The Technology
World’s first shape memory cards. We are redefining what a greeting card can be by combining robotic engineering with fine art and illustration to create twenty-first century greeting cards that inspire WOW. Employing technology developed by company CEO and Co-founder, Menuka Gamage, Nanopuppet’s debut collection of butterfly cards combines beautiful visual design with surprisingly complex engineering, featuring life-like miniature robots in each of its greeting cards. It took him seven years to prototype and develop our muscle alloy constructed robots which allows them to mimic organic motion. Stay tuned for our next collection of talking card, specializing not only in motion but also sound synchronicity.
The Vision
When was the last time you received a greeting card you wanted to keep? Combining robotics engineering, fine art, and illustration, our cards are the perfect keepsake for the person in your life who inspires you. All robotic, electronic and card assembly takes place in their downtown studio. The Nanopuppet team includes experts across a range of technical and artistic fields including robotics, electronic and mechanical engineering, as well as conceptual art and illustration. We aspire to utilize design and technology to create something a little more than just a greeting card. For you to be able to capture a special moment and deliver it to your loved ones.
