Executive Summary
Inchanted Tools is developing humanoid robots, Miroki and Miroka, with a unique go-to-market strategy that positions them as characters with a backstory, supported by animated movies.
The company is strategically targeting the healthcare sector—including hospitals, clinics, and elderly care facilities—as a primary market for its assistive robots.
The robot's physical design is a result of deliberate choices prioritizing safety and usability in human environments, such as using a mobile base instead of bipedal legs and a high center of mass for stable arm control.
The core philosophy is to blend utility (e.g., moving objects) with enchantment, using a non-human appearance and narrative to create a positive user experience and manage expectations.
