Mundane builds force-feedback robots to give tradespeople a remote second body for dangerous work

Mundane says its robots use full-arm force feedback and proprioception to close what it calls the "embodiment gap" between a robot's actions and its operator's senses. When the robot touches an obstacle, the operator feels it and their arm stops; movements map directly with no joysticks. The company positions this as amplifying skilled labor rather than replacing it, keeping humans in control even as autonomy improves. It contrasts its approach with rivals focused on removing humans from the loop, and links to a longer technical writeup.
