Nori is a sub-$2000 bimanual mobile manipulator designed for everyday tasks such as cleaning rooms, restocking shelves, and folding clothes. It performs basic functions immediately upon setup, while its intuitive software enables users to teach it new routines tailored to their home or business environment. The robot is part of a broader effort to address the data limitations that hinder robotic advancement. By distributing affordable robots widely, Nori collects diverse real-world interactions that help improve general-purpose robotic intelligence over time.
Since its launch six weeks ago, Nori has already shipped its first unit and achieved more than $350,000 in sales. With 132.7 million U.S. households and 8.4 million business locations, capturing just 0.5% of the market at $1,688 per unit represents a $1.2 billion opportunity in the United States alone. This approach makes advanced robotics accessible to a much broader audience, paving the way for widespread adoption of adaptable automation solutions in daily life and commercial settings.
