Indian robotics company Milagrow has launched three new humanoid robots in India, expanding its presence beyond cleaning robots into education, research, and customer-facing roles. The company has introduced Alpha Mini 25, Yanshee, and Robo Nano 2.0, each designed for a specific environment, ranging from homes and classrooms to universities, malls, hotels, and airports.
Unlike concept demos often seen at tech events, these robots are positioned as working products with defined use cases. Milagrow says the idea is to make humanoid robots more practical, whether that means helping children learn, supporting students working on robotics projects, or assisting visitors in busy public spaces. With prices starting at just under Rs 5 lakh, the launch also highlights how humanoid robots, while still expensive, are slowly becoming more accessible in India.
Price and availability
The Alpha Mini 25 is priced at Rs 4,89,990, making it the most affordable option in Milagrow’s new lineup. The Yanshee humanoid robot is priced at Rs 5,99,990, while the Robo Nano 2.0 sits at the top end with a price of Rs 17,99,990.
All three robots are available for purchase in India through Milagrow’s official website and select offline retail stores, including Vijay Sales. Milagrow says the robots are aimed at a mix of individual buyers, educational institutions, research labs, and businesses, depending on the model.
Specs and features
The Alpha Mini 25 is designed primarily for children and home learning. It is compact in size, standing about 245 mm tall and weighing around 700 grams, making it easy to move between rooms or even between home and school. The robot can interact through voice, gestures, and expressions, and is equipped with a camera that can recognise faces, books, and everyday objects. It also includes microphones for voice interaction, along with touch and motion sensors that allow it to respond to its surroundings.
In practical use, Alpha Mini 25 can help children with basic reading, vocabulary, storytelling, and simple routines. It can also perform dances, games, and programmable actions, allowing parents or teachers to customise how it behaves. In classrooms, it can be used as a teaching aid to make lessons more interactive, especially for younger students.
Yanshee, on the other hand, is aimed at schools, colleges, universities, and research labs. It is built as an open and programmable humanoid robot that students and researchers can use to experiment with robotics, coding, and artificial intelligence. Yanshee supports multiple programming languages and includes a wide range of sensors, such as cameras, sound sensors, and motion tracking. Its design allows users to connect additional hardware and test how software interacts with physical movement.
This robot is meant for hands-on learning, where students can write code, test ideas, and see real-world results. Milagrow says Yanshee can be used for coursework, lab experiments, robotics competitions, and long-term research projects, making it suitable for advanced learning environments.
The Robo Nano 2.0 is designed for public spaces and customer interaction. Weighing around 19 kg, it features a large display, cameras, microphones, and multiple sensors that help it move around autonomously and avoid obstacles. It can recognise faces, respond to voice commands, and guide people in busy environments.
Robo Nano 2.0 is meant for use in places like malls, hotels, airports, hospitals, museums, and campuses. It can greet visitors, provide directions, share information, and assist with basic queries. The robot is designed to operate for long hours and can return to its charging station automatically when needed. Businesses can also use it to collect basic interaction data and manage repetitive tasks, helping reduce the workload on staff.
