Our ambition is to make intelligent robotics accessible to more people. Through Inception’s technical resources and NVIDIA’s developer community, we’re excited to help more builders experiment with physical AI!

We’re also working with NVIDIA’s robotics team to explore the right compute for Nori. Alongside our Isaac Sim workflow, we’re testing GR00T and Cosmos and exploring Jetson hardware, building toward a closer connection between simulation, learning, and real robots.

We’re exploring NVIDIA’s ASPIRE framework on Nori: a system that writes robot-control code, learns from execution feedback, and saves successful approaches as reusable skills. The goal: a full growing skill library for robotics

It’s @ycombinator Demo Day this week! We reviewed ~10% of the batch and have made 6 investments. - More than 30% of the batch is Hard Tech - Some have huge traction, e.g. one has already sold thousands of drones. - The average cap we saw: $40M Here’s our top picks: - Isengard Industries - Atomarine - Applied Electrodynamics - Nori Robotics - Exosat - Egoist

Nori’s SDKs are now open! pip install nori-sdk and you can drive a full robot session in minutes. Python: pypi.org/project/nori-sdk/ github.com/Nori-Robotics/nor… Typescript: github.com/Nori-Robotics/Nor… Wire protocol both are conformance tested against: github.com/Nori-Robotics/Nor… Apache-2.0.

Test out our robot!
A cute little browser kinematic viewer I threw together. running WebGL with multi-cam views, TAA, SSAO and more composer/post processing passes than really necessary. sub 250 draw calls per moving frame. still at lab.norirobotics.com/nori/mo…

How do we feel about the white torso on the @NoriRobotics A3? It’s not dead btw, just sleeping 😴 – at San Francisco, CA

test out Nori online! lab.norirobotics.com/nori/mo…
In the spirit of keeping Nori open and dev friendly -- here is an early release of our URDF. It's ready for visualization, VR, IK, and other kinematic work (camera sim and perfect physics-accuracy coming later). More sim tools coming to the Nori app soon.
