Robot.com Launches R-noid Humanoid Robot for Warehouse, Hospitality and Industrial Applications

Robot.com has launched its new R-noid humanoid robot, introducing an automation platform designed to perform repetitive and hard-to-staff jobs across warehouses, hospitality venues and industrial facilities. The company said the system can be deployed at customer sites within eight to 12 weeks through a flexible robot-as-a-service model.

Robot.com is positioning R-noid as a practical workforce solution for industries facing persistent labor shortages. The humanoid platform will initially support five applications: restaurant assistant, packer, picker, folder and host, targeting use cases in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, food service, hospitality and experiential venues.

Felipe Chavez Cortes, Co-founder and CEO of Robot.com, 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. We build the robots that make that trade real, taking the repetitive physical work off your team so they can focus on craft, care and the customer."

The technical architecture combines a mobile base with dual robotic arms and an articulated torso, enabling the robot to handle material movement and customer-facing tasks within existing facilities without major infrastructure changes. Robot.com said the platform integrates Nvidia’s robotics software and computing stack, Physical Intelligence’s vision-language-action model and FieldAI foundation models to support natural-language task execution and operation in changing environments.

According to the company, the R-noid launches with 19 distinct tasks across its five application categories. Early deployments are already underway, including an innovative order-packing application at a golf course and separate pilot work with a food manufacturing company, while Formic will serve as an official deployment partner for customers adopting the platform.

Robot.com plans to showcase R-noid this week at Automate 2026 in Chicago, alongside its existing fleet of delivery, transport and advertising robots. The launch reflects the company’s broader shift toward commercial humanoid labor solutions built for rapid, scalable deployment in real workplaces.
