Sprout Humanoid Is the $50K HouseBot Designed to Be Useful, Expressive, and Deployable Today

A new class of humanoid robots is emerging. Smaller, more affordable, and built for real-world interaction rather than factory-scale brute force. Sprout Humanoid, developed by New York–based Fauna Robotics, fits squarely into that category.

At just 3.5 feet tall and weighing 22.7 kg (50 lbs), Sprout is intentionally compact. Instead of chasing human-scale height, Fauna Robotics focused on approachability, safety, and practicality. This size makes Sprout easier to deploy in homes, labs, offices, classrooms, and healthcare environments where full-size humanoids can feel intimidating or impractical.
