Piggy Robotics

Piggy Robotics is developing affordable humanoid robots designed to perform household chores, aiming to bring general-purpose robotics into everyday life. Their approach mirrors the data-driven development of self-driving cars, but applied to humanoids operating in real-world environments. Unlike existing humanoid companies limited by expensive and complex motor systems, Piggy Robotics utilizes artificial muscles—tubes wrapped in braided fiber powered by a single pump. This innovative design enables mass production, potentially reaching millions of homes with robots priced competitively with iPhones. The company's core strategy focuses on scalability and affordability from the outset, targeting widespread adoption in the consumer market.
