The legal implications are terrifying. If a remote operator uses the robot to commit a crime or cause serious damage, the legal liability is completely unclear. It's a legal minefield.
The constant human supervision is a deal-breaker. I was sold on the idea of an AI robot, not a person in a VR headset doing my chores for me. That's a service, not a product.
Hope it integrates well with other smart devices. For it to be a true home assistant, it needs to be able to interact seamlessly with my existing thermostat, security system, and TV.
The subscription is a better deal. I might be willing to pay the $499/month subscription for a few months to try it out, but I'm never dropping $20K upfront on an unproven product.
The ability to recharge itself is vital. It being able to walk to a standard wall outlet and plug itself in is a small but crucial detail for a truly autonomous device.
The ultimate vision is amazing. Imagine it eventually learning to cook, tidy, and run errands. If this is the start of that, it's worth following closely.
I prefer a robot vacuum and a human maid. For $20,000 or $500 a month, I can get a top-tier Roomba and hire a cleaner for a year. The value proposition is not there yet.
The quiet operation is a huge plus for a home. A loud, clunky robot would be annoying. The 22 dB noise level makes it a much better fit for a peaceful home environment.
The conversational LLM is a great feature. Having an assistant I can talk to naturally while it's physically working is the dream. That conversational AI component is a huge plus.
A necessary evil for training the AI. I understand the need for teleoperation to gather data. It's a temporary, but necessary, step to get to a truly autonomous robot. I accept the 'social contract.'

A huge step for the future of home robotics. I'm pre-ordering this immediately. The potential for a real, helpful humanoid assistant outweighs the current limitations. This is a first-generation product and I'm excited to be an early adopter.
The $200 deposit is a low-risk bet on the future. Putting down a small deposit to secure a place in line for the first wave of a revolutionary product seems like a reasonable gamble.

Impressed by the tendon-drive system. The soft, fluid movement shown in the videos is a huge engineering achievement. It makes it safe and approachable in a home environment.
Gimmick for YouTubers and wealthy people. This isn't aimed at the average household. It's a flashy gadget for early adopters to get content from and for 1X to gather training data from, period.

I'll believe the autonomy when I see it. The video showing it opening a door on its own is not enough proof. I need a lot more autonomous demonstrations before I trust it.
Not worth the risk of a data breach. The thought of all that highly sensitive home environment data stored on a corporate server is a massive security risk. No matter how much they encrypt it, it's a huge target.
