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.
