A San Francisco woman has given a glimpse of what home cleaning could look like in the age of humanoid robots after hiring one for $30 an hour to work inside her apartment.
Gianna Capezio booked a one-hour cleaning visit from San Francisco startup Tau Robotics, with the humanoid robot vacuuming, making her bed and cleaning her bathroom during the session.
The robot was not operating autonomously.
A trained human operator controlled it remotely through its cameras, with artificial intelligence assisting the system.
Capezio said the robot was slower than a human cleaner but still did a solid job and she did not have to redo its work afterwards.
