Tangible reveals Eggie, a wheeled humanoid for contact-rich home tasks
The California startup is building Eggie around dexterous hands, compliant control and whole-body movement for messy home environments.
Tangible has revealed Eggie, a wheeled humanoid robot designed for home environments, with the company framing the system around dexterity, compliance and whole-body control.
The California startup describes Eggie as a robot built for unpredictable, cluttered spaces. Its public launch materials show the robot in domestic tasks such as wiping a coffee spill, using a mug and interacting with kitchen surfaces, with Tangible positioning the robot around contact-rich manipulation in everyday environments.
Tangible is a young robotics company focused on bringing humanoid-style manipulation into ordinary human spaces. Its public language is broad, but the product direction is specific: Eggie is a wheeled, upper-body humanoid built around hands, arms and contact with household objects.
Eggie combines a humanoid upper body with a wheeled base for manipulation around household counters, sinks, tables and shelves.
The Robot
Eggie’s design centres on five-fingered hands, mobile indoor movement and compliance. Tangible says the robot is built on three pillars: dexterity, compliance and whole-body control. The company argues that those capabilities let Eggie work in messy spaces where a robot has to touch, lean, slide, wipe, hold and recover from imperfect contact.
The launch videos show Eggie wiping a spill, a task requiring continuous surface contact, force adjustment, object awareness and coordinated arm-body movement.
The Product Direction
Third-party product listings describe it as a wheeled humanoid for interaction, education and light service tasks, with some reporting a $32,000 price point, but Tangible’s own site does not yet provide a full public specification sheet, commercial availability page or delivery timeline.
Eggie is an early platform reveal, shown in company demonstrations.
