Yogi is a humanoid robot developed by Cartwheel Robotics, a robotics company based in United States. US humanoid with 36 DOF and 10 DOF dexterous hands. Features 4K depth + stereo vision, LLM integration, and IP42 protection for workplace assistance.
Yogi by Cartwheel Robotics is a distinctively designed humanoid companion focused on emotional intelligence and approachability. Breaking away from industrial aesthetics, Yogi features 'toddler proportions' and soft, medical-grade silicone skin to encourage natural and safe social interaction.
Yogi's core technology is its Motion Language Model (MLM), which translates text and user intent into fluid, emotionally resonant body language. This allows the robot to communicate mood and empathy through gesture, not just voice. It is designed for service roles in healthcare and hospitality, as well as home companionship.
The robot runs on a swappable battery system and uses high-torque actuators with built-in safety features. Cartwheel Robotics takes a full-stack approach, developing the hardware, AI, and behavioral logic to create a cohesive 'character' that feels more like a living being than a machine.
