Robot.com Released Wheeled Humanoid Robot “R-noid”
On June 22, Robot.com (formerly the delivery robot company Kiwibot) unveiled the “R-noid” wheeled humanoid robot at the Automate 2026. Key specifications include a legless design with an omnidirectional wheeled base, dual arms each featuring 7 degrees of freedom, a single-arm payload capacity of approximately 4 kg, and a 3-hour battery life. The product centers on a “Robot-as-a-Service” (RaaS) model, with a deployment timeline—from site assessment to autonomous operation—ranging from just 8 to 12 weeks. Fewer than 40 units have been commercially deployed, serving around a dozen customers; the key selling point isn’t technical showmanship but rather renting out the humanoid robot on a monthly basis—treating it like a worker selling man-hours—with a strategy focused on “doing the heavy lifting first and generating rental revenue immediately.”
Moon Dynamics Unveiled Heavy-Duty Wheeled-Bipedal Humanoid Robot L1
On June 23, Moon Dynamics officially launched the L1, the world’s first heavy-duty wheeled-bipedal humanoid robot. It features the systematic application of “Reduced-order Models” to robot locomotion and is positioned as a “physical translator” for Physical AI. The robot’s mid-level whole-body control system operates at a frequency of 1,000Hz, enabling it to stably ascend slopes while carrying a 20kg material bin. It can also perform gripping and placement tasks at heights of up to 1.8 meters with a 20kg load, making it suitable for industrial palletizing and material loading stations. The L1 is Moon Dynamics’s first market-ready product; future plans involve expanding the robot’s capabilities from heavy-duty industrial material handling to complex, dexterous manipulation and broader commercial and domestic applications.
