Standard Bots makes the Core (formerly RO1), a six-axis collaborative robot arm programmed through no-code software — drag, tap, and teach, with no engineers required. A transformer-based model lets the arm learn intricate tasks by human demonstration, targeting CNC machine tending, palletizing, welding, and pick-and-place. The arms are designed and built in the US.

Pros & cons

  • No-code: train it by demonstration
  • ~30% cheaper than legacy cobots (~$37k)
  • 18kg payload, 1.3m reach, ±0.025mm repeat
  • Designed and built in the US
  • Used by NASA, Amazon, Lockheed Martin
  • Significant upfront hardware cost (~$37k+)
  • Industrial arm only — not a humanoid
  • US-focused manufacturing deployments
  • Learn-by-demonstration AI still maturing

    Figure AI

    Figure AI

    Humanoid robots powered by Helix, an in-house vision-language-action model.

    Figure AI builds general-purpose humanoid robots (Figure 01–03) driven by Helix, its proprietary vision-language-action model that fuses perception, language, and learned control. Figure 03, announced in 2025, targets the home and broader applications; earlier models were piloted in BMW's automotive manufacturing.

    Worth knowing

    Reached a $39B post-money valuation in its Sept 2025 Series C — about 15x its valuation a year earlier.

    Agility Robotics

    Agility Robotics

    Maker of Digit, the humanoid robot already doing paid work in warehouses.

    Agility Robotics builds Digit, a bipedal humanoid for warehouse and factory material handling, orchestrated by its Arc cloud platform. Digit works production shifts at GXO — 100,000+ totes moved at a single site — with commercial agreements at Schaeffler, Mercado Libre, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. Robots are assembled at the company's RoboFab factory in Salem, Oregon.

    Worth knowing

    Its 2024 GXO deal was widely reported as the first formal commercial humanoid deployment; a 2025 round valued it near $1.8B.

    Physical Intelligence

    Physical Intelligence

    General-purpose foundation models that aim to control any robot to do any task.

    Physical Intelligence is a San Francisco lab building general-purpose AI for the physical world. Its π0 (pi-zero) vision-language-action model, built on a pretrained VLM and trained across many robot embodiments, can perform dexterous tasks like folding laundry. The company open-sourced π0's code and weights via its openpi repository.

    Worth knowing

    Raised $400M at a $2.4B valuation in 2024 led by Jeff Bezos and OpenAI, with a team drawn from Tesla, DeepMind, and X.
