    U.S.-based Fauna Robotics has developed Sprout, a small humanoid robot designed for research, household use, and social interaction rather than industrial work. It is lightweight, can walk and climb stairs on its own, and is built with soft materials for safer contact with people. Powered by NVIDIA hardware and multiple sensors, Sprout supports remote control and training, making it more suitable for developers and research labs.
