About

About Sprout Creator Edition

Sprout Creator Edition is a 107-centimetre, 22.7-kilogram humanoid with 29 degrees of freedom, compliant motor control and a soft exterior designed to reduce risk during human interaction. Six-axis arms, durable one-axis grippers and five-axis legs support floor-to-countertop manipulation and whole-body movement.

A ZED 2i stereo camera, four time-of-flight sensors, inertial sensing and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin provide onboard perception and compute. The platform includes navigation, mapping, human-awareness, social behaviours and whole-body teleoperation, alongside APIs for custom applications. Swappable batteries provide approximately three to three-and-a-half hours of runtime. Sprout is offered as a Creator Edition developer platform assembled in the United States.
