Feather Robotics Inc., a startup based in East Palo Alto, CA, has launched a humanoid robot called Feather with a starting price of $29,990. The two-armed mobile humanoid is designed as an open platform for physical AI, with each arm offering seven degrees of freedom, omnidirectional wheeled base, 10 hours of battery life, and an open SDK. Unlike competitors such as Figure, Tesla, Unitree, Agibot, and 1X that build both humanoid bodies and AI foundation models, Feather offers only the body, letting customers run models from Nvidia, Skild, or Physical Intelligence on it.
Chestnut Robotics launched Aero Hand and Aero UMI at IROS 2026, pairing a dexterous 18-DoF robotic hand with a wearable demonstration capture rig and teleoperation interface. The company claims a 'zero embodiment gap' by designing the data collector to match the deployment hardware's morphology and tactile sensing. Pricing, delivery dates, and detailed autonomous task benchmarks were not disclosed at launch.
Feather Robotics raised $7.6 million in pre-seed funding led by Gradient, with participation from Builder Capital, Geometry, Seed Innovations and Virgo VC. The California-based company, founded by former Google and Tesla employees Hoa Mai and Parsa Bakhtiari, is developing a modular wheeled bimanual humanoid robot priced at $29,990 targeting third-party developers building physical AI applications. Feather has reportedly generated over $1 million in revenue from customers in manufacturing and food service sectors.
