SUMMARY
NEXTAGE Fillie is a humanoid collaborative robot developed by Kawada Robotics, launched in 2022 and showcased at CES 2026.It is a smaller, lighter, cost‑effective successor to the original NEXTAGE, designed for assembly, inspection, and R&D.Fillie features dual arms with 15 DoF, stereo vision, ±0.03 mm repeatability, and ROS/ROS2 support, making it ideal for safe human‑robot collaboration in factories and labs.
EDITORIAL
Fillie reflects Kawada’s two‑decade legacy in humanoid robotics, evolving NEXTAGE into a compact, approachable design.Its friendly aesthetics and LED status indicators make it suitable for shared workspaces, while its open software stack ensures integration into modern research pipelines.Compared to the larger NEXTAGE, Fillie trades payload for speed, cost‑performance, and accessibility, positioning it as a bridge between industrial automation and academic research.
CLASSIFICATION
Type: Stationary/wheeled humanoid workstation robot
Morphology: Head, torso, dual arms
Locomotion: Stationary (optionally mobile trolley)
Category: Humanoid (industrial collaborative class)
Conclusion: NEXTAGE Fillie is a humanoid robot, but not bipedal — it is a dual‑arm humanoid workstation.
