The social brain for robots.

We build brains for robots. We work with manufacturers like Unitree to make robots listen, speak, and act. You can program your robot out of the box by literally talking to it, no coding involved. Robots running Lightberry are emotionally intelligent, always on, and fully autonomous. Just like in Star Wars!

Greetings dear humans – we’re building Lightberry: the social brain for robots.

We work with manufacturers like Unitree and Booster to make robots listen, speak, and act. You can program your robot out of the box by literally talking to it, no coding involved.

Robots running Lightberry are:

  • emotionally intelligent
  • always on
  • fully autonomous

Just like in Star Wars!

Why?

We’ve seen robots on stage: folding laundry, serving popcorn, doing backflips… But before robots get deployed in homes, offices, and shops, they need to become good at interacting with people.

Slapping ChatGPT realtime on it is not enough, every manufacturer tried that already. It responds to every little noise, lacks personality, and needs to be teleoperated.

Lightberry makes robots contextually aware, customizable, and autonomous.

We’ll let our robot Mini-Pi say it in its words:

Is it just a voice pipeline on top of a robot?

No. Lightberry robots have agency. They decide when they want to speak or move. Our robots can see the world around them, navigate it without hitting obstacles, and have an internal monologue of thoughts.

Here’s our robot Koko’s hot-take:

What can your robots do?

Robots running Lightberry are being deployed to interact with people: homes, offices, shops, conferences, etc. Our software works on many different robots: Unitree G1, Fourier GR-2/N1, Booster T1/K1, High Torque Mini-Pi/Mini-Pi+ …

Here are a few robots we’ve deployed Lightberry on – meet Koko, Synthia, Alfred, Blake, Minnie, and Bradford:

Ask

We want to deploy as many robots in the real world as possible. If you want to:

  • Hire a robot for a people-facing gig (conference, sales, marketing, receptionist, concierge…)
  • Integrate Lightberry into your robot (if you’re building hardware!)

Please email us at founders@lightberry.com.

Thanks,
