Description
Friday is a highly dexterous, mobile humanoid from South Korea’s Holiday Robotics, built for advanced manipulation and human-robot interaction. The platform combines human-scale reach with a compact, practical footprint, targeting real work in labs, factories, and public spaces where safe, precise handling is essential. Holiday Robotics—founded by SUALAB’s Ki-young Song—has raised notable early funding and is positioning Friday as its flagship system.
At a glance, Friday stands about 176 cm tall and weighs roughly 115 kg. It features a 63-degree-of-freedom body, with 7-DoF arms, a 5-DoF torso, and hands that reach ground-level objects—useful for tasks from bin-picking to tool use. The wheeled mobile base prioritizes stability and speed for indoor work.
Manipulation is Friday’s headline act: each hand is listed at around 20 DoF and integrates tactile/force sensing for compliant, precise grasps. This architecture supports safe interaction with people and delicate objects, while enabling more reliable automation of varied tasks. The stack is designed for autonomous operation with teleoperation fallback, plus sensor fusion for navigation, obstacle detection and collision avoidance.
For operations teams, the platform emphasizes uptime and integration: sources describe hot-swappable batteries, cloud connectivity, and a control interface spanning tablet/PC, voice and gesture. Typical uses include internal logistics, light assembly, retail assistance, and R&D. While Holiday Robotics hasn’t published public pricing, third-party trackers put comparable research/industrial humanoids in the low six-figure to mid-six-figure range depending on configuration and support.
