Wandercraft Calvin-40

Calvin-40 is an industrial humanoid from Wandercraft, a Paris robotics company better known for self-balancing exoskeletons. Wandercraft introduced the robot in June 2025 and said it had built the first unit in 40 days by reusing parts of its exoskeleton products. Press coverage describes it as headless, with its sensors and cameras mounted low so it can see tools, parts and surfaces and fit under equipment. Reports describe interchangeable end effectors including suction cups, grippers and dexterous hands.

Wandercraft positions Calvin-40 for repetitive, physically demanding work that is hard to staff, including part handling, flow logistics, picking and kitting, and production assembly and tending. The product page lists a 3D sensor and vision stack for autonomous navigation and a target failure rate below 1 in 1,000. Renault Group, Wandercraft's first commercial partner and customer, says Calvin carries 40–50 kg and identifies inertial measurement units in each limb, force sensors under the feet and an RGB-D camera. Wandercraft says the robotics platform integrates NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1 and the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform. Height, weight, speed and battery figures remain unpublished.

Renault Group took a minority stake in Wandercraft in June 2025. The partners plan a family of Calvin robots, initially for industrial use. In September 2026 Wandercraft said it had secured 12 blue-chip customers and that units were already working in real-world environments, but it did not name those customers. First series delivery is scheduled for the first half of 2027, so this file treats the robot as a pilot. Prospective customers can request a demo through the product page; no public price or direct order channel is available.
