Humanoid robotics is known for metal structures, exposed joints and an industrial aesthetic that is beginning to change, this is taken very seriously. Fauna Robotics based in New York officially came out of anonymity to present the Sprout, a light, soft humanoid designed specifically for shared human environments, instead of prioritizing brute force and industrial robustness, the focus here is another, coexistence.
Many current humanoids are expensive, closed proprietary industrial systems or academic prototypes too fragile to operate near people. The sprout arises precisely to fill that gap, with 1 m high and just 23 kg it was intentionally designed to reduce kinetic energy and impact risks.
