About Moby
Moby is Noble Machines’ legged industrial robot and the development platform behind its current general-purpose robotics system. The approximately 72-kilogram machine was engineered for omnidirectional walking, steep slopes, debris, narrow passages and changing payloads, with a demonstrated carrying capacity of about 27 kilograms.
A unified onboard control system uses a single NVIDIA Jetson computer for actuator control, perception, navigation and learned mobility. Newer Moby configurations add manipulation for material induction and transfer, with task models trained from demonstrations and improved through supervised intervention. Noble offers selected platform access and limited robot-as-a-service pilots for construction, manufacturing, energy and other heavy-industry workflows.
