Is this a humanoid robot that's controlled by someone in a call center remotely doing your laundry?

Putting aside ethical reservations about how much they are probably paying per task, that feels like wash and fold with extra steps.

Cleaning robots are pretty good, and it's mostly a solved problem, for an order of magnitude (almost 2) under this price point. What else are we getting AT BEST beside taking out the trash and gimmicks?

No one is going to put a wig on their roomba though.

I'd expect it to be a training session with admin privileges. Similar to a robot vacuum learning the layout of the house and mapping maybe? Just with added steps based on where the washing machine, detergent etc are located.

Sounds like it's remote-controlled if it can't perform some task and that it should learn to do it after being remote-controlled.

20,000 and a $500 monthly subscription? Am I reading that right? Or is $500 a month an alternate leasing option?

You choose one or the other

In this case, if you needed this for whatever reason, I suspect the lease makes sense to not get stuck with a Gen1 product after the same cost point of 40 months.

IDK, this is not a problem I need to concern myself with. I’m clearly not the target demographic.
