03The Problem

Forget folding laundry. Robots should take on hazardous, physically demanding work.

Industrial work is the backbone of our economy — and a massive TAM. Yet today's industrial robotics solutions are fixed, inflexible, and not economically viable for most industrial tasks.

Diverse environments require mobility

  • Unstructured floors in construction, mining, offshore facilities
  • Tight spaces or stairs in brownfield facilities
  • Facility reconfigurations driven by changeovers

High diversity, low volume tasks need flexibility

  • Demand fluctuation leading to quick workflow changes
  • Low volume tasks done by 'flex workers' today
  • Processes with unstructured inputs
04The Product

Introducing Moby

America's most cost-effective humanoid. Best-in-class 50 lb payload. Any environment, any task, with fast onboarding — and it's full stack.

Moby industrial humanoid robot studio product shot

Best-in-class payload

50 lb payload — the most of any humanoid on the market.

Any environment. Any task.

Stairs, outdoors, tight spaces and uneven surfaces.

Fast onboarding

Train a robot as fast as onboarding a person.

05Technology & Autonomy

Train a robot as fast as onboarding a person

End-to-end autonomy through a three-step post-training pipeline on top of NM pre-training — then a vertically integrated ecosystem: the iPhone of robots.

End-to-end autonomy pipeline

Step 1
Pre-Training

NM pre-training on video data, embodiment data and hardware data.

Step 2
Task Adaptation

Rapidly adapt the base model to a new task.

Step 3
Coaching

Error correction through human coaching.

Step 4
Self Improvement

Continuous improvement via online reinforcement learning.

NM SkillsApps

The Skills

Learns, shares, and deploys new skills — just show or tell. Share physical skills like the App Store.

NM OSiOS

The Brain

Connects intelligence to movement through hardware-agnostic APIs and whole-body control.

NM HardwareiPhone

The Robot

Capable, low-cost, built for the real world at scale.

06Market

Industrial work is the backbone of the economy — and a massive TAM

Moby targets the highest-value, hardest-to-automate industrial verticals where mobility and payload matter most.

SemiconductorsConstructionManufacturingEnergyMining
We have talked to all humanoid robotics companies around the world. We're particularly excited about working with Noble Machines to push the frontier of humanoids.
Leading logistics company
No American humanoid company ships a robot, and Chinese robots like Unitree cannot do anything useful that needs payload. Noble Machines is the only company that ships robots to us with the payload capacity we're looking for.
