Dexterous wheeled humanoid that bets on hands over legs.
FRIDAY is Holiday Robotics' industrial humanoid — a dual-arm upper body on a differential-drive wheeled base, deliberately built around high-dexterity hands rather than legs. Of its 64 degrees of freedom, 40 are in the hands, which carry full-palm tactile sensors sensitive to about 0.05 N. Backed by a record $105M Series A in July 2026, Holiday is targeting first commercial deployments in the second half of 2026, with private proof-of-concept trials in automotive, semiconductor, and logistics, and plans for 100 units in 2026 rising to 1,000 in 2027. No units are in customers' hands yet and there is no public price; the figure shown is Holiday's stated at-scale target of roughly $67,000.
- ◆64 DoF, with 40 dedicated to the hands
- ◆Full-palm tactile sensing (~0.05 N); 500 g hands
- ◆5 kg per arm; hot-swap batteries for around-the-clock shifts
- ◆Vision-language-skill 'Whitebox' control stack
- ◆$105M Series A — reportedly Korea's largest
Holiday Robotics is a South Korean physical-AI startup founded by SUALAB founder Song Ki-young. It builds FRIDAY, a wheeled industrial humanoid engineered around high-dexterity hands and tactile sensing for repetitive factory, semiconductor, and logistics work. In July 2026 it raised a $105M Series A — reportedly the largest in Korean startup history.
