Furny - Expressive Home Robot

Furny demonstrates Futurewave's capability to design and develop expressive, non-anthropomorphic robots for domestic environments — integrating industrial design, embedded electronics, and software-driven motion behavior into a single manufacturable product.

The challenge: build a home robot that feels intelligible and trustworthy in a living room without relying on screens, voice, or humanoid form. Furny solves this through expression-driven movement — a tilting head that reads the room, signals intention before acting, and communicates through posture and gaze.

From concept to industrial-ready prototype, Furny is a reference case for hardware companies looking to bring expressive robotic products to market. Shown at Milan Design Week 2026.
