I don't think this or the other competitor announced last year will ever ship, or if they do, they'll quickly go out of business. There's no real product there.

It is not really much different than paying for cleaning, the cleaning person also sees inside of house.
they don't record everything and store it on a company's servers somewhere where it is used for who knows what.
as an aside, a human that I hire can do a much wider range of tasks than a robot PLUS it is income for a family.

Is that really a concern? Pretty much any robovac nowadays has a camera and a wireless connection to the cloud and nobody seems to care.

I don't care if nobody else cares, but I care. If someone crafted a home/garden robot that is fully autonomous using local AI or something like that then I'd be interested.

Manipulating soft bodies is exceptionally difficult to do with robotics. moving a soft object from a to b is doable, folding/separating/sorting at any kind of speed is very much an area of active research.
Totally agree but the idea is this gives you a teleoperation environment that is truly on policy and not some artificial lab. The idea is that these robots, like those Amazon stores, are predominantly just controlled by actual humans.
Yeah but if it’s a person seeing inside my home I would rather it be the same person over and over and without cameras.
Teleoperated robots are a better fit for businesses and public spaces

Offline and autonomous or never in my house.

#326"Constantly improving"
This means "constant forced software updates with the potential to brick the product." Just like Nest.
Also likely: Inadequate security so your robot becomes a node in a residential VPN or a botnet. Or some hacker takes over your robot to scope out the interior of your house and sells that info to burglars on the darknet. Or to ICE.
And you know what cannot be improved with software? Sensors. Like the kind in its fingertips that almost certainly are not good enough to allow it to fold laundry reliably.

It's not slavery when you get paid for it and can quit
Slaves generally get room and board, and always have the opportunity to quit (although the other option is often death, so slavery is preferable.) I'm not trying to be facetious, I'm trying to tell you that your criteria are not meaningful, and you're pretending like they're obvious. It's why many US slaves moved directly from slavery into sharecropping for the same masters. The only thing that changed was the paperw…
A sustained societal and legal system designed to curtail the rights of blacks is similar to slavery. Having a job is not.

How about sensory feedback loops?
