Products that do what We sent a humanoid robot to clean a stranger's apartment in SF does

Hey HN, Aron here, founder of Gatsby. Today (May 14, 2026) we made U.S. history with the first humanoid robot cleaning service delivered to a consumer in the US — we picked someone off our SF waitlist, drove a humanoid to their apartment, and it cleaned the place. Pricing is $150 flat in SF, any size apartment. Cleaning took a few hours including setup. Curious to hear any thoughts and happy to answer any questions.

    Hello, we're Max and Byran from MUREX Robotics, a high school robotics team from Exeter, New Hampshire. We are super proud to have made this open source piece of technology! It is only 6.9 dollars (actually!) from JLCPCB :) I hope you like it. You can find us at [email protected] and [email protected] as well if you have any questions. We will be putting a small run of these boards for sale somewhere (we have <25 units of stock), probably for $10+shipping. Let us know if you're interested in more! Board files for everything we make is here:…

    Hi all, excited to share our latest work, OK-Robot, which is an open and modular framework to perform navigation and manipulation with a robot assistant in practically any homes without having to teach the robot anything new! You can simply unbox the target robot, install OK-Robot, give it a "scan" (think a 60 second iPhone video), and start asking the robot to move arbitrary things from A to B. We already tested it out in 10 home environments in New York city, and one environment each in Pittsburgh and Fremont. We based everything off of the current best machine learning models, and so…

    Hi HN! Proud to share our open-source robot platform, Dobb·E, a home robot system that needs just 5 minutes of human teaching to learn new tasks. We've already taken Dobb·E to 10 different homes in New York, taught it 100+ tasks, and we are just getting started! I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Here are some more details, below (or see a Twitter thread with attached media: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;i&#x2F;status&#x2F;1729515379892826211 or https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nitter.net&#x2F;i&#x2F;status&#x2F;1729515379892826211): We engineered Dobb·E to maximize efficiency, safety, and…

    We just released a very excited touch sensor that finally simplifies touch sensing for robotics. Our most exciting result: Learned visuotactile policies for precise tasks like inserting USBs and credit card swiping, that work out-of-the-box when you replace skins! To the best of our knowledge, this has never been shown before with any existing tactile sensor. Why is this important? For the first time, you could now collect data and train models on one sensor and expect them to generalize to new copies of the sensor -- opening the door to the kind of large foundation models that have…
