Amazon Acquires Fauna Robotics: Sprout Humanoid Robot Joins the Amazon Family
Amazon has purchased Fauna Robotics, the creators of the friendly humanoid robot, Sprout. The deal comes just weeks after Sprouts debut, targeting homes and schools. Sprout, priced at $50,000, is more of a software platform for researchers, but can perform light tasks like dancing and walking. Faunas CEO expressed excitement about joining Amazon, and the team will continue operating in New York. Amazon aims to integrate Sprouts social capabilities into everyday tech, following their unsuccessful bid for iRobot in 2024.
