survey to sealed shell with no operator in the cab. Cross-division on one motion stack.
Steward Trial
Reference architecture for autonomous heavy machinery: high-voltage drivetrain, field-rated perception, and fleet runtime targeting a thousand-hour service interval on full-season harvest duty.
Joint Catalog
The production component line shipping to outside builders — the same joints and drives inside our systems, available à la carte with full datasheets and the Segal runtime.
