Maybe robots don't need legs or fingers to do laundry — Weave Robotics Isaac 1 isn't pretty or super-humanoid, but it might be ready to handle basic chores

Weave Robotics has opened pre-orders for the Isaac 1, a $7,999 wheeled home robot that handles laundry, bed-making, and clutter cleanup without legs or human-like hands — just orange claws. Cheaper and steadier than bipedal competitors priced at $12,000–$20,000, it navigates homes autonomously via a smartphone app. California deliveries begin in September, with a $449 monthly subscription option available.
