What is in the crate

6 included|4 not included

Hands

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.

In the crate

Sprout humanoid robot (Creator Edition) Swappable battery (3 to 3.5 hours runtime) 1 DoF grippers with rubberized interior (installed) Onboard software stack: movement, perception, navigation, voice/social behaviors Companion app for whole-body teleoperation Core developer APIs and pre-trained policies

You still have to add

Full autonomy for arbitrary tasks (it ships with pre-built behaviors; task-specific autonomy is yours to build) Heavy-lifting or industrial capability (light interaction only, ~2 kg class payload) Guaranteed EU support or localized service Application-specific integrations for healthcare/eldercare/retail (you develop these on the platform)

Day onePowers on as a friendly, self-contained social humanoid.

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.

The maker's shares

All makers

Fauna Robotics: It was bought by Amazon, listed as Nasdaq: AMZN.

Amazon confirmed the acquisition of Fauna Robotics on 25 Mar 2026 (the deal reportedly closed the week before), so Amazon shares are the only exposure and Sprout is no longer an independent company. Before the deal Fauna had raised a seed round of about USD 30 million led by Kleiner Perkins (an SEC Form D from Feb 2025 shows USD 16.6 million sold).

Size to scale

Drawn next to a 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) person. Every robot on the site uses this same reference, so you can trust the comparison at a glance.

Fauna Robotics Sprout: 107 cm / 3 ft 6 in, 22.7 kg

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&D Manipulation research Teaching / education Demo / 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.

Assessment from published documentation, not an independent performance test. Applies to the configuration described above.

What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access

Aimed at researchers, engineers, and tinkerers. To go beyond the built-in behaviors you build on Fauna's core APIs and pre-trained policies, running on the onboard NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin (64GB) with a 1TB SSD. Expect standard robotics development skills (Python-level scripting, policy/behavior programming) for custom manipulation, task planning, and voice/HRI applications.

SDK access: Fauna provides core APIs and pre-trained policies plus a modular software stack described as "a canvas" for manipulation, task planning, human-robot interaction, and voice interfaces, with apps shareable across the developer community. A technical report (arXiv 2601.18963) and a full-spec PDF document the platform. Exact language/ROS bindings are not fully published; VR-based teleoperation for data collection is documented in the technical report.
