Well, great things happened to Roboy & Lucy since we launched already 2 weeks ago!
Our book “Superhero Glasses” was featured as a Project We Love on Kickstarter, we got 100% funded and already 61 backers.
But its only beginning...
As we have reached our goal pretty fast and, of course, honestly, we are happy and proud of that, we are now introducing our stretch goal!
Thank you for being a part of the Roboy & Lucy community!
Have a great day!

So who is Roboy anyway?

Let us tell you a bit more...
So, for those who don't know - this is Roboy Junior. He is real.
The goal of the Roboy project is to advance humanoid robotics to the state where its robots are just as good as a human body. Initially, Roboy is built as part of a research project on robotics at the University of Zurich and since 2014 it is being further developed at the TU in Munich. As we are building robots, we also understand the social responsibility which comes with them.
We actually really love Roboy and we will do everything possible so you can also learn about him more through his adventures with Lucy.
Obviously, the Roboy character is based on the real Roboy Junior: he is intellectual (has a know-it-all database!), he is programmed to understand human emotions (but, he can not really experience them himself), he’s not a great inventor, but he always supports Lucy on her creative journeys. He also needs few hours to charge every day and he usually does it when Lucy sleeps! Oh and according to his personality test, he is an introvert :)
What more do you want to know about Roboy?
Have a wonderful weekend!
