> For any chore it doesn’t know, you can schedule a 1X Expert to guide it, helping NEO learn while getting the job done. 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.

Seems like a way to get non-citizen day laborers at super low rates without the liability.

I’m wondering how this thing will age. Will the cloth end up getting oil and soil stains and taking on a funk?

Per the keynote video, the bodysuit is machine washable. As long as 1X stays in business or enthusiasts exist, I have to imagine there will be some option to clean/replace the head covering on the $20,000 robot.

Can it wash its own bodysuit?

Will it wash itself? Would be totally ironic if we had to strip the robot of its clothes and wash it :)

I just think about how things are when they are brand new versus their in-use appearance.

Think about a MacBook that’s a couple of years old. Glossy letters on the keycaps, a couple of sneeze splatters on the screen, some cosmetic scratches.

I super duper don’t want to watch it crawl out of its own skin thank you very much for that offer.

Looks like a Dr Who villain and a Bluetooth speaker had a baby.

I read your comment before seeing the robot and that blank stare from those beady eyes made me lose it. Truly it does look like that.

You just know it's going to creep up on you slowly, then every time you turn around it's slightly closer to you - yet completely still.

Just in time for Halloween nightmares!!!!!!!!

Imagine being a kid and waking up to this sitting in your room, silently watching you sleep.

Imagine how terrified your dog is going to be of this thing, shuffling around or getting stuck with its foot on the edge of a rug.

Imagine finding it going through your underwear drawer when you come home from work early.
