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.

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • Imitation learning (primary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Teach it tasks 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.

    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.

    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.
