Nori Robotics.

Nori Robotics makes the Nori A3, a two-armed robot on a wheeled base for everyday household tasks such as folding clothes, loading a dishwasher and fetching items. Each arm moves with 7+1 degrees of freedom and lifts up to 1.5 kg. A lidar with 12 m of range and four 720p RGB cameras handle navigation, and a speaker and microphone take spoken commands. The battery lasts six to eight hours. Owners train and operate the robot with the Nori Lab laptop app, and a skills marketplace lets them share the behaviors they teach it. The company assembles the A3 in San Francisco and sells it at $1,688 full price with no deposit, shipping from Fall 2026.

General-purpose robots have cost $20,000 or more, which keeps them in labs and pilot programs instead of homes. Household work today is spread across single-task appliances that each do one job.
