Enactic Inc. · care humanoid
Ena
A humanoid care-assistant robot meant to take on side tasks in care homes such as laundry, clearing and serving trays and restocking, so staff can spend more time with residents. Enactic, the developer of the open-source OpenArm, entered an OpenArm-based wheeled semi-humanoid with a lift and four-wheel swerve drive in AIRoA's 2026 competition; whether that machine is the Ena platform is not confirmed, so the body details here are uncertain.
