How is teleoperation anything more than a glorified puppet master pulling the strings or a radio controlled toy car?

Re: Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development
#22I'm confused, is this a research device, hobby/tinker item, or consumer product? I don't mean to be negative, but making a sustainable business on a hardware race to the bottom sounds challenging. I'd be curious to to know from others here, what in-home tasks do people think they'll really be able to automate with any of the various bimanual or humanoid robot platforms that seem to be going around?
Nothing, none of these are good enough to do any home tasks reliably. These are all research/hobbyist devices that won't be interesting for another 5-10 years. Probably a bunch of fun to play around with though.

#231. Does this require internet connectivity? If Nori goes out of business, can we keep using these? 2. Is the app distributed as an APK outside of the Play Store? Does it have any hard requirements on GMS that would prevent users of degoogled devices from using it? 3. Is every function available through the app possible to perform or recreate with the open SDK? Is this robot (now, and in the future) going to be access…

#24Can you speak to the tradeoffs of high ratio servers vs QDD motors? Is it power or long term life?
I can see me doing so many things with this.

#25Can it climb stairs on a multi level house?

#26A robot can reasonably cost $5000, don't break your back or your health.

#27Why would you price your hardware so low? if this is as good as a customer would imagine, pricing should start around $20,000.

Based on the video evidence with the eyes widening down the page I suspect that this robot can do that for you. I think if it rotated that wrist-cam around to be on top that it can even simulate flipping them off with the other hand. Legendary!
