Delta Intelligence’s new demo shows a humanoid handling records, making a bed and opening a dishwasher. But homes aren’t its first commercial target.
In written answers to Humanoids Daily, founder Xiaojian Ma says the near-term focus is energy and infrastructure—underground facilities, offshore sites and other harsh environments he calls “Mars on Earth.”
Delta wants to become an intelligence layer across robot brands. Its approach includes a camera-equipped head and a backpack containing compute and a battery, alongside work with partners on complete humanoids.
Ma also explained why Delta built its own D1 data-capture system: learning hand movements alone isn’t enough. Robots need examples of how people balance, kneel, bend and use their whole bodies.
The demo shows research progress. Reliable industrial deployment is the next test.
Introducing Δ₀ (Delta-0), our humanoid foundation model for whole-body loco-manipulation.
One generalist policy. 69 degrees of freedom. Everyday tasks at near-human speed—from making a bed to putting on a record.
Watch Δ₀ in action.
