Strengths and limitations
What works
- One of the only humanoids an individual can actually order
- Very light for its height, which lowers the injury risk at home
- Tendon drive and knit covering make it quiet and soft to touch
- Subscription option avoids a $20,000 outlay
What does not
- Difficult tasks fall back to a remote human operator
- That teleoperation raises real in-home privacy questions
- Low mass caps how much force it can apply
- Delivery queue means a long wait after ordering
