VESPER

AI ROBOTICS SOLUTIONS

The DIY humanoid companion program. You build it — we supply the genuine components, the staged engineering guides, and the support to get every gate right.

BUILD IN GATES, NOT LEAPS

Nobody starts with a walking humanoid. Our five-stage system takes you from a tabletop voice node to a full developer humanoid platform — every subsystem earning its place by passing a repeatable safety test.

STAGE 1

Voice

Tabletop conversational node. Listening, speaking, memory, privacy.

~$335 – $550
STAGE 2

Sight

Depth vision, expression, gaze. The robot starts to see.

~$950 – $2,150
STAGE 3

Wheels

Mapped navigation, docking, obstacle-aware mobility.

~$2,200 – $4,300
STAGE 4

Hands

One supervised low-force arm for simple tasks.

~$1,700 – $3,300
STAGE 5

Humanoid

Full developer platform. Only when every gate has passed.

$25k – $80k+

WHY VESPER

Most people who dream of a companion robot either buy a locked-down toy or drown in forum threads. We built the middle path.

Genuine components, sourced right

Every part in our catalog is drawn from the sources cited in our engineering guides — Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, Luxonis, Elephant Robotics, Clearpath, Unitree. No clones, no mystery vendors.

Safety is the architecture

A deterministic safety controller — not the language model — decides whether motion is allowed. E-stops, speed limits, and collision handling keep working even if the network fails.

Support at every gate

Stuck on calibration? Failing an acceptance test? Our support team works from the same guides you do, so the answer is never a guess.

Honest pricing

Catalog prices are published estimates: verified price anchor + 15%. We re-verify live price, stock, and compatibility with the source before you pay a cent. Shipping at cost.
