Tuesday Labs, a robotics lab and design studio in New York City, has opened reservations for Voxel, a bi-pedal robot built to learn household routines and take over chores around the home.
The company is pitching it as more than a floor cleaner. Voxel has a pair of highly articulated arms and an advanced vision system, putting it in the same broad category as home robots meant to handle tasks beyond mopping or vacuuming.
If you want one, you can reserve a spot now with a $200 deposit. Tuesday Labs says the full price is expected to be around $20,000 when Voxel ships sometime in 2028.
That’s the real story here: not a finished consumer robot, but a pricey promise with a long runway. Tuesday Labs is selling the idea of a "droid butler" before the thing is even out in the world.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
A $20,000 home robot is still a luxury toy wearing a productivity costume. The robotics industry loves to talk like the house helper revolution is imminent, but for now it mostly means paying to be early and patient. The deposit is the easy part; the hard part is making the robot useful enough that people keep it in the house.
