For those who want to learn something about the product before forking out $20k (or $500/mo), there's a product info page here: https://www.1x.tech/discover/neo-home-robot

What they show is so far ahead of what other robots can do right now, esp in aggregate of everything it can do. There is not a lot of probability that this robot will deliver on its promises. That would be a major steppig stone, possibly worthy of a Noble Prize for someone.

I personallly would -not- want an alpha / re alpha large robot roaming my house. If it hullicinates or a horrible bug a lot of things could get destroyed in a hurry.

This feels like like Musks promises of a fully autonomous self driving car.

I'm not sure these are autonomous. I think these might be just remote puppets tied to a human operating them.

I want to believe its true, but this seems like quite a leap forward, at that price point. Even without AI, would we know if the videos were just a person in a suit?

It's mainly operated by a remote worker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3c4mQty_so

It was the first thing I also thought, but then I thought that would be ridiculous. But now I watched this video. And in fact, it's actually currently completely operated remotely. With the idea that they'll collect the human operated movements as training data for de AI. But right now they say the robot can autonomously only open a door.

So if you get the product now, then when the robot is operating, there's basically an extra person in your home.

You can apparentlty choose when it operates, and you can also block certain spaces in your house from the robot able to reach it. But it does feel to me like a recipe for disasters.

The leap is not really there yet and it's cheap because you are the product. The robot will be a massive headache, will work poorly for most tasks, frequently break and require maintenance. In exchange for $500/mo and providing those test hours in a novel environment and the data that goes with it, you get to have a robot in your house that occasionally does something right. The bet being made here is that they can turn that data hose into a useful robot before this poor customer experience tanks their brand.

The part of the video showing the robot putting glasses in the upper cabinet. It is something normal for humans, but it felt scary watching it being done by that robot. Maybe it was how it was handling the glass, maybe another kind of uncanny valley, or how I think present software should handle that task today. But I don't think it is ready yet to match our expectations.

The issue is might be the latency with teleop, by the time the operator realizes the glass is about to tip over, it's probably already fallen on the floor. So the robot can really only do one object at a time, and has to move about awkwardly. I do like all the ideas though, I hope they can get it to a polished state.

Pre-order?

If a company needs pre-orders in this business, they probably lack enough funding to play.

Is this thing vastly more anatomically correct than most humanoids? Thumbs are opposable, finger roots are somewhat more behind than most, has shoulders(at all), torso has at least pitch in the middle, etc etc. I don't know if it matters, but that looks cool to me.

Anatomically correct and programmed with multiple techniques?

Will cats scratch it?

They'll either run in fear or destroy it.

The hardware design seems to be quite good. The reality to me, there's no way they have a good LLM that wouldnt need correction every 30 seconds. Maybe in a few years they'll get there but they will eventually.
