OUR STORY
Devanthro’s vision is to build Robodies as agile, dexterous, and elegant as the human body, but without its fragility – so that one day, we can live as these Robodies and stay curious indefinitely. That’s where our name comes from: Devanthro – developing anthropomimetic, i.e. humanlike, Robodies.
Our founders have spent the last decade researching and understanding how to translate human bodies to Robodies. We were incredibly humbled that an early version of our Robody became a permanent exhibit in the largest science museum in the World, the German Museum.
We also believe that Robodies can be a great advocate for greater empathy and humanity. Through Robodies, we can actually be in many places as one, and bring us closer to friends and family that are far from us. We can also explore our human values, as we did in the book Roboy & Lucy.
