What is in the crate
6 included|4 not included
Dexterous hands included
Ships with robust, durable 1 DoF grippers (rubberized interior) included in the base price. These are simple open/close grippers, not dexterous multi-finger hands. Arms give floor-to-countertop reach. Fauna also references modular/swappable end-effectors and tool changers, but the standard grippers come with the robot.

Reality check
This is a lightweight, gentle developer platform, not a worker: the 1 DoF grippers and ~2 kg-class payload mean light interaction (toys, gestures, guiding people), so budget $50K expecting to write your own applications on top of the built-in behaviors, and know EU support is not spelled out post-Amazon.

Size to scale

What it does on day onewith zero programming
Powers on as a friendly, self-contained social humanoid: it maps and navigates a space, walks/kneels/crawls, waves, dances, jumps, recovers from falls, holds voice conversations, and expresses intent through its 360-degree facial LED array and motorized eyebrows. You can drive it immediately with the companion-app whole-body teleoperation, no code required.
Best for: Robotics researchers, universities, and product teams who want a safe, approachable, ready-to-run bipedal platform for locomotion, manipulation, and human-robot-interaction work, plus data collection, without building a humanoid from scratch.
Documented uses
Robotics R&DManipulation researchTeaching / educationDemo / showpiece
Fauna markets Sprout to researchers and developers with full SDK access, for real-world data collection, engineering curriculum and student projects, and guest-facing retail and entertainment roles.
Sprout is sold by request rather than checkout, its grippers are 1-DoF, and retail, entertainment and classroom applications must be built by the buyer on the included behaviors and APIs.
