Built for the work that burns people out
20 July 2026
ROBOT.COM HAS announced its commercial launch of R-noid, a humanoid robot designed for repetitive, multi-shift jobs. Under a Robot-as-a-Service model, the company can deploy operational R-noid systems within eight to twelve weeks from initial site visit.

The R-noid launch includes five solution categories: Restaurant sssistant, packer, Picker, folder, and host, deployed across six industry verticals including industrial, logistics, healthcare, food services, lodging, and experiential.
CEO and co-founder, Felipe Chavez Cortes, stated: "The future of work isn't fewer people. It's people freed from the parts of the job that grind them down, doing more of what they're good at."
R-noid features dual 7-degree-of-freedom arms, a 4-DoF articulated torso with 0 to 1.9m vertical reach, and a holonomic mobile base. The robot runs on Physical Intelligence's π0.7 vision-language-action model for generalist manipulation across packing, picking, and folding tasks.
Robot.com partnered with Yukai Engineering for design and R-soul, an expression system designed to earn trust. The company also works with FieldAI on Field Foundation Models and uses NVIDIA's robotics stack including Jetson modules and Isaac Sim.
At launch, R-noid performs 19 deployable tasks. Lighthouse deployments are underway, including a live Packer deployment at a golf course handling on-site order operations and movement toward production at a major food manufacturing facility.
