The humanoid robot NEO is mostly teleoperated, not autonomous. Its advertised chores are performed by humans remotely controlling it via VR, with only two simple tasks shown as autonomous.
- 🏠 The company calls the remote operation 'expert mode' and expects early adopters to accept it as a form of beta testing.
- 🤖 Autonomous tasks shown include opening a door and putting away a cup, with the rest of the demo being teleoperated.
- 💰 The robot costs $20,000 or $500/month, with deliveries allegedly starting next year.
- 🚗 The situation is compared to Tesla's self-driving, where early adopters provide data to improve the system for future users.
