Fauna developed and launched Sprout, a lightweight, interactive, developer-ready humanoid platform for home, education, and R&D use.
Fauna took the opposite corner from the warehouse-humanoid crowd: a kid-sized, "approachable" home and education humanoid, Sprout, designed to be safe and likeable — it dances, picks up toys, and is built for households and schools rather than logistics. That consumer thesis is what Amazon bought in March 2026, folding Fauna into its devices/robotics effort and instantly making it a strategic piece of the only trillion-dollar company with a consumer-hardware channel, home-device install base and fulfillment robotics stack to distribute a home humanoid at scale. Pre-revenue at acquisition; the open question is whether Amazon ships Sprout as a product or absorbs the team.
