@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 ↓
Joining @NoriRobotics as CMO
Economic policy → finance → robots. Nonlinear path, clear plan: ambitious tech should be accessible.
6 weeks after launch: first robot deployed, $440K+ in sales. Next up: a future where owning a robot is ordinary.
Let's get to work.
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 this week!
We reviewed ~10% of the batch and have made 6 investments.
- More than 30% of the batch is Hard Tech
- Some have huge traction, e.g. one has already sold thousands of drones.
- The average cap we saw: $40M
Here’s our top picks:
- Isengard Industries
- Atomarine
- Applied Electrodynamics
- Nori Robotics
- Exosat
- Egoist
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.
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.
You can now buy a made-in-America humanoid robot for $1,688.
Assembled in San Francisco.
It's the Nori L3 from @NoriRobotics, and ships in the fall.
It won't win any medals at the Humanoid Games ... but it's pretty cool still.
