Description
At just 100 cm tall and 20 kg, Dora is designed to share tight indoor spaces with people. Despite its compact frame, it delivers 120 N·m peak joint torque and walks stably over grass, snow or stairs at 1 m s⁻¹ (3.6 km h⁻¹), making it agile enough for household errands or classroom demos.
The core platform offers 20 degrees of freedom – 4 per arm and 6 per leg—supporting anthropomorphic walking, straight-leg strides and obstacle-clearance gaits. Users who need manipulation can swap the default “ball-hand” for an 11-DOF dexterous gripper pair, raising total DOF to 26 and enabling 5 kg pick-and-place tasks.
Three structured-light depth cameras (two down-slanted, one forward) feed millimetre-grade 3-D perception, while an NVIDIA Jetson Orin (8 GB, 40 TOPS) module runs reinforcement-learning locomotion, voice control and vendor-promised LLM speech-and-vision chat. A 7-inch front display, six-mic array and speaker round out human-robot interaction.
Noetix positions Dora for family chores, STEM education and light elder-care support. The fully electric drivetrain keeps maintenance low, and the company is already taking purchase enquiries as it scales production. With its sub-child size, safety-first payload and open AI stack, Dora aims to be an affordable entry point into embodied intelligence for homes and businesses alike.
