alt Hacker NewsWhat breaks?
I am trying to understand in your view what are the parts that actually breaks and what kind of improvement we would need.

Not an expert on this.
Passing on what I have heard from robotics researchers at lunch conversations.
My impression is that any moving part that is not an electric motor or an hinge breaks.
Robot vacuums are massively simpler and they fucking break all the time. Wheel motors or their position sensors, belts, plastic gears, contacts that corrode, a circuit board someone decided to not comformally coat and a cat puked on it...
