Okay 8000 is a lot, but people take 3 or more times bigger loans to buy some shitty metal boxes on wheels

In vacuum it seems stupidly expensive, but honestly I'd almost want this with a 2k car than just a 10k car

But of course, this robot probably stops working the second the manufacturer's servers go down, or they decide it's no longer to maintain it. And all the sensor data is sent to Thiel or some other dickhead

Isaac 1's capabilities are grouped by feature area:

Laundry Flow — Isaac 1 handles much of the laundry cycle for you:

Finds and picks up dirty clothes

Handles loaded hampers

Folds and puts clothes away

Daily Reset — Isaac 1 resets your rooms so you come back to spaces ready to be lived in:

Makes beds

Fixes pillows and blankets

Puts kids' and pets' toys, shoes, and clutter back where they belong

Depending on the home in question, Isaac 1 may be able to help with even more within each feature area (such as loading and unloading clothes from washer/dryer machines). No matter what, Isaac 1 grows more capable over time as we roll out improvements over the air.

I thought "there's no way this thing can make a bed autonomously" and behold, I was correct:

Isaac 1 is autonomous for Laundry Flow and Daily Reset by default, with teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee we complete tasks.

So... a person is controlling the robot that makes the bed?

At least some of the time

This is so Musky. Pay now for features that may appear.

It seems that the people at Weave Robotics haven't seen the 2004 film I, Robot and it shows

Can you program it to roll the into room when you’re whacking off and look at you disdainfully, before swivelling 180 degrees and rolling out again?

This is what robotics and automation were meant for. Give me a building with a bunch of these for a cool laundromat.

Not sure who started using the term, colorway, in marketing, but they need to be thrown head first into a pit of hot diarrhea.
