Meet Sprout | A Humanoid Robotics Platform for the Real World

Jan 27, 2026

Meet Sprout.

Sprout is a new kind of robotics platform, designed to move out of the lab and into the real world, closer to the people who will shape what robots become next.

Built by the Fauna team in New York City, Sprout is a humanoid robot created with human spaces in mind. Every decision, from how it moves to how it interacts, comes from a belief that robots should feel approachable, understandable, and safe to be around.

Sprout is a foundation for builders, researchers, and developers. A robotics platform you can work with, experiment on, and extend without starting from scratch. It’s not a finished story. It’s an opening chapter.

What will you build with Sprout?

Sprout the friendly robot

Jan 28, 2026

Harry Goldstein, our Editor in Chief, went to meet Sprout from Fauna Robotics. He was skeptical at first, but Sprout won him over with its robotic charm. Sprout is a general-purpose robotics platform with many options for control. What would you use Sprout for?

What does it feel like to work with a humanoid robot in real environments?

Sprout is built to support long sessions of experimentation, interaction, and iteration in the same spaces people live and work. Its compact, lightweight humanoid form and compliant motion make it comfortable to operate around people, while still supporting full-body movement and manipulation.
With 29 degrees of freedom, integrated sensing, and whole-body control, Sprout enables locomotion, object interaction, and expressive behaviors that can be explored directly through hands-on use.

Developers can step into the robot through full-body VR, guide it through real spaces, and record synchronized motion and perception data along the way. Time spent with the robot turns into insight, data, and new ideas.
