I don’t want this. I just want a robot that can fold laundry. I don’t care if it can only fold 80% of it and if it takes all day for a single basket. I’d happily pay 1-2K for it too!
Børnich admitted that much of the work will be done by teleoperators in the beginning. Owners will have access to an app where they can schedule when the teleoperator can take over NEO and where they can specify the task they want the machine to do.
Those teleoperators are gonna see a LOT of dicks.
opening doors, fetching items and turning the lights on or off
That’s worthless.

I got rid of Microsoft, getting rid of Google and dozens of other surveillance aggregators. Why would I want this?
The idea is dead on arrival. Except maybe for a few very specific circumstances.
No it’s not.
It might be to you, but there are enormous numbers of elderly and disabled people who would benefit from more assistance.
I still wouldn’t trust a robot around them given how inherently dangerous a massive motorized contraption is, but we also shouldn’t be blind to accessibility and utility just because we don’t personally need it.
Why would I want this?
Bold of you to assume there aren’t plenty of folks out there willing to overlook any potential privacy concerns for their very own ‘robot’ butler.
Worthless? You clearly don’t have children.
They can open doors and leave lights on, but somehow not turn off / close.
So instead of teaching your kids basic human interaction with trivial objects, you would prefer an Indian guy doing it with a teleoperated 20k chassis? Yes, my idea of parenting is vastly differs from yours :)
