Yogi
by Cartwheel Robotics
Launch Year: 2025
Yogi is a small, humanoid robot designed for companionship and emotional connection in everyday environments such as homes, hospitality, healthcare, and research. It features toddler-like proportions with a large head, rounded eyes, and soft, medical-grade silicone skin for gentle, safe interactions. Yogi is equipped with over 50 degrees of freedom for expressive gestures and realistic locomotion, powered by custom actuators and a hollow skeletal structure for cooling. Its AI-driven Motion Language Model enables real-time, emotionally resonant physical responses including natural language communication and full-body gestures. Yogi aims to be a joyful, emotionally intelligent companion rather than just a machine, blending soft robotics with trust-centered design for approachable, warm presence.
