Fresno Visalia, CA, October 16, 2026 —
A humanoid robot named Codey, developed by Mind Children, was showcased at a technology conference at Stanford University. The robot was described as being designed to combat loneliness, with a focus on communication and relationship-building.
The available information identifies Codey’s developer and the broad purpose behind its design, but does not provide details about how the robot communicates, what relationship-building features it offers or how it is intended to be used. It also does not specify when the conference took place or provide the event’s name.
No information was provided about whether Codey was demonstrated to attendees, whether it is available to the public or what stage of development it has reached. The description also does not include comments from Mind Children, conference organizers or people who interacted with the robot.
The showcase placed Codey before a technology-conference audience at Stanford University, according to the summary. Beyond that, details about the presentation and attendee response were not provided. The available account likewise does not explain how Mind Children defines the robot’s role in addressing loneliness or what measures, if any, are used to assess its effect.
As a result, the information establishes the project’s stated focus and the setting in which it was showcased, but leaves practical and technical questions unanswered. Further details about Codey’s capabilities, development, intended users and the conference presentation were not included in the summary.
