Robot Brief

Yogi is the flagship humanoid robot from Cartwheel Robotics, developed with the primary objective of serving as an emotionally intelligent companion and capable assistant in everyday environments, such as homes and hospitality venues. Unlike many contemporary humanoids focused on industrial labor, Yogi prioritizes social interaction, trust, and approachability. Physically, Yogi is a small, bipedal humanoid with proportions and a soft, chubby, toddler-like appearance, including a large head and rounded features, designed to be friendly and non-threatening. Its exterior is made from soft, medical-grade silicone skin for safe, gentle interaction, and its movements are driven by Cartwheel's proprietary Motion Language Model (MLM), which translates language or text prompts into fluid, emotionally resonant, full-body gestures.

Use Cases

  • Companionship and Social Interaction:
    Yogi is designed to be a personal companion, using expressive AI, lifelike eyes, and natural gestures to communicate with and connect with humans on an emotional level.
  • Light Household Assistance:
    It is intended to be a capable assistant for simple, non-intensive tasks in home and workplace environments.
  • Embodied AI Platform:
    It serves as a full-stack platform integrating hardware, AI models, and motion systems to advance robotics and AI research, particularly in the domain of emotionally intelligent humanoids.
  • Expressive Communication:
    Utilizes a proprietary Motion Language Model (MLM) to generate real-time, fluid, and personalized body language and movements from text or voice commands, allowing it to convey mood and intent beyond just verbal communication.

Industries

  • Hospitality:
    Can be used to greet and interact with guests, bringing a warm, welcoming, and unique atmosphere to hotels, resorts, or entertainment venues.
  • Healthcare:
    Exploration into providing gentle assistance, timely reminders, or companionship in hospitals and elderly care settings to keep patients/residents healthy and engaged.
  • Home/Consumer:
    Primarily targeted for use in homes to serve as a companion, emotional presence, and simple assistant for daily routines and light tasks.
  • Research & Development (R&D):
    The platform is being offered to universities and research institutions as a versatile tool for advancing robotics, AI, and human-robot interaction studies.
