@NVIDIAAI recently released ASPIRE v1.0. The newest AI models demonstrated that coding agents can reliably generate policies for a range of tasks.
We have been following ASPIRE closely @NoriRobotics, experimenting with a code-as-policy ecosystem for the Nori-A3.
Come build robots with us :)
we’re hiring at Nori Robotics (YC S26)
Nori ships a $1,688 humanoid in SF
join us on our factory floor. roles + details below ↓
Nori Robotics is excited to join the @NVIDIA Inception Program!
We look forward to advancing AI-powered robotics with support from a leader in AI and accelerated computing.
Here’s what we’re working on. 🧵
It's @ycombinator Demo Day is tomorrow 🚀
There’s a robot that folds laundry, cancer vaccines for dogs, and a company planning data centers at sea.
I went through all 234 public companies. Here’s the full guide, plus 7 of my favorites...
Nori’s SDKs are now open!
pip install nori-sdk and you can drive a full robot session in minutes.
Python:
Typescript:
Wire protocol both are conformance tested against:
Apache-2.0.
Today, we're kicking off the first phase of the research preview for Model Hardware Standard (MHS): a new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing.

A cute little browser kinematic viewer I threw together. running WebGL with multi-cam views, TAA, SSAO and more composer/post processing passes than really necessary. sub 250 draw calls per moving frame. still at
In the spirit of keeping Nori open and dev friendly -- here is an early release of our URDF. It's ready for visualization, VR, IK, and other kinematic work (camera sim and perfect physics-accuracy coming later). More sim tools coming to the Nori app soon.
Two months ago, Antonio showed an early prototype of this humanoid in the robotics manipulation course I was TAing at Columbia. Now it’s already turning into a real product and shipping.
Amazing to see how quickly things can move from a classroom prototype to the real world. (Pic: me visiting Nori 🤖)
I have believed for a few years now, that what the field badly needed was accessible, low cost, capable platforms so everyone could build and rapidly iterate
i am very happy right now that we've got several companies building stuff like this, looks great
