Mobility
Ride
Seat on, handlebar ready. Personal urban travel that climbs stairs and moves through the city on four legs instead of waiting for a ramp.
ONYU
A friendly modular quadruped for cities: ride it as personal mobility, or strip the seat and send it out as urban delivery. Designed to feel like a product people choose, not a machine they avoid.
The Problem
Industrial quadrupeds look intimidating and were never built for people. Wheeled delivery bots stall on stairs and cannot serve the full city. ONYU starts from the opposite premise: friendly, passenger-focused, and able to go where the city actually goes.

Delivery that stops at stairs
The Product
Industrial design · product plate
ONYU is one platform with two jobs: personal mobility and urban delivery. Four legs clear stairs and broken pavement. A removable seat and modular attachments switch the robot from ride to cargo without tools.
Compact proportions keep it maneuverable on sidewalks and in courtyards while leaving room for a passenger or a delivery load. Mood is intentional: soft silhouette, calm surfaces, no intimidation theatre.
Concept design is locked with Augusto Fuchs. Next milestone: a functional prototype and a first pilot. That is the round we are raising.
Two Modes
Users reconfigure ONYU without tools. Dimensions below come from the industrial-design package.
Mobility
Seat on, handlebar ready. Personal urban travel that climbs stairs and moves through the city on four legs instead of waiting for a ramp.
Delivery
Remove the seat for extra storage. Modular attachments mount like building blocks so the same chassis becomes a last-metre courier.
Features
Four decisions that separate ONYU from industrial quadrupeds and from wheeled delivery bots that stop at the first staircase.
Four legs
Four-leg locomotion is specified so goods and riders reach courtyards, stoops, and upper landings wheeled bots never see.
Modular
Inspired by building blocks: modules attach to the main structure so the same chassis can carry a seat, a cargo bay, or future kits.
Perception
A forward perception stack is designed for sidewalk traffic, curb cuts, and low-light delivery runs. Validation is a prototype milestone.
Seat swap
Delivery mode starts with one move: take the passenger seat off and free the deck for cargo. Compact envelope, maximum utility.
App
A companion app is part of the concept: summon the robot, switch mobility and delivery profiles, and follow status while it moves through the city.
Lifestyle imagery in the design package frames ONYU as something people want nearby - soft, social, and useful - not a warehouse machine parked on the pavement.

Market & Opportunity
Cities need machines that people will share space with, and logistics needs robots that clear stairs. ONYU sits in the overlap.
Detailed segment breakdowns and the competitive matrix are shared with investors under NDA.
Team & Design
ONYU is led by a founder with prior hardware and industrial-design delivery, working from a locked design by Augusto Fuchs with ongoing design collaboration secured.
Founder
Strategy, fundraising, and engineering hand-off from locked industrial design to prototype.
Industrial design
Designer of the ONYU concept and steward of the 3D data. Credit and ongoing design collaboration secured.
Advisors & engineering
Engineering partner (locomotion + perception), regulatory advisor, and pilot operators - targeted as part of the seed round.
Invest
We are raising a seed round to move ONYU from locked-in industrial design to a functional prototype and a first pilot - the milestones that clear the path to Series A.
