Comment by conductr | original | Weave Robotics launches Isaac 1, a $7,999 home robot with Fall 2026 deliveries

Given how incapable my robotic vacuums and lawnmowers have proven to be, even after several years of iterations, I’d almost prefer if it was all teleoperation and it would hopefully unlock a huge amount of additional tasks it could preform. This would essentially let me hire a human housekeeper at a global vs local wage which is very appealing.

The robot has a two pronged gripper. I wonder what teleoperating that to do complex tasks would be like.
