Built as its
own thing
newOrigin was founded in Pune to build machines for ground that was never designed for them. Independent, hardware-first, engineering-led.
Three reasons
it exists
We did not start a robotics company to make video demos. We started it because there is critical work in terrain where wheels fail.
Ground that defeats wheels
Over 70% of earth's landmass has no asphalt. Disasters, borders, mines, and forests require legged mobility that adapts to unmodelled surfaces in real time.
Runtime as foundation
Every robot needs balance, SLAM, sensor ingestion, and actuator drivers. By building APEX as a unified runtime, all our platforms share one hardened code base.
Capital discipline
Building real robotics requires focused execution, rapid field iterations, and direct customer deployment over bloated research labs.
The bare facts
No corporate fluff. Who we are and how we operate.
Who does what
Organized into three tightly coupled engineering disciplines with zero middle management.
Controls & Motion
Nonlinear MPC formulation, trajectory optimization, whole-body balance kernels, and gait adaptation controllers.
Actuation & Hardware
SEA spring tuning, planetary gearbox design, CFRP chassis layups, and thermal management architectures.
Intelligence & APEX
Edge model quantization, visual-inertial odometry pipelines, ROS 2 real-time drivers, and swarm task orchestration.
Three phases
to 2028
From single demo units to multi-platform commercial fleet orchestration.
Foundation
Hardware architecture and baseline autonomy runtime
Deployment
Customer pilots, aerial swarm integration, OEM SDK
Scale & Autonomy
Multi-platform swarm orchestration and logistics automation
