The factory whererobots learnto be gentle

We build household humanoids inside a hill. Before one of them meets a person, it spends 900 hours learning how little force a good day needs.

Seventy-four percent of the hall is underground.

The rock holds the training floor at 11 °C through a Kvitberg winter. Robots calibrate on a surface that never swells, never shrinks and never surprises them.

bodies in training. None of them shipped yet.

Every unit stands its shifts in the glass hall: reaching, folding, failing, trying again. We ship when the hands are ready, not when the quarter ends.

Gentle is a spec.

An eggshell gives way near 30 newtons. A Halden hand is certified to lower one, let go, and lift it again at under 2.5, forty thousand times in a row.

Halden builds the hands. Wren is how you live with them.

Every Halden body ships paired with Wren, the app that shows you what it sees, takes a job in plain speech, and learns a routine after you show it once.
