Sprout is a compact humanoid robot developed by Fauna Robotics, a robotics company based in New York City. Introduced in 2026, the platform is designed as an accessible development robot for embodied AI research, education, entertainment, retail, and home service applications. Sprout emphasizes safety, programmability, and expressive interaction, making it well suited for environments where robots work alongside people. The robot stands approximately 1.07 meters tall, weighs around 23 kilograms, and features 29 degrees of freedom, including articulated arms, compliant legs, a movable neck, and motorized eyebrows for expressive communication. Back-drivable actuators, soft exterior panels, and limited joint torque enable safe physical interaction, while an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin provides onboard AI computing. The perception system combines stereo cameras, time-of-flight sensors, a microphone array, and an expressive LED face, with a hot-swappable battery supporting extended operation.
Designed to perform a wide range of tasks across multiple environments.
