RoboAtlas Summary

Cartwheel Robotics develops Yogi, an embodied-AI companion robot designed for warm, human-friendly interaction.

Official positioning

The company presents its vision as making robots feel human through robot systems that connect naturally with people.

Hardware scope

Its recorded flagship is Yogi, a full-stack companion robot with soft medical-grade silicone skin, integrated actuation safety features and a removable battery.

Intelligence scope

Cartwheel describes Yogi as integrating embodied AI across hardware, firmware, intelligence and interaction. The official page describes natural movement and intuitive response, without publishing a detailed model architecture.

Go-to-market

Yogi is presented through a waitlist rather than a public purchase price. Cartwheel says initial deployments target hospitality, healthcare and research, with home use planned later.
