Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about this robot
Q1. What is Robody, and what problem is it designed to solve?
Robody is a humanoid robotic body from Munich-based Devanthro. A remote human operator drives it, with AI help, to give older adults 24/7 support, companionship and help around the home, addressing the shortage of care workers and the problem of loneliness.
Q2. What are the main capabilities and key features of Robody?
Operators use VR to see through the robot's cameras and control both hands with one-to-one mapping and haptic feedback. Robody has a soft, fully enclosed skin, can prepare meals, fetch items, hand over medication, dust and play games, and charges itself at a dock.
Q3. Who is Robody built for, and which industries can benefit from it?
It is built for seniors who want to stay in their own homes, care homes and care providers, and for family members or professional caregivers who operate it remotely.
Q4. Is Robody a commercial product or still a research prototype?
It is at the pilot stage. Devanthro tested the latest generation in private homes before announcing it, and it is not yet a mass-market product.
Q5. Is Robody currently available for purchase, and when is it expected to ship?
It is not sold as an ordinary retail product. Devanthro offers Robody through pilot programs and a care-service model, so interested parties should contact the company.
Q6. How does Robody actually work in real-world environments?
A trained operator wears a VR headset, watches the robot's camera feed and moves their hands to control Robody's arms. Onboard AI handles navigation and routine skills, and every operation also teaches the shared AI so all Robodies improve.
Q7. When was Robody announced or officially launched?
Devanthro unveiled the latest Robody generation in autumn 2024 and showcased it in a November 2024 video. The company was founded in 2018 building on the Roboy project.
Q8. How is Robody different from other robots in the same category?
Unlike fully autonomous humanoids, Robody keeps a human in the loop for empathy and judgment. Its soft skin, enclosed joints and home-safe design set it apart from industrial robots.
Q9. Does Robody require additional development or customization after purchase?
Yes. Appearance can be customized, and care providers need operator onboarding, home setup and integration with their care workflows.
Q10. What is the future roadmap or planned upgrades for Robody?
Devanthro plans to expand home and care pilots and gradually increase autonomy as remote operations train the AI. A dated public roadmap has not been released.
