01
Build it.
Simple assembly, no hardware experience needed. If you can follow IKEA instructions, you can build this.
noriL1A platform, not a robot.
Tell your robot what to do in plain English or Python. An LLM breaks commands into steps, learned policies move the arms, a vision model checks if it worked. Set schedules: coffee at 7am, clean the table when you leave. Publish skills to a shared registry. Every robot on the platform makes every other robot smarter.
nori.do("make me coffee at 7am")Three steps.
02
Train it.
Show the robot a task 50 times with leader-follower arms. It learns in hours on a single GPU.
03
Code it.
Python, natural language, or cron triggers. You write the logic, the robot does the work.
One Unitree G1 costs $16,000.
For the same money you could buy 17 NORI L1s.

This isn't for everyone.
You need to know how to code.
If you can vibe code with Claude or Cursor, you can program NORI. If you have never written a line of code, this is not for you yet.
You do NOT need hardware experience.
If you can follow IKEA instructions, you can assemble this. No soldering, no wiring diagrams, no EE degree.
