Noble Machines Moby
A rugged, "anti-human" industrial humanoid from ex-Apple/SpaceX/NASA engineers, built to shoulder ~23 kg loads up stairs and scaffolding on the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs factories cannot automate.

Dexterous hands included
Ships with dexterous multi-fingered hands described as roughly 10 DOF across the hands (reported as 10 fingers/10 hand DOF by one spec aggregator), and the company also references swappable modular end-effectors so tooling can be matched to the industrial task (tool manipulation, grasping on scaffolding and cluttered terrain).

Reality check
This is not a robot you can buy: it is an early-stage enterprise pilot platform sold through direct sales and Robot-as-a-Service, with published specs still partial and figures like payload and price varying by source, so budget for a negotiated deployment engagement, not a fixed sticker price.
Can you get one, and what will it cost?

You cannot order the Noble Machines Moby today: it is b2b only.
Sold only to enterprise/industrial customers, not to consumers or individual developers. Noble Machines offers two engagement models: a platform license with software toolkits, and a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) pilot. Everything routes through a "Contact Us" sales conversation. First units were deployed to an unnamed Fortune Global 500 customer within 18 months of the company launching.

Price notes: No official list price. Noble Machines publishes no price and routes buyers through a sales contact and a Robot-as-a-Service pilot model. A third-party aggregator (humanoid.guide) lists an indicative ~$75,000 USD figure, but it flags the unit as a "prototype" not available for retail purchase, so treat that number as an unconfirmed estimate rather than a quoted price. Enterprise RaaS/pilot pricing is negotiated per deployment.

What it does on day onewith zero programming
Because Moby is an enterprise pilot platform rather than a shelf product, "out of the box" means a supervised deployment: after task setup via language instructions and physical demonstrations, it performs whole-body industrial work such as lifting loads up to about 23-27 kg, walking, and navigating stairs, scaffolding, inclines and cluttered non-uniform / outdoor terrain. It is not a plug-in-and-walk consumer robot, and it does not do arbitrary tasks with zero configuration.
Best for: Enterprise manufacturing, logistics, construction, energy, mining and semiconductor operators piloting humanoid labor for hazardous, physically demanding "4D" (dull, dirty, dangerous, declining) tasks on real industrial terrain.
What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access
Aimed at industrial deployment teams, not hobbyist developers. Uses Linux/Ubuntu with ROS, and Noble Machines provides its own whole-body-control and learning stack built on the NVIDIA Isaac platform with Real2Sim/Sim2Real training loops (reported ~95% sim-to-real transfer success). New skills are taught through language-based instructions, physical demonstrations and gestures rather than low-level programming, but access is through an enterprise platform/RaaS engagement, not a public SDK download.
SDK access: Runs Linux/Ubuntu + ROS on a single NVIDIA Jetson Orin. The learning/control software is Noble Machines' proprietary end-to-end autonomy stack (NVIDIA Isaac based, Real2Sim/Sim2Real). Customers get "software toolkits" via the platform engagement; there is no publicly documented open SDK, and multi-modal teaching (language, demonstration, gesture) is the primary way to add skills.
