TARA Gen 1

TARA Gen 1 from India's iHub Robotics is a semi-humanoid: a torso with head and arms mounted on a wheeled base, no legs. Launched in 2024, it comes in three variants, Tara Learn for teaching, Tara Greet for reception and Tara Care for care settings, and the maker places it in banks, classrooms, trade fairs and airports.

The software recognises faces, navigates autonomously and converses in many languages; trade press reports support for more than a hundred languages and navigation across areas up to about 400,000 square feet.

An OLED display serves as the face. iHub describes TARA as deployed, and an interview mentions roughly 62 to 63 first-generation units delivered in India, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, so the status is on sale.

The honest caveat is the absence of a spec sheet: the website contains no figures and the Tara Learn brochure consists only of images, so height, weight, degrees of freedom, runtime and ingress protection are unknown, and numbers found in third-party listings lack independent confirmation. The company does not state its city or founding year. Price on request.

For comparable reception duties, the catalogue lists service robots such as Pudu KettyBot Pro, while Engineered Arts Ameca shows what a dedicated interaction humanoid looks like.
