Robot Brief

Cinnamon 1 is a next-generation mass-produced bipedal humanoid robot developed by Japanese startup Donut Robotics. It is designed for various work environments and enhance human-robot interaction through advanced AI and gesture control capabilities. The robot embodies Donut Robotics’ patented technologies aimed at autonomous behavior via VLA and innovative “Silent Gesture Control” for hands-free operation in both noisy and quiet settings.

Use Cases

  • Autonomous task execution:
    Using integrated VLA AI to interpret surroundings and perform activities without constant human input.
  • Gesture-based control:
    Operators can command the robot through hand and finger movements instead of voice commands, useful in noisy or silent environments.
  • Human-robot interaction:
    Capable of engaging with humans in service, security, or industrial contexts.
  • Workforce substitution:
    Designed for roles traditionally done by humans (e.g., factory work, security monitoring).

Industries

  • Manufacturing & Factory Automation:
    Substitute humans in repetitive or hazardous factory roles.
  • Construction:
    Assist in construction environments with automated support tasks.
  • Security & Patrol:
    Potential to perform patrols and monitoring duties.
  • Service & Customer Interaction:
    Engage in customer service roles where interaction is required.

Intro

Cinnamon 1 is a bipedal humanoid robot first announced by Donut Robotics in 2025. It integrates proprietary hardware and software to enable autonomous behavior through Vision-Language-Action (VLA) AI, designed to understand visual, linguistic, and context cues to act appropriately. The robot also features Silent Gesture Control, letting operators command it using gestures rather than speech — helpful in noisy industrial settings or in environments where silence is required. Initially built on an OEM platform, Cinnamon 1 uses Donut Robotics’ custom AI and aims for future domestic manufacturing and adoption across industries such as construction, factories, and security.
