Enchanted Tools.
Pepper's co-creator is back with a robot that rolls on a ball.
Enchanted Tools builds the Mirokaï (Miroki and Miroka), 1.23 m robots weighing about 29 kg, halfway between a logistics robot and a reception robot. They carry objects, guide visitors and hold conversations with an animated, anime-inspired face.
Why it matters
Explore the startup Mirokaï shows AI moving into machines that work among people, not only in closed warehouses. Standardising grasping instead of chasing a universal hand is a pragmatic engineering bet. Profitability across fleets of dozens of robots still needs to be proven.
