Embodied AI · General-Purpose Robotics

Human hands. Machine tireless. Meet ZH-1.

ZeroH designs general-purpose humanoid robots that work alongside people — learning tasks by watching, reasoning in real time, and helping wherever hands are needed, from the factory floor to the living room.

Cortex · v4 online The intelligence inside

One model.
Every task.

Cortex is our vision-language-action model — a single neural system that sees the world, understands plain-language intent, and turns it into precise physical motion. No hand-coded routines. It generalizes to tasks it has never seen.

01

Perceive

Fuses stereo vision, depth and touch into a live 3D understanding of any environment.

02

Reason

Breaks a spoken request into a plan, adapting on the fly when the world changes.

03

Act

Drives 40+ actuators at 200Hz for fluid, human-smooth manipulation.

The platform

It understands the world the way you do.

Human-shaped by design, so ZH-1 fits every space and tool built for people — no retrofitting your world to fit a machine.

🧠

Learns from demonstration

Show ZH-1 a task once and Cortex generalizes it — folding, sorting, assembling, restocking. Skills learned by one robot sync to the entire fleet overnight.

🖐️

Dexterous hands

Five-fingered end effectors with tactile sensing grip an egg or a power drill.

🛡️

Safe by design

Force-limited joints and 360° awareness keep people safe in shared spaces.

🏭

From warehouse to home

One platform, many jobs. Deploy ZH-1 on the line today and welcome it into the home tomorrow — the same body, upgraded by software.

Our mission

The people building the impossible.

We're a team of roboticists, AI researchers and engineers who've spent decades at the frontier of humanoids, reinforcement learning and hardware. We started ZeroH on a simple belief: labor should be a choice, not a limit.

Our name is our thesis — zero hours of work that has to be dangerous, dull or dirty. We're building the machines to take those hours back.
