Orio is the robot you just talk to. Ask for something by name and it finds it and answers out loud. Carrying things between rooms, keeping watch while you’re out and calling for help are planned, pending approval.
How it sees the room and finds what you named, to the millimetre.
Where Orio looks back at you while you talk to it.
How it gets around. Moving between rooms is pending approval.
Orio is a small wheeled robot with two arms, a camera and a voice. Everything it does starts with you saying what you want.
No app to learn and no commands to memorise. Ask in plain words, in English, Hindi or German, and Orio answers out loud.
Ask for the thing by name, not the shelf it lives on. It recognises objects nobody trained it on.
Take something from one room to another: you say where it goes and Orio takes it. Which kinds of items it can carry is still being defined.
Out for the day? Drive Orio through your home from your phone and see what it sees, instead of a camera stuck in one corner.
One spoken word, or a fall it sees by itself, and Orio alerts the people you choose, with where in the home it happened.
These run on Orio’s prototype in our lab today: how you wake it, how it sees, how it keeps clear of things and how you stay in charge. The last, finding its way round your home, is pending approval.
Say “Hey Orio” and it starts listening. Ask in plain words and it answers out loud, while its face looks back at you. Until you call it, it waits: the app shows its voice as asleep.
A stereo depth camera in its head gives Orio a live view and the distance to everything in it. Ask for something by name and it looks for it, with no training on that object first.
A lidar at its base scans all the way round. The app shows how far the nearest thing is in each direction ahead, so Orio knows what is in the way before it moves.
STOP is on screen whenever the app is open. Press it mid-move and Orio halts where it is, and logs that it did.
What Orio is doing, whether it is listening, who is driving and which sensors are healthy, refreshed every couple of seconds. Every command is logged with its result.
As it moves, Orio uses its lidar to build a map of your home and keep track of where it is on it, so it can go to a place you pick and come back. Outside, GPS tells it where it is.
Two ways of seeing, and its own way to reach you when it needs to.
A fixed camera shows you one corner of one room. Orio goes and looks. Take control from your phone, drive it through the flat, check on the dog or the stove, speak through it, then hand it back when you’re done.
Say the word and Orio alerts the contacts you choose, with the room it happened in and a live view they can open. It can also raise an alert by itself: a fall it sees, a person who doesn’t get up.
This is the part of a companion robot that has to work when nobody is watching, so it is the part we will hold longest before calling it done.
Orio alerts the people you choose. It is not a monitored alarm service and does not replace one.
A pre-order puts your name in the queue. Nothing is charged today: no deposit and no card. We’ll tell you the price before anything is due, and you can step back at any point before delivery by replying to us.
Pre-order OrioOrio runs Companion OS, the home edition of nex-ON, our embodied OS. nex-ON is the layer between an AI brain and a robot body: it hears you, finds the thing, plans the motion and tells you what it did. It already does that in our lab. The wheeled body is what we’re building now.
We would rather you pre-order knowing this than find it out later.
Delivery is planned from Q1 2028. Orio is in development today: the software it runs already works in our lab, and the wheeled body is being built now. Pre-ordering holds your place in the queue.
We haven't announced a price yet, and we won't quote one we might not hold. A pre-order costs nothing: no deposit and no card. You'll know the price before anything is due.
We're still defining which kinds of items Orio will carry, and we'd rather not list examples until that's settled. Carrying things from one room to another is also pending approval.
Yes. You can cancel a pre-order any time before delivery by replying to any of our emails.
English, Hindi and German. Each conversation is locked to one language, so a television or a conversation in another language in the room can't send it off on an errand.
No. Alerting the people you choose, when you ask or when it sees a fall, is planned and pending approval. Even then, Orio is not a monitored alarm service and does not replace one.
CozmoBot, in Wiesbaden. Orio runs nex-ON, the same software we deploy on robots in industry, with an edition built for the home.
Nothing is charged today, and you can cancel any time before delivery.
