I watched a humanoid robot clean my apartment. It felt like a taste of the future.
The report offers a candid look at the current limitations of household humanoid robotics and how startups are using subsidized, teleoperated services to collect the massive real-world datasets needed to train physical AI models.

What happened
A journalist tested a humanoid robot home-cleaning service in San Francisco operated by the startup Tau Robotics. Although the robots can vacuum and mop independently, they currently rely heavily on remote human teleoperation to perform complex tasks and gather real-world training data for future autonomous AI models.
