Unfortunately, the only robots available will be connected to the cloud, paid by subscription, and will gather a continuous feed of audio-video data from you and your home. And sometimes it will be teleoperated, and you might not know when.
I'd rather do my own cleanup, personally.
- Ifkaluva 5mo agoI bet China will race to the bottom with cheap versions. 3D printers and LLMs, next home robots
- progval 5mo agoSome of them will be paid by subscription and have ads
- dogcomplex 5mo agoWhy would consumers settle for that? Local models have scaled quite quickly. Just pair the bot with a LAN server as the brain that keeps all your data private. Barring that, choose bots that use Zero Knowledge Proof architectures for all data so you know there's no in/out of personal data, only security proofs. This makes rental robots certifiably private too.
- Becuase 5mo agoThey've settled for that in: * Phones * Cars * Robotic Vacuums * Kitchen Appliances * Televisions * Home Lighting * Home security systems, doorbells, and locks * Web browsers * Operating Systems So, uh, yeah, I'm pretty confident users will settle for that in robots too.
- tintor 5mo agoCloud connected (robot AI in cloud) home robots would be very unsafe, due to network slowdown/outages. Imagine it freezing/stopping right after it turns on water faucet or stovetop.
