> The start-up Feather Robotics, based in East Palo Alto, California, has unveiled a two-armed humanoid on a wheeled base, Assembly Magazine reports.

Published on 2026-10-15

Feather Robotics supplies only the body of the robot. Figure, Tesla, Unitree, Agibot and 1X design both their humanoids and the artificial intelligence models that control them. Feather's customers will be able to run models from Nvidia, Skild or Physical Intelligence on the machine.

The robot is sold from 29,990 dollars, which puts it under the 30,000 dollar mark the start-up highlights.

Its wheeled base moves in any direction without having to turn, at up to 1.3 metres per second. It measures 500 by 510 millimetres on the floor, small enough to pass through a standard door.

Two 25 amp-hour batteries, which can be swapped without switching the robot off, give it 10 hours of battery life, according to the article.
