RIO

OPEN-SOURCE AI DESKTOP ASSISTANT ROBOT

RIO combines robotic manipulation, spatial intelligence, and conversational AI to remember where objects belong, locate misplaced items, and retrieve them; helping people spend less time searching and more time creating.

BUILT FOR PHYSICAL REALITY.

Every electromechanical interface in RIO is engineered to remove conventional bottlenecks. From motor torque saturation curves to the local RTOS scheduling buses, computation is kept adjacent to the actuators to ensure deterministic reliability.
