- We estimate that in average it would use $1 to $3 a day and we picked that number so that it would be basically be free for you!

- Battery life is like 3-4 hours on a very high intensity usage. Most likely that should last a whole day once we start optimizing :) It's a big battery for now

- Yes we will allow full control. We don't intend to lock folks in our ecosystem, and if you look at the SDK you can see that you could actually train your own policies and just trigger them on the primitives. You could even scrap the whole agent, but then we think you lose a lot of the value of it, but why not?

Apart from the cloud agent, most of the code will be open source anyway!

Thank you, on it!

As an HCI person, really glad to hear that! I think there's a LOT to explore here indeed, and it's they key to democratization. We have a lot of ideas to reveal in the coming months, such as teleoperation with just the phone, VR, web-sims to experiment without buying first...

It's also pretty rare to find HRI people, so I'm very happy to chat further if you're interested (there's a Discord link in the docs and on the website)

It also says $2,000 on stripe and on the website right?

Thanks for the comment though, means that we should make it clearer maybe?

That's a great idea! We thought about in the context of elder care where they could ask the robot to perform a task for them, but we first need the models to be a little better - hence why we start here, to collect the data before it spreads further.

And by the way, we already have the app that you can use to control the robot at distance, so you can use the skills you taught it remotely as you make it navigate your home!

On the fact it would get bricked if the company goes under, note that our agent runs on other clouds so it's very easy to run if the company goes under - we would open-source it. But if you're not in the US we can't easily ship it to you for the first batch anyway :)
