Unlike legged humanoids, R-noid uses a holonomic wheeled base with dual 7-DOF arms and reaches nearly two metres vertically. It runs on Physical Intelligence's vision-language-action AI model and uses FieldAI for navigation. Fewer than 40 units are deployed across about a dozen customers so far, with one disclosed site at a New York golf course. Deployment takes 8–12 weeks and requires up to 50 hours of data collection per task, with ~70% autonomy expected at launch. The company positions R-noid as a task-specific tool rather than a general-purpose humanoid, targeting five initial use cases: restaurant assistant, packer, picker, folder, and host. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
