I don't like the direction this is going in - so a third party is going to be able to control a robot in my house?
we shouldn't aim for economies of scale on this problem as there are massive negative externalities attached to it. Hopefully, a chinese lab will release an open source version soon.
What do you mean by "negative externality" in this case?
Xiaomi-Robotics-1
SaaS -> RaaS ?
how are you going to afford a house when you're competing against $3.00 hr labor?
Unironically there's lots of companies who will clean your house for free right now, but their staff get to wear cameras while they do it. People dont seem to care.
I’m sure once this category has traction and investments coming there will be open source models too.
