Børnich admitted that much of the work will be done by teleoperators in the beginning. Owners will have access to an app where they can schedule when the teleoperator can take over NEO and where they can specify the task they want the machine to do.
Those teleoperators are gonna see a LOT of dicks.
opening doors, fetching items and turning the lights on or off
That’s worthless.

I got rid of Microsoft, getting rid of Google and dozens of other surveillance aggregators. Why would I want this?
The idea is dead on arrival. Except maybe for a few very specific circumstances.
Why would I want this?
Bold of you to assume there aren’t plenty of folks out there willing to overlook any potential privacy concerns for their very own ‘robot’ butler.
Why not just, you know, employ an actual human to do your chores in the first place? It’ll almost certainly be a lot cheaper than this clanker…
Besides, there’s no guarantee that those teleoperators won’t be literal slaves.
AI exists to isolate the worker from their labor, and for people in power to avoid accountability by creating new layers of plausible deniability.
Because this is much easier to exploit than people you have to pay fairly. Sad, but very true.
Like everything else in America the value of capital is the only thing that matters! See the healthcare system as it is right now if you need proof of that.
Someone thought: “People keep playing video games where they do chores, what’s the next step…?”
You could earn money by renting renting out your robot to let people power wash your driveway remotely
Nice, looking forward to the day when I can get one that runs 100% locally. Not sure if it would be cost effective to hire someone to come in my home to operate the thing vs. just hiring a maid service, though.
I’m just surprised that it seems relatively cheap. Not to me personally, mind you, but I would expect something like this that’s actually decent quality to cost somewhere more like 100k.
I’d only buy a robomaid if it’s 100% wireless.
