Similar to other robots like Weave Robotics’ Issac 1 that are designed for household chores beyond mopping or vacuuming floors, Voxel features a pair of highly-articulated arms and an advanced vision system. If you’re interested in bringing home what Tuesday Labs describes as a “droid butler” you can reserve one now for $200 while full pricing is expected to be around $20,000 when Voxel ships sometime in 2028.The model available for preorder is known as the Voxel Series-1 and features a mostly humanoid design with a few liberties. The bot primarily relies on a pair of articulated arms with seven degrees of freedom that end in a pair of grippers that are much simpler than the dextrous fingered hands on robots like Boston Dynamics’ Atlas.Those arms extend out of the top of Voxel’s torso that also appears to double as its head with a small mouth and a set of pixelated, animated eyes located closer to the robot’s waist that sit well below a hidden pair of stereo RGB cameras that work alongside a secondary “wide-field” camera for monitoring an entire room.Image: Tuesday LabsThe Series-1 navigates your home using a pair of Z-shaped legs with knees that bend in the opposite direction to ours.
The design is intentional and allows the robot to bend its knees for balance and raise and lower its height while standing close to kitchen cabinets, tables, and shelving.While Tuesday Labs’ website describes Voxel’s design and hardware in a lot of detail, it doesn’t go as in-depth when it comes to the robot’s capabilities and how it can benefit your household. The robot can carry out basic autonomous tasks like decluttering your home and putting things back where they belong, handling routine and mundane chores like watering plants, retrieving items like books, or helping you find a misplaced item like the TV remote by asking Voxel where it last saw it. At launch it’s not going to be making dinner or changing diapers, but if it can reliably remember where you left your keys, those of us with bad short term memories could have a good reason to justify its steep price tag.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Andrew LiszewskiGadgetsNewsRobotSmart HomeTechMost PopularApple teases MacBook Pro event next weekCoreWeave’s debt is becoming the whole AI industry’s problemElon Musk’s proposed SpaceX stock giveaway would go into ‘Trump Accounts’Vibe coding is turning the music gear world upside downA hacker broke into John Deere and SharkNinja with an army of AI agentsAdvertiser Content FromThis is the title for the native ad
