Give Robots New Ways to Move, Respond, and Interact
A robotic platform provides the hardware. Control systems and configured software capabilities determine how people interact with it, guide its movements, and use it for specific tasks.
Futurology offers configured robotic control solutions for compatible Unitree humanoid platforms, including VR-based teleoperation, voice and web command interfaces, and navigation capabilities. These solutions make existing robotic functions accessible through defined control workflows for research, education, demonstrations, and selected applications.
One Platform. Different Ways to Control It.
The way a robot is controlled shapes how it can be used. Direct human control, mapped body movements, voice commands, and configured navigation each support different types of interaction and operation. Futurology's robotics control portfolio brings together solutions designed around these distinct capabilities.
Avatar Teleoperation — Full-Body
Transfer Human Movement to a Humanoid Robot. VR-based teleoperation maps an operator's body movements to a compatible humanoid robot, enabling supervised control of upper- and lower-body movements.
The configured setup combines VR hardware, motion tracking, and robotic control workflows. It can support robotics research, educational programs, demonstrations, and controlled testing scenarios, including recording and reviewing teleoperation sessions.

Avatar Teleoperation — Upper-Body
Control Robotic Arms and Hands Through VR. Upper-body teleoperation maps an operator's movements to compatible humanoid robot arms and hands, supporting controlled manipulation and human-robot interaction workflows.
It provides a focused alternative to full-body teleoperation for projects involving arm movement, grasping, demonstrations, training, and research. Available functions depend on the robot's configuration and compatible manipulation hardware.

Custom Voice Control
Interact With Robots Through Voice and Web Commands. Custom Voice Control provides a structured interface for operating compatible robots through spoken commands, typed input, or push-to-talk workflows.
Commands are mapped to predefined, approved tasks rather than unrestricted natural-language actions. Authorized-user confirmation and activity logging help support controlled operation, making the setup relevant to demonstrations, education, and selected human-robot interaction scenarios.

Autonomous Locomotion
Configure Navigation Within Defined Environments. Autonomous Locomotion is designed to support navigation in predefined indoor environments through mapped routes, waypoints, named destinations, and configured movement workflows.
The setup is intended to help compatible robotic platforms navigate validated spaces, with capabilities such as obstacle avoidance in mapped environments, patrol routes, and supervised follow-me scenarios.

Where Robotic Control Capabilities Can Be Used
Research & Development
Configured control interfaces give research teams a way to investigate robot movement, manipulation, human-robot interaction, and control behavior using physical robotic platforms.
Education & Technical Training
VR-based teleoperation and structured control interfaces can support hands-on learning, supervised demonstrations, and practical exploration of robotic systems.
Demonstrations & Interactive Experiences
Voice commands and teleoperation can make robotic demonstrations more interactive, allowing operators to control defined actions and present robotic capabilities in a structured environment.
Navigation & Controlled Operations
Configured navigation workflows can support experiments involving movement through mapped indoor spaces, waypoint navigation, patrol routines, and supervised operation, where supported by the selected platform.
The suitability of each application depends on the robot model, available hardware, software compatibility, environment, and operating requirements.
What Determines the Right Control Setup?
Match the Interface to the Task
Different control solutions serve different purposes. The right choice depends on the type of interaction required, the robot's capabilities, and the environment in which it will operate.
Control Objective
Full-body movement, upper-body manipulation, voice commands, and autonomous navigation require different configurations. Defining the intended task helps identify the appropriate solution.
Robot Compatibility
Available capabilities depend on the robot model, firmware, configuration, and supported interfaces. Compatibility should be confirmed before selecting a setup.
Required Hardware
Teleoperation may require compatible VR equipment and motion-tracking hardware. Other configurations may depend on specific sensors, controllers, or networking equipment.
Software & Interface Requirements
FAQ
1
Does Futurology develop custom software for robots?
Futurology focuses on configuring robotic platforms, supported software capabilities, control interfaces, and operational workflows. The core offering is not bespoke robotic software development from scratch.
2
What is the difference between full-body and upper-body teleoperation?
Full-body teleoperation maps an operator's body movements to compatible humanoid robot movements, including upper- and lower-body motion. Upper-body teleoperation focuses on controlling robot arms and hands for manipulation and interaction tasks.
3
Which robots are compatible with these solutions?
Compatibility depends on the specific solution and robot configuration. The listed teleoperation and control products are designed for compatible Unitree humanoid platforms, but the exact model and hardware requirements should be confirmed before ordering.
4
Is the robot included in the configuration price?
No. The compatible robotic platform is not included in the listed Avatar Teleoperation or other control-configuration prices unless explicitly stated on the relevant product page.
5
Can robots be controlled remotely over the internet?
Some teleoperation configurations can support internet-based remote operation after network qualification. Feasibility depends on latency, bandwidth, connection stability, the selected platform, and the task. Operation must remain within the system's safety requirements.
6
Does Custom Voice Control understand unrestricted natural-language commands?
No. The configured interface maps user inputs to predefined tasks and requires confirmation from an authorized user before execution. It is designed for controlled operation rather than unrestricted conversational control.
7
Is Autonomous Locomotion available now?
Autonomous Locomotion is currently listed as coming soon. Its availability and compatibility should be confirmed before planning a deployment.
