RNoid
R-noid is Robot.com's humanoid labour platform, and the company's own slogan for it is blunt: no legs, all lift to the bottom line. It is a legless humanoid on a holonomic base that drops into the stations people already work at, pack lines, CNC cells and parts rooms, and runs them through every shift change. The published specification is a 1.7 m machine weighing 90 kg on a 0.55 m base, with dual 7-degree-of-freedom arms, a 4-degree-of-freedom articulated torso reaching from 0 to 1.9 m, 4 kg of payload per arm, and a 3-hour battery that can also run on plug-in power, with a modular design and an end effector. It launched commercially on 22 June 2026 under a robot-as-a-service model, with operational systems on a customer floor within eight to twelve weeks of a site visit, and 19 deployable tasks across five roles the company calls Restaurant Assistant, Packer, Picker, Folder and Host, spanning industrial, logistics, healthcare, food services, lodging and experiential customers. What runs it matters as much as what it is: manipulation uses Physical Intelligence's pi0.7 vision-language-action model, the robot works with NVIDIA's Jetson and Isaac Sim stack and FieldAI's Field Foundation Models, and Yukai Engineering designed it and built R-soul, an expression system the company says exists to earn trust, giving each unit its own personality, voice, expressions and character behind dynamic front displays and LED expressions. It also runs in two modes, autonomous and VR teleoperated, with a deployment path that starts at a site visit and moves through laboratory and onsite data capture before autonomy. The company sells it against numbers it is happy to repeat: 3.5 thousand dollars to replace one front line worker, 130 per cent annual turnover in quick-service restaurants, 67 per cent of hotel operators reporting critical housekeeping gaps and a projected two million warehouse worker shortage. Lighthouse deployments were already live at launch, including a Packer at a golf course and a move toward production at a major food manufacturer.
Repetitive multi-shift work in kitchens, packing lines, order picking and linen folding; machine tending in CNC cells and parts rooms; hosting and guest-facing tasks; and deployment across industrial, logistics, healthcare, food services, lodging and experiential customers, with published task examples including case packing from a turntable, plastic part pick and place, packing into shipping boxes and cardboard box assembly.
