It is a fucking shame that Trump banned us American's from being able to buy these bots. We hardly have any market here for fucks sake. We are losing on all levels.

Household robot promises to handle chores for under $1,700 – but maybe it's not for you

Are household humanoid robots getting cheaper already? We've only just begun seeing companies start to make promises and accept pre-orders for machines that can do your laundry and tidy up the living room. A San Francisco-based startup is now making one that you can bring home for just US$1,688.

Nori Robotics, a Y Combinator-backed outfit, says its A3 robot – a rather basic-looking machine on a wheeled platform – can help you cook, fetch items from the fridge, put things away, load up the dishwasher, fold clothes, and pour ingredients.

It's got two arms with claws that can grip things and lift a couple of pounds each, and uses LiDAR and cameras to help get around your home. A full charge will keep it running for up to 8 hours.
