Nori Opens a Second Batch of Its $1,688 A3 Home Robot

Hardware

A3 is built around a wheeled base, an adjustable torso, and two articulated arms. Each arm has 7+1 degrees of freedom and can carry up to 1.5 kilograms, according to Nori.

The robot uses four 720p RGB cameras mounted on its grippers, head, and neck. A LiDAR sensor provides a 12-meter scanning range, while a microphone and speaker support spoken commands. Nori lists battery life at six to eight hours.

Nori's launch video shows A3 fetching a snack, operating a coffee machine, carrying a drink, following a room-tidying sequence, and assisting with food preparation. The demonstrations place the robot in an ordinary home rather than a staged industrial workspace.

Software

The Nori Lab laptop app is designed to train, operate, and manage the robot. Owners can teach routines at home, then package those routines as skills.

Nori is also building a Skills Marketplace where those learned behaviors can be shared with other A3 robots. The idea is that a useful routine taught in one home could be reused elsewhere without every owner starting from scratch.

Release Details

Nori lists A3 at $1,688, charged as the full price rather than a deposit. The company says the limited second batch will ship in fall 2026 and that units are assembled in San Francisco.

The exact batch size, ship date, first sales regions, warranty terms, and launch-day skill catalog have not been announced.

If Nori stays on schedule, customers should begin receiving A3 units this fall, giving the company its first broader test outside the demonstrations shown so far.
