NEXTAGE Fillie is a newer model in Kawada Robotics' NEXTAGE family, introduced in 2022. It was created to broaden the NEXTAGE lineup: where the conventional NEXTAGE (NXA) is the established general-purpose industrial dual-arm humanoid, the Fillie is more compact, faster, and lighter, giving customers a second option better suited to applications where a smaller, quicker robot fits better. It shares NEXTAGE's core philosophy — a fenceless, collaborative, dual-arm humanoid for human-shared factory spaces.
Price Range
Like the rest of the NEXTAGE family, the Fillie is a commercial industrial product sold via quote rather than a published list price. Kawada offers it alongside the conventional NEXTAGE so customers can pick the model that fits their task.

| Availability | Commercially available since 2022 |
| Position in lineup | The compact, faster, lighter NEXTAGE option |
Full Specifications
The Fillie shares the NEXTAGE family architecture — a head-torso-and-dual-arms humanoid on a stand, integrated vision and image recognition, NxProduction software, and fenceless collaborative operation — in a more compact, lighter, faster package than the conventional NEXTAGE NXA. Kawada has published the Fillie primarily in comparative terms (smaller/faster/lighter than NXA) rather than with a detailed standalone public spec sheet; buyers should request exact figures (reach, payload, cycle time) directly.
Model Breakdown
Within the NEXTAGE family, the Fillie is the compact, higher-speed tier — a complement to, not a replacement for, the conventional NEXTAGE/NXA. Customers choose between them (and the research-oriented NEXTAGE Open) based on workspace, speed, and task requirements.
Buyer's Guide: What to Know
The Fillie is the "smaller and faster" NEXTAGE. If the conventional NEXTAGE is larger or slower than your application needs, the Fillie is the family's compact, quicker alternative.
It keeps NEXTAGE's collaborative strengths. Fenceless operation, integrated vision, and no-code teaching via NxProduction carry over.
Confirm exact specs. Because Kawada documents the Fillie largely by comparison to the NXA, get a precise spec sheet before procurement.
Same ecosystem. Choosing the Fillie still buys into NEXTAGE's mature software and 15-plus-year industrial track record.
Fillie vs Similar Robots
- Fillie vs Kawada NEXTAGE (NXA): Same family — the Fillie is the more compact, faster, lighter model; the NXA is the established general-purpose option.
- Fillie vs UBTECH Walker S Lite: Both are the lighter, more compact variant within their makers' industrial humanoid families.
- Fillie vs Astribot S1: Both are dual-arm manipulation robots; the Fillie is a fenceless fixed-base industrial unit, the S1 a service/research platform.
