Weave Robotics released Isaac 0 — the first home robot for folding laundry.
What it can do:
• Folds t-shirts, sweaters, pants, towels
• Operates autonomously for 30-90 minutes per load
• Learns over time — weekly model updates
What it can't do:
• Large blankets and sheets
• Inside-out clothes
• If stuck — a Weave operator connects remotely for 5-10 seconds
Price: $8,000 or $450/month for rental. Currently only in the Bay Area.
Interesting details:
• The company is only 1.5 years old (founded in summer 2024)
• Seed round of $9.6M
• Equipped with cameras — remote operators can see your home (hello, privacy)
Honestly? It folds quite poorly so far, judging by the videos. But it's a first step — and it happened faster than many expected. Home robots are ceasing to be science fiction.
