Problem
Personal robot companions are typically prohibitively expensive, difficult to program, and locked into closed ecosystems that prevent users from customizing or sharing behaviors. This limits their accessibility for hobbyists, educators, and small-scale developers who want affordable, adaptable robotics platforms.
Solution
Nori Robotics offers the Nori A3, an affordable, open-source robot companion designed for home training and skill sharing. The A3 includes a laptop-based app, the Nori Lab, which allows users to train, operate, and manage the robot without specialized coding expertise. Users can create custom skills at home and share them with others through a skills marketplace, enabling collaborative development across a community. The robot integrates arms, lidar, cameras, audio, and battery into a single unit, making it a self-contained platform for experimentation and practical tasks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hobbyists, makers, educators, and robotics developers seeking an affordable, programmable robot platform for learning, experimentation, and building shareable skills.
