Punyo is an artistic rendering of the Tactile team’s dream domestic robot. The word “punyo” is a Japanese word that elicits feelings of chubby, cute resilience - our Punyo concept robot is soft, interactive, affordable, safe, durable and capable. Most importantly, unlike many other robots, Punyo is not afraid to safely make a lot of contact and uses its whole body to get jobs done and interact with the world and its humans.
