Fauna Robotics launches Sprout humanoid robot platform for human-robot coexistence scenarios

On January 27, 2026, Fauna Robotics launched Sprout, a humanoid robot platform positioned for human living spaces such as homes, schools, and offices, rather than factory environments. Sprout is 3.5 feet tall, lightweight, soft to the touch, and moves quietly, with no pinch points or sharp edges. It has an expressive face that can convey intent, with a focus on physical safety and social approachability.
