About
Misty II is Misty Robotics’ second-generation personal robot platform, announced as a developer-focused successor to the earlier Misty One. It was designed as an open robotics system for software development, with built-in sensors, speech and face recognition, audio localization, visual capture, and expansion options for additional hardware.
Misty Robotics positioned Misty II as a programmable mobile robot intended for research, experimentation, and application development rather than consumer household use. The platform’s life has been tied closely to the company’s changes in funding, product strategy, and support for the developer ecosystem around the robot.
