Who We Are & What We Do
Seoul’s Creative Vision. Hong Kong’s Design Power. The Pearl River Delta’s Industrial Craftsmanship.
Seoul’s Creative Vision. Hong Kong’s Design Power. The Pearl River Delta’s Industrial Craftsmanship.
Reimagining Renaissance automata through today's On-Device Language Models and Physical AI, we look beyond children’s toys and functional robots to create ‘soulful’ companions for the adult mind. By breathing life into characters from art, literature, and science with fluid kinetics and bespoke personas, we enable real-time emotional interaction and storytelling—ushering in an era where technology becomes a magical experience.

Bitter Bierce
Bitter Bierce
The world’s brilliant pessimist, replacing vanilla AI comfort with razor-sharp cynicism. Armed with the wit of The Devil’s Dictionary, he offers a brutal antidote to modern delusion—masterful satire for those who prefer truth over lies.
Xiao Hong
Xiao Hong
Meet Xiao Hong, an automaton blending northern nostalgia with Hong Kong’s neon nights. A ‘poetic stranger’ powered by a bespoke AI brain neuralized from her own literary works, she listens and speaks with the profound depth of a wandering writer.
American Gothic
American Gothic
Grant Wood’s masterpiece transcends the canvas to become a living automaton. It steps out of the frame to engage in conversation, recite timeless Gothic literature, and express its emotions through the movements of its iconic 'Iowan' pitchfork.
Mu-Nan (沐南)
This bookish girl is a poet-automaton born from Tainan’s golden soul, capturing the ripening warmth of Southern Taiwan like a sun-drenched Irwin mango, and blending the melodic cadence of Southern Min with the nostalgic haze of Taiwanese youth cinema.
Stag at Sharkey's
George Bellows’ visceral New York Realism is reborn as a straining automata. They project our own relentless fight in modern society by shouting the raw spirit from the brutal survivalism of Jack London to the cold urban grit of Stephen Crane. Own the struggle. Feel the vibration. And go for it!
Abysso-Sophist
Influenced by the telescope fish's visceral anatomy and implemented with a mind fusing ancient philosophy and surrealist poetry, this 'Deep Thinker' automaton translates your reality into the unforgiving metaphors of the deep. He is your guide to a grotesque aesthetic where only the profound endures the crushing pressure.
We're designing more, and we're always open to your ideas. Let's shape the future, together. Thank you.

Tailored Teams & Community-Powered Craftsmanship
Tailored Teams & Community-Powered Craftsmanship
We bring complex mechanical life to your desk through a unique, transparent, and community-driven development model. Here is how we transform a concept into a masterpiece.
1. Funding for Prototyping
1. Funding for Prototyping
Every project begins with a dedicated crowdfunding phase. This initial capital is used exclusively to move a design from the drawing board into its first physical form—the prototype.
2. Assembling a Tailored Team
2. Assembling a Tailored Team
Once a project is funded, we don't use a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We curate a specialized team of mechanical engineers, artisans, and designers whose specific skills align with the unique complexity and aesthetic of that particular automaton.
3. Open Development & Community Feedback
3. Open Development & Community Feedback
The workshop doors are always open to our backers. The prototyping journey is shared in real-time within our exclusive community. We invite continuous feedback, ensuring the automaton’s movement, sound, and feel are updated and refined based on your insights.
4. Prototype Delivery & Field Testing
4. Prototype Delivery & Field Testing
For those seeking a hands-on role in our evolution, we offer the chance to receive a physical prototype for direct field testing. You won't just be observing—you will be a vital collaborator, helping us fine-tune the 'ghost in the shell' through your real-world insights.
5. Final Production & Global Launch
5. Final Production & Global Launch
Using the final round of community data, we perfect the design for its definitive version. The final product is then manufactured and made available through a pre-sale or a secondary funding campaign for global delivery. As a token of our gratitude, early backers will enjoy a significant discount on the final retail price.
About Us
Discover the Korean heart of this enterprise: Olive Tech. Leveraging our specialized WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) storage technology, we provide the On-Device 'Immortal Memory' for our automata—ensuring that the raw spirit of literature and nostalgia remains eternal and untampered. Explore the technological bedrock of our venture: www.olivetech.co.kr - this site is structured for seamless translation into various languages.
While rooted in its Korean parent company, Anima Automata operates as an independent Hong Kong-based entity dedicated to this new venture. We chose Hong Kong as our strategic base because it is the global epicenter of art toy design, surrounded by the Pearl River Delta’s industrial ecosystem. This unique location allows us to rapidly and effectively integrate our core pillars—art toys, AI, and robotics—into a seamless reality.
