Cartwheel Robotics has emerged from stealth, founded by ex-Boston Dynamics and Disney roboticist Scott LaValley. The company aims to build small, 'emotionally intelligent' humanoid robots like its 'Yogi' prototype, focusing on companionship and interaction in homes and entertainment, rather than industrial applications. They are developing AI like a 'Motion Language Model' for expressive movement but face the historical challenges of social robot viability and cost.
