DEVANTHRO builds teleoperated-and-AI-assisted humanoid avatars called Robodies for elderly care and household support. Its product strategy combines human empathy and judgment with automation for routine chores, aiming to bring remote assistance into private homes and care organizations before full autonomy is mature enough to stand alone.
By early 2024, Devanthro said Robody had entered private-home pilots, combining teleoperation, AI assistance, and remote presence for chores and companionship. The company positioned these deployments as proof that Robodies could be integrated into everyday care settings.
DEVANTHRO is a Munich-based company developing "Robodies", humanoid robotic avatars controlled via VR for elderly care and household tasks. Their approach combines human empathy with AI, using teleoperation to train AI while providing immediate, 24/7 remote assistance for tasks like cleaning and laundry.
In May 2018, Devanthro was founded in Munich on the back of years of Roboy research and development. The team shifted from a student project into an R&D company focused on anthropomimetic robots and later care-oriented humanoid avatars.
In May 2023, Devanthro reframed its mission from tendon-driven humanoids for research toward care-focused humanoids for the home. That pivot became the foundation for the Robody Cares service model.
By early 2024, Devanthro said Robody had entered private-home pilots, combining teleoperation, AI assistance, and remote presence for chores and companionship. The company positioned these deployments as proof that Robodies could be integrated into everyday care settings.
