Meet Punyo, TRI’s Soft Robot for Whole-Body Manipulation Research

At TRI, we’re developing robotic capabilities that amplify, rather than replace, people. We’re on a mission to help with everyday tasks that require more than just our hands and fingertips.
Our research platform, Punyo, embodies this mission. The Punyo team is focused on bulky object manipulation using the arms and chest to complement TRI’s other efforts in fine robot hand- and gripper-based dexterity. We are developing hardware and algorithms that enable truly capable robots to help with large, heavy, and unwieldy items.
