About Noble Machines
Noble Machines builds a bipedal industrial humanoid designed to carry loads while walking through spaces that cannot be reduced to flat factory aisles. Its current platform has modular end effectors, a stated 23 kg payload, about five hours of battery life and a walking speed of 0.8 metres per second. The robot is designed for stairs, scaffolding, unstable ground and clutter, supporting inspection, data capture, material handling and sorting across construction, energy, logistics and manufacturing sites.
A single NVIDIA Jetson Orin runs the onboard drivers, safety states, perception and model-inference stack. Noble trains whole-body policies in Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim, then feeds field data back into the pipeline so the controller can adapt to terrain, payload and hardware variation. The machine can operate autonomously or under teleoperation for expert intervention. Formerly Under Control Robotics, the company delivered its first platform in October 2025 and announced a first deployment with a Fortune Global 500 industrial customer in March 2026.
