Intro
R-Noid is a 22-degree-of-freedom humanoid service robot engineered for practical assistance in everyday work environments rather than experimental lab demonstrations. Standing approximately 1.6 m tall and weighing around 50 kg, R-Noid is built with a lightweight frame that allows it to interact naturally with human-designed spaces such as aisles, counters, and workstations. The robot features dual 7-DoF arms, each capable of handling up to 5 kg per arm, and a modular interface for interchangeable end-effectors such as grippers or Dex-Hand tools, enabling it to adapt to different manipulation tasks. It also includes a dual screen display for expressive communication, making interactions intuitive for users and reducing friction in welcoming or instructional roles.
R-Noid’s mobility system is designed for smooth indoor navigation with omni-directional movement and precise positioning, enabling it to operate in crowded, dynamic environments with people nearby. Its perception stack includes cameras and sensors that support real-time obstacle avoidance and context awareness, making it suitable for roles in hospitality, warehousing, and public engagement. Robust connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and potentially 5G ensures integration with backend fleet management and remote control systems, while the onboard operating environment likely runs on a Linux-based stack with Robot.com’s service layer for task orchestration.
R-Noid is part of a family of robots from Robot.com that are already active in enterprise operations, with companies reporting hundreds of robots and millions of tasks completed across campuses, warehouses, and service venues. This means R-Noid isn’t just a prototype, it’s a deployed solution with a focus on reliability, safety, and real-world utility.
