Introducing Hugo: the first human companion robot.
At Boston Dynamics, I was Chief Strategy Officer, bringing robots into the real world.
My co-founder, Farbod Farshidian, led research at the RAI Institute.
Together, 15+ years teaching robots to run, jump, and work.
So we asked: what if robots could connect with people?
Hugo runs on the first Vision-Language-Expression (VLE) model.
He links what he sees and hears to movement, expression, and gesture.
He notices you, reads the room, and reacts in real time.
And he's only the first.
Dynamic Creatures is @BostonDynamics' official entertainment and hospitality partner.
We're building a cast of characters with film studios, resorts, and theme parks.

@wallstengine Hugo has a whole range of reactions. We built it with the intention of making robot companions that interact with their environment a reality.
I would love your vote! ๐ณ๏ธ (And for once, it's not all about robots ;)

Most hospitality robots are built to complete a task. Most animatronics are built to perform a predetermined sequence.
@dynamicreatures is building mobile characters that respond in real time.
Weโre emerging from stealth as @BostonDynamicsโ official entertainment and hospitality partner.
