About FRIDAY
FRIDAY is a 176-centimetre, 125-kilogram wheeled humanoid built around bimanual industrial manipulation. Each dexterous hand has 20 degrees of freedom, while compliant arms and tactile sensing allow the robot to regulate contact during assembly, handling and other tasks that cannot be completed reliably through position control alone.
Holiday combines autonomous skill execution with teleoperation for demonstrations, recovery and new-task data collection. The mobile base carries exchangeable batteries so the robot can restore power through a dedicated station without ending the operating shift. Holiday raised $105 million in July 2026 to commercialise FRIDAY and expand production and deployment in manufacturing environments.
