Episode notes
Home Robots Are Far From Demo-Ready
- Home humanoid robots face a huge gap between marketing demos and real-world capability.
- Ash Minhas says teleoperation reveals current AI can't yet handle messy home environments reliably.
Homes Are Messier Than Factories
- Domestic tasks are hard because every home is unique and unstructured.
- Sandi Besen compares this variance to why robotics excel in repetitive, structured settings like warehouses.
Roll Out Robots In Controlled Shifts
- Scope early robot deployments to controlled environments and schedule teleoperation to scale safely.
- Sandi Besen recommends deliberate, limited rollouts so companies can train operators and control early behavior.
