Nori

Nori (Nori Robotics) is a Y Combinator (Summer 2026) hard-tech company in San Francisco building affordable bimanual humanoid home robots — the NORI L2, a sub-$1,300 wheeled robot with dual Z-axis lift arms that autonomously handles household chores like loading dishes, making beds, food prep, and cleaning, with multiple units able to collaborate on coordinated tasks. Beyond the hardware, Nori publishes a developer surface: the @nori/sdk robot-local teleoperation SDK connects to a robot over WebRTC to stream video and telemetry and drive it from the browser in ~20 lines, with all safety mechanisms (clamping, watchdog, E-STOP, motor torque lifecycle) enforced on the robot's control daemon. The SDK targets the nori-protocol v1 wire format (NDJSON over a WebRTC data channel to the daemon on port 7777), is Apache-2.0 licensed, and is distributed to a small set of collaborating developers as a tarball rather than on public npm.

Nori publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Robotics, Humanoid Robots, Teleoperation, and SDK.

Nori’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, and 13 more developer resources.
