So, this robot, it's a 5'6, 66-lb
00:00:03
humanoid robot. It has a pair of eyes on
00:00:05
the front, which are camera sensors. It
00:00:06
has ears on the sides, which are
00:00:07
microphones. It has little lights where
00:00:09
the ears would be. It waters your
00:00:10
plants. It vacuums the floor. It takes
00:00:13
the laundry out. It folds it. It puts
00:00:14
stuff away. It does the dishes. It
00:00:16
cleans the toilet. It just lives at home
00:00:19
doing your chores. And then when it's
00:00:20
done, after the 4 hour battery life is
00:00:22
up, it walks back over to the charger,
00:00:24
plugs itself in, and docks. That is a
00:00:27
very cool idea. That being said, I also
00:00:30
watched a Joanna Stern video and she got
00:00:33
a demo in person of this robot. So, they
00:00:35
brought it to her. 100% of the things
00:00:38
that were happening in her demo time
00:00:40
were teley operated, operated by a guy
00:00:43
in another room with a VR headset and
00:00:45
controllers. They're selling the dream.
00:00:47
I think that the fully working, fully
00:00:50
autonomous robot where you leave home in
00:00:52
the morning and you come back at night
00:00:54
and everything is done and cleaned up
00:00:56
for you every day. you never have to
00:00:58
empty a dishwasher or do laundry ever
00:01:00
again. That dream is awesome and I think
00:01:04
a lot of people are buying that dream
00:01:07
and I have no problem with the price of
00:01:08
that dream. The problem I have is the
00:01:11
thing that they're selling is far from
00:01:13
that
