FML Companion Kit
A small bipedal companion robot. The internals are the Open Duck Mini — proven gait planner, teleoperation stack, and 12V Feetech servo layout that has months of development behind it. The shell is rebuilt with FML's own visual identity so it's not a homage to anyone else's IP.
The thesis: companion robots are the first frontier of people getting comfortable living with robots. A small bipedal that walks, reacts, and has personality is the right form factor for that frontier — cheaper than a humanoid, more present than a voice assistant, and actually in the room.
Reserve your spot. No charge now. We'll email when the kit is ready.
What FML is adding
The internals are Open Duck Mini (Apache 2.0). The shell is an entirely original FML design — upstream references Disney's BDX droids, which our kit does not and will not. Same proven gait planner and teleoperation stack.
No charge now. One email when this ships, nothing else.
