How it stands in your space.
Side-by-side with a 180 cm adult, so you can feel the robot's footprint, height, and presence before it ever rolls in.
Compared with a 180 cm adult, Codey stands at approximately waist-to-chest height.

Should you deploy it?
0–100 — higher is stronger, except where noted.
How operationally ready this robot is for production deployment today.
Confidence in the published ROI numbers — how likely the savings actually materialize.
Share of the human task this category can credibly offload.
Fit with your target environment — lighting, floor type, congestion.
Expected maintenance load and downtime risk. Lower is better.
Long-horizon strategic upside — where the platform points 3+ years out.
Buy if you run a museum, hotel, or mid-size school needing hands-free guest/student engagement in low-contact venues. Skip if you need task automation, physical labor, or immediate ROI—Codey can't carry, fetch, or pay for itself yet, and won't launch pilots until 2026. Too early to call on true deployment economics.

When to deploy this.
- Museum floor guide, conversing with visitors and fielding logistics questions, 50–100+ patron venue (daytime operation).
- Classroom assistant in schools with 200+ students, providing individualized brief conversations to supplement teacher attention during high-enrollment periods.
- Hospital lobby reception companion, greeting incoming patients and families, providing wayfinding context and emotional reassurance in waiting areas.
When to skip it.
- Cannot perform any physical manipulation (fetch, carry, push buttons) — constrained deliberately for child safety; near-term upgrades to button-pressing only.
- Emotional recognition unreliable — cannot detect user sentiment unless they gesture in "very exaggerated and animated" manner; limits therapeutic or support roles.
- Still in pre-launch prototype phase (pilot studies begin 2026) — multiple technical quirks unresolved; frequent interruptions in conversation and adult acceptance divided due to uncanny appearance.
What's verified, what's estimated.
Robofy separates manufacturer-confirmed facts from operator estimates. Anything not yet press-sourced or supplier-confirmed is tagged so you can decide how much weight to give it.
Dimensions and weight unavailable from public sources; height (~3 feet) estimated from press descriptions. Price range from eWeek/TechJournal reporting on target retail forecast. Pricing reflects South Korean manufacturing partnership target, not final MSRP. Specs drawn from TechJournal and eWeek interviews with co-founder Ben Goertzel and CEO Chris Kudla (December 2025–June 2026). Limitations and capabilities sourced from USA Today and Interesting Engineering field reports; emotional recognition issue confirmed by Kudla in eWeek June 2026. Battery, payload, and exact speed data not disclosed. Maturity assessment based on 2.5-year development timeline and ongoing crowdfunding ($600k/1M target).

- 01
Teach by demonstration
Engineers walk the humanoid through the target task, recording motion and contact data.
- 02
Train task policy
Sensor traces feed a learned policy that generalizes the demonstrated behavior across the workspace.
- 03
Whole-body manipulation
The robot executes the task with full-body coordination — handling tools, totes, or load points autonomously.
- 04
Pilot loop & refine
Failures and exceptions feed back into training; the policy improves with each shift logged.
