Does that mean some random human looking at my dirty laundry in the middle of my home, the most intimate place in existence for me? No thank you.
> 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.
When 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.
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.
Once again, the text is riddled with LLM'isms. Is this the new norm nowadays? Looking at OP's submission history, it's evident that they are utilizing HN for SEO farming.
A much more valuable discussion would be centered around the company's own website, which contains the same information, and doesn't require an LLM mediator: https://www.weaverobotics.com/isaac-1
Surrogate slavery is going to be a large business one day.
If you are telling me that one day I'll have a robot that cooks, cleans, is a personal assistant, a therapist. Eventually it'll be a chauffeur, babysitter, and obviously sex slave.
Why wouldn't i pay 50000 for that, besides the obvious "you are a creep" like why do I care when it's coming and market forces are going to make it an indistinguishable substitute human a la Joi from blade runner?

Used to be called "a wife", before emancipation.
Seriously though, the future is made of human beings more and more isolated from each other because technology will give us all that we used to get from other people, with none of the annoyances. Each the king or queen of their solipsistic kingdom.
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.

Everything about this product looks terrible.
Must operate on a perfectly flat surface. My roomba could probably handle a larger carpet curb than that top-heavy thing.
Head and eyes appear to be at human crotch level for some reason... gross.
What a waste of engineering talent.

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.
So you will have low-paid Africans from 3rd world countries tele-operating a robots in rich peoples houses doing chores?
Teleoperation looks like a great business opportunity. Hire voyeurs for cheap and sell to exhibitionists.
Connecting voyeurs and exhibitionists is already a great business idea - don’t know why we need to add robots to the mix.
That business idea is already taken. It’s OnlyFans and it has more revenue than a top 10 company on the US stock market.
This will clean a home while the owner is away and be a teledildonics platform while they're home.

Entomophobia/arachnophobia is far too common for giant bug-like robots in folks' bedrooms.
2027 will be the year of the robots.

The robots are coming...
Do we have any evidence that Tesla is actually working on manufacturing millions of robots?

RadioShack where are you, you should be selling these.
Feels like they cloned the vacuum cleaner Roborock Saros Z70, and attached the arms to a pole instead of the base.

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 in comparison.
Quite ridiculous. For 449 USD / month couldn't you just hire someone to clean your whole place and even sort your clothes, empty the trash, etc ?> a Weave specialist
Lol. Folding engineer.
I wonder how this thing would hold up against a dog
No legs? Call it what it is: Dalek
Indeed - I look forward to the spa version of this that runs around yelling "Exfoliate!, Exfoliate!" : )

Because your sex slave uses teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee task completion?
Is "task completion" an euphemism for "happy ending"?
The cylinder must not be harmed.
That's gonna be a bonus for some people.
Someone or thing to help with chores would be great.
But abject exploitation? Sex slave, even? I should hope we can find a little decency within ourselves..

Could it become true ?
Well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_fetishism we live in the future already
