Fauna Sprout

Fauna Robotics was a New York-based humanoid robot developer that built Sprout, a compact, safety-first humanoid platform for developers and researchers. Founded in 2024 by ex-CTRL-labs and Google DeepMind alumni, the company raised a 30M USD Seed round from Kleiner Perkins, Lux Capital, and Quiet Capital. Amazon acquired Fauna Robotics in March 2026, folding the team into its Personal Robotics Group.

Fauna Sprout is at the prototype stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.

Fauna Sprout is made by Fauna Robotics, based in New York, USA, founded in 2024.
