Why we built Ronin

We've had machines that think for decades.
It's time for one that does.

Teaching

Show it what you want.It picks it up over time.

A kinematically matched controller. Move it, Ronin moves the same way. The more demonstrations you give, the better it gets.

Everyday work

An extra pair of hands.
Starting with the small things.

Fold and stack

Towels, clothes, linens

Show it the fold. It repeats.

Sort and organize

Different objects, different bins

It learns which goes where.

Stack and arrange

Precise placement

Position objects exactly where they need to go.

Sort from a pile

Mixed in, sorted out

Reaches into a bin of mixed items and puts each one in the right place.

Pick and place

Handles the unexpected

Interrupt it, move the object, it recovers and finishes the job.

Collect and bin

Pick items up, drop them in

One item at a time, into the container.

What's included

Built to work
beside you.

Everything you need to start teaching your first task. Ronin, matched controller, standard grippers, software, and docs. One kit.

01 Head

Perception head

Stereo vision, speaker and mic array, and expressive lighting in a single module.

02 Neck

3-DoF active neck

Fluid range of motion so Ronin can track what you're doing and where.

03 Arms

Two 7-DoF arms

04 Controller

Teaching controller

Matched teleoperation unit included. Move it, Ronin moves the same way.

05 Grippers

Why Ronin

Own it, shape it

Your robot, your skills, your way of doing things.

Gets better over time

Every demonstration makes it more capable. The more you show, the more it handles on its own.

Open software stack

Full SDK. LeRobot and OpenPI compatible. Plug into the tools you already know.

Ronin ships with standard grippers.
RoninHand is sold separately as a future upgrade.

What's next

RoninHand.
A hand for the tasks that need one.

A sixteen-degree-of-freedom hand for the work that needs real fingers. Currently in development. Planned as a future option.

FAQ

What is the alpha program?

The first batch of Ronin ships as an alpha program. Every unit comes with hands-on engineering support from the Polymorph team, a direct line to us through deployment, and a seat at the table for what we build next. Whether you're a lab, a team, or an individual, you get the same support.

What's included?

Ronin humanoid robot, matched teaching controller, standard grippers, software, open SDK, and full documentation. Alpha partners also get hands-on engineering support from the Polymorph team during deployment.

How much does it cost?

$6,999 USD for the full kit: robot, matched teaching controller, standard grippers, software, and hands-on engineering support from our team during deployment.

When does Ronin ship?

The first batch ships in 2026. Alpha partners get units in the order they joined. Joining early means a lower position in the queue and more time to work with the team before launch.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You teach Ronin by showing it what you want using the matched teaching controller. No programming required. The SDK is open and documented if you want to go deeper, and our team is available to help.

Is my deposit refundable?

Yes. Your $200 deposit is fully refundable until your unit ships. No fine print.

Does Ronin come with onboard computing?

You bring your own computer. Ronin works with a standard laptop or desktop. Recommended setups are in the documentation, and we'll help alpha partners pick the right configuration.

What about RoninHand?

RoninHand is a sixteen-degree-of-freedom dexterous hand currently in development. Planned as a future option for Ronin. Standard grippers are included with every Ronin, and the platform also supports community-developed open-source grippers.

The first batch

Be among the first
to bring one home.

The first batch ships as an alpha program. A small group of partners getting the hardware along with hands-on engineering support, a direct line to the team, and a say in what we build next. Open to researchers, labs, teams, and anyone who wants to be part of the early story.
