SUMMARY

Fauna, a New York-based startup founded by veterans from Meta, Google DeepMind, and other tech firms, today launched Sprout, a 3.5-foot-tall humanoid robot priced at $50,000 and built specifically for safe operation in human-centric environments such as hotels, offices, entertainment venues, and homes.

Unlike most competitors—including Tesla, Figure AI, Agility Robotics, and 1X—that target industrial tasks in factories and warehouses, Fauna focuses on service sectors facing labor shortages in hospitality, healthcare, and education. The company notes that over 80% of the workforce is in services rather than manufacturing.
