Tuesday Labs, a tech firm based in New York, has unveiled its inaugural semi-autonomous robot, the Voxel Series-1. This innovative device is engineered to water plants and collect crumbs through a combination of autonomous intelligence and teleoperation. Founded in 2025 by Rosalind Shinkle, a former engineer at Boston Dynamics, the studio has incorporated design elements from ex-Pixar designer Alonso Martinez. The Voxel boasts a cuboid shape, LED eyes, and 1-DOF grippers, prioritizing seamless home integration, a luxurious yet playful aesthetic, and simplicity. It recharges at a docking station and is aimed at early adopters for informal software training. Priced at $20,000, it aspires for wider accessibility as technology advances, joining other home robots like Neo by 1X Technologies and CLOiD by LG.
