cinnamon 1 (シナモン1)

The cinnamon 1 is a Japanese brand on sourced hardware. Donut Robotics of Tokyo, founded in 2014, supplies its own donut AI layer with a Japanese-language VLA and VLM, while the body, according to press reports, comes from a Chinese OEM and is assembled in Japan. The biped was presented in Tokyo in January 2026 and has been sold to businesses through the distributor SMS DataTech since June 2026.

A caption in ITmedia gives the height as 170 cm; the maker publishes no weight, joint count, runtime or sensor list. Distinctive features are a silent gesture-control mode, in which the robot follows hand signals without spoken commands, and teleoperation. Target uses are factories, logistics, security and service work.

ITmedia reported a price of roughly 18 million yen in May 2026; the maker itself publishes no price list, so formally the price is on request. A successor, cinnamon 2, is announced for autumn, and a smaller sibling called cinnamon mini, about 130 cm and 35 kg, is built on the AgiBot X2 platform; the base platform of the cinnamon 1 has not been disclosed.

For international buyers the value lies in the Japanese software and local support rather than in unique mechanics.
