Glide across the signature touch bars to bend pitch, swell volume, and shape tone in real time. Flexur T2 rewards curiosity from the first note, enabling a fluid expressiveness that string and wind players have always had, now in a synthesizer.

We partnered with .workshop to design the Flexur T2, a standalone Trautonium-inspired synthesizer built for expressive, immediately playable melodies.

Binbot isn’t trying to map a city. It works within a few mile radius of a retailer, short enough for a modest battery and simple routing. The constraint is the feature. A fleet that belongs to a Whole Foods, a Walgreens, or an Ace Hardware.

Sized for two standard grocery bags, it’s a standalone vessel that lives at the customer’s home between deliveries. Variants are purpose-built for grocery, hardware, and more — each with a pop of color signaling what’s arrived.

Most delivery robots are couriers — one bot, one package, one trip. Binbot is a network. Bins, bots, fulfillment partners, and drop locations operate as one platform. Decoupling the container from the carrier lets bots route independently of orders and absorb peak demand without idling.
