I'd love to own one of these! It could fold my laundry while I'm busy working from home as a teleoperator for Weave Robots.
They charge you for the privilege of folding your own laundry. Brilliant.

#322027 will be the year of the robots. I also saw Tesla is ramping up to make millions of Optimus robots. And Amazon bought Fauna robotics which I predict we will start seeing "last 100 ft" deliveries soon. Amazon's Rivian packmobile will pull up to a block and 5 Fauna robots (they are short) will jump out and start delivering packages to the neighborhood. The robots are coming...
Do we have any evidence that Tesla is actually working on manufacturing millions of robots?

#33So you will have low-paid Africans from 3rd world countries tele-operating a robots in rich peoples houses doing chores?

#34> The company says the robot completes Laundry Flow and Daily Reset tasks autonomously by default, but uses teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee task completion. Suspiciously absent: a rough idea of what percentage of tasks need the assistance.
Same, I suspect its awful and their strategy is to improve and rely less on it, which would be fine to me if they'd be transparent about it.
Can't wait for the Uber version, where anyone with five minutes to spare can fold your laundry from their home.

#35Feels like they cloned the vacuum cleaner Roborock Saros Z70, and attached the arms to a pole instead of the base. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/x9TdqrvDHWY Especially the arm clamp is the same shape, the actions are practically the same (take object and put in basket, teleoperation with live camera). The type of thing you have lot of fun for 5 minutes. Cheaper Unitree robots that starts at 4,900 USD are impressive…
You can, but who are you to stop people that don't trust a human to not steal their shit so would rather have a remote controlled robot do it though?

#36When comes to lower part it’s always bipedal (hard to balance) or wheels (low capabilities). Why no one makes 4-6 legs, insect like? That seems like an easier problem to solve while gives much better mobility.
They make robot dogs, e.g. famously Boston Dynamics but many others as well. And 6 is probably overkill for price/performance increase incremental to 4. Wheels are still much more practical and you can use them as feet in hybrid designs to be able to step over obstacles but still more agile than comparable bi/quadrupeds

#37The first thing that jumped out at me is its form factor. It is easier to engineer (cheaper) and less threatening than a bipedal robot. The drawback, of course, is that it is less mobile.

Thanks! This should be the link, or to their announcement.
The article page on runtimewire is slop with a lot of distracting design elements and even a “WHY IT MATTERS” title, which is just cringe.

#39I mean its a start to getting something to market? It just looks way behind the chinese models that are being delivered.

Exactly. With special safeguards to prevent them from "exfiltrating" any of your property or information with the help of accomplices on the ground, online services, or other clever hacks.
