Punyo

TRI's humanoid robot using soft, compliant surfaces for whole-body grasping of large and heavy objects, enabling safe human-robot interaction.

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

Punyo is made by Toyota Research Institute Robotics, based in Los Altos, CA, USA.

Punyo is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to Punyo include Walker S2, Digit, Unitree G1, Atlas.

Punyo and Walker S2 (UBTech Robotics · 18 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. Punyo has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Punyo ranks in roughly the top 80% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.

Punyo is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.

No verified deployments of Punyo are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

Punyo has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
