How many people have homes that require chores to be done? Laundry, cleaning, setting/clearing tables, yard work, some consider cooking a chore.

If I could get an affordable robot to do a subset of them, I'm in the market for one.

Makes complete sense! In fact, it seems to me that the most value sits in those messy, unstructured environments like cluttered homes.

I wonder... How can these foundational models actually learn to deal with that without being deployed in those scenarios? It feels like a chicken-and-egg problem: you need a ton of real-world data from chaotic homes to train robust models, but you also need robust models before you can safely deploy robots into those exact homes at scale
