I was expecting to be disappointed at seeing another humanoid robot that can fold laundry BS startup.

But it looks like they're trying to build something that is actually useful.

I just found out about them. To me it seems their core product is "boring" industrial robots with some AI fluff on top, which imho is smart because you can capaitalize on the hype without having it be pivotal to their entire business model. What I find interesting is the robot-as-a-service model.

folding laundry is not useful?

I assume you got a spouse or parent do all the laundry for you? I’m not sure you realize how spoiled you sound.

Seriously a laundry folding robot excites me much more than a CLI that can generate code. I enjoy generating code myself! I don’t enjoy laundry. Total killer app.
