Over the last month, we have secretly tested it in three homes, now it’s finally time to show it to the world: Our newest generation of Robody – the first one, specifically designed for caring at home. Whenever we show our Robody, the question is “What can it do?”. And our new one can do a lot! Our operators have helped with daily tasks like preparing meals, administering pills, locating and fetching hard-to-find items around the house, and — most importantly — having hours of meaningful conversation with our test users. And all of that in their private homes! No staged, perfectly lit test environments with perfectly placed items on and height adjustable tables that are set to just the right height for the task. Actual, unmodified, private homes. We’ve conquered carpets, narrow hallways full of photos, round buttons that are almost impossible to grasp and many, many unexpected things. And we can confidently say, if you’ve seen one home, you’ve seen but one. We are today where most humanoid robot companies won’t be for years, because we embrace the operator as an essential element and not just a temporary nuisance of it all. So what is new? ▶︎ More precise, more dexterous, more capable In just six months, we completely redesigned Robody’s torso and arms. Upgraded hardware and control systems now allow operators to perform fine, two-handed tasks in real-world home environments. From fetching cheese from the fridge, getting a shirt from the closet, and dusting surfaces to playing board games like Rummy and Mühle (Nine Men’s Morris), Robody’s new capabilities are designed for life at home. ▶︎ A Robody that fits right in Now, you can customise Robody’s look to match your style, and it’s been a huge hit. Every person we lived with had a different idea of how Robody should look! But the real magic is what’s underneath. The new generation comes with a soft, flexible skin that allows it to safely move and interact in any home. ▶︎ Next-level immersive VR control Robody operators now see the world in twice the resolution, feel their surroundings with haptic feedback, and experience a host of user-friendly features that make controlling Robody smoother and more intuitive than ever. This is a step change to bring humanoids into homes. We’ve never been that proud of our amazing team!

Once again, we shattered the myth that technology can't connect with the elderly. Dr. Marianne Hege, resident of the Augustinum Munich-Neufriedenheim, spent a week with Robody by her side during our fourth and last pilot of the season. Each day, Robody helped with simple tasks, like getting started with her day and joining her for meals, while being teleoperated by our CEO Rafael Hostettler. While the nuances of caregiving are an entirely new field we are continuously learning about, through Robody we can make a significant impact in delivering continuous care, excelling in activities like board games, gymnastics exercises, and conversations about the daily newspaper. This pilot showed us that technology (when thoughtfully integrated ☝️) can become an essential part of daily life for our elderly! This journey is just getting started, and we can't wait to find even more ways to blend technology with authentic connections. 📌 Read the full story at https://lnkd.in/d4q75xPn Photo by our partner Augustinum Gruppe #HumanConnection #ElderlyCare #HumanoidRobots #TechForGood #Robotics

“Frau M.” got to play her favourite board game… but not in the way you’d expect! 😎 During our recent pilot, our 89-year-old tester sat down for a game of Nine Men's Morris, but this time, her opponent wasn’t in the room. Our CEO Rafael Hostettler teleoperated Robody to play with her, showing just how far technology can go in overcoming physical distances. At first glance, it might look like a simple game. But what’s happening behind the scenes is much more. Through Robody, Rafael could share a meaningful moment with “Frau M.” — all remotely! Presence, connection, and care are all vital ingredients for addressing a growing challenge in the care sector: loneliness and isolation among the elderly. And as this video shows, something as seemingly small as a board game can create a much larger impact. 🫶 If you could use a teleoperated robot for one task in your day, what would it be? 🤔 #BehindTheScenes #StartupLife #RobodyCares #FutureOfCare #CareTech #Robotics #HumanoidRobots #RoboticAvatars #TechInnovation #TechForGood

🤖☀️ What a summer! With four incredibly successful pilots behind us, our team has been working hard all summer to bring #RobodyCares closer to reality. To celebrate our achievements, we decided to unleash our creativity with a graffiti workshop! This was more than just a creative outlet: it served as a reminder of how teamwork fuels our success. It’s through this collaboration that we turn challenges into solutions and ideas into reality. 💌 Don't forget to join our community of innovators!

Behind every task, there’s a process, and for robots, the magic happens when they can handle all the steps. ☝️ Our recent home pilots highlighted this in action: Robody completed a full process in a real-world scenario (teleoperated, of course). As our CEO Rafael Hostettler said, there’s a significant difference between merely showcasing a task and executing it in full. It’s easy to film a robot moving an iron across clothes, but the true challenge is in managing the entire process — fetching the ironing board, plugging in the iron, heating it, and handling the clothes. And that’s what we’re focusing on at Devanthro. By developing humanoid robotic avatars that can assist in meaningful ways, we’re closing the gap between prototype and real-world solutions. If you believe in the future of care technology, give this post a ❤️ and show your support for Robody’s journey! #BehindTheScenes #StartupLife #RobodyCares #FutureOfCare #Innovation #Robotics #HumanoidRobots #TechInnovation #TechForGood

Devanthro's recipe for a more fulfilling home experience: ✨ A pinch of comfort ✨ A dash of technology ✨ A sprinkle of tele-nurse expertise ✨ Mix well together with a Robody In our latest pilot in West Munich, we caught a charming moment where Robody, operated by our CEO Rafael Hostettler, helped out in the kitchen. Rafael guided Robody to assist our tester, demonstrating how technology and care come together to improve daily life. And this is just the beginning! We can’t wait to see how we can further improve everyday living for our senior testers. 🦾 Keep following us for more updates and behind-the-scenes! #BehindTheScenes #StartupLife #RobodyCares #FutureOfCare #CareTech #Innovation #TelePresence #Robotics #HumanoidRobots #RoboticAvatars #TechInnovation #TechForGood

Contrary to what you may believe, AI is NOT a magic word for selling products. A recent study from Washington State University shows that using "artificial intelligence" in product descriptions can actually hurt sales. Why? The short answer is: it lowers emotional trust and triggers uncertainty. At Devanthro we 100% agree with these findings. That is why we focus on teleoperation, not automation, and why Robodies offer a rare opportunity to make care more human with technology.

This is us, a team that is shaking up the norm 💡🤩 At Devanthro, we are pioneers not just of robotics, but also of care technology. It is not many companies that can deliver the impact our Robodies can as we grow. In our lab, every upgrade to Robody brings us closer to a future where caring for elders it's easier and way more human. And trust us, we’re having a lot of fun while doing it! This summer has been wild. Our CTO 🇺🇦 Alona Kharchenko earned the prestigious Women TechEU grant funded by the European Union, and we’ve completed three pilot programs with amazing partners like aiutanda PflegeBienen and Diakoniezentrum Pirmasens. And we have another one already underway with Augustinum. But let’s be real — the tech is only half the story. What really makes Devanthro special is our team. So, if you’re wondering what it’s like to be part of this, why not ask us? Leave us a comment, we’d love to share more about how we're shaping the future of care. 💬 #Robody #DeepTech #FutureOfCare #RoboticAvatars #TechForGood #Devanthro
