Current obstacles
- Reliability and cost for consumersA home robot must be cheap and safe enough for consumers and handle huge variability without support staff.
Physics limits
- Homes are endlessly variedEvery home has different layouts, lighting, clutter and objects. A robot meets things it has never seen daily, and rare cases add up across millions of homes.
- Soft things have no fixed shapeClothes, bags and cables can fold into countless configurations, so they can't be modelled like rigid parts. Tidying them is among the hardest problems in robot handling.
- Errors compound over long choresA 20-step chore at 95% success per step finishes only about 36% of the time. Household autonomy needs near-perfect steps or reliable recovery.
