Feather Robotics has officially launched a wheeled humanoid robot priced at $29,990, supported by $7.6 million in funding. This funding round was led by Gradient, with contributions from Builder Capital, Geometry, Seed Innovation, and Virgo VC. The humanoid is designed for developers to create applications, following a year of customer field testing.
The significance of this launch lies in Feather's aim to provide affordable and reliable hardware that allows companies to focus on teaching robots practical tasks. Co-founder and CEO Hoa Mai emphasized the need for a common platform in the robotics industry, as many tasks cannot be automated by a few companies alone. The robot features two seven-degree-of-freedom arms, a torso with 600 millimeters of vertical travel, and an omnidirectional wheeled base.
Looking ahead, Feather's design philosophy prioritizes simplicity to enhance cost-effectiveness and reliability. With a maximum ground speed of 1.3 meters per second and a battery life of 10 hours, the humanoid is positioned to meet diverse workplace needs. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
