Beyond Imagination Beomni
Beyond ImaginationTeleoperated wheeled humanoid with VR control for healthcare and space applications
About Beyond Imagination Beomni
Beomni features a friendly upper body with two arms (35-pound capacity each) mounted on wheels rather than legs. This design prioritizes practical manipulation over bipedal locomotion. Operators control Beomni using VR headsets and gloves, seeing through the robot's cameras and touching what it touches. The AI brain learns over time, progressing from full teleoperation to semi-autonomous and eventually autonomous operation. Lobes compartmentalize skills preventing sentience concerns. Beomni completed pilot studies in eldercare facilities performing temperature checks, delivery, and social interaction. NASA selected Beomni for space mission testing. The company targets $150,000 enterprise pricing (2024) with consumer models at $60,000 as production scales.
