Engineering Voxel means crafting character into the machine.
Inside Tuesday Labs, world-class engineers team up with legendary Hollywood animators to shape how he moves, communicates, and lives in the home.
The team drew from their favorite characters in film and literature, human-robot-interaction research, etiquette guides, and their own experience building robots to create Voxel.
Inside the making of Voxel.
We will soon have robots in our homes. Robots with arms and legs that move through our homes like no technology has in the past.
I started @roboticscorp with the view that we should be building robots that people actually want to live with.
A home robot should be capable and it should be understandable. It should meet us where we are. And it should be a delight to live with.
All of this starts with character: engineering character into a robot means delivering a consistent experience and an understandable product. And, if done correctly, allows users to operate within existing relational paradigms. The character can be nice to have around, too.
My hope is that when you meet Voxel, he already feels somehow familiar.
Voxel is a gentleman in training who maintains your home to the highest standard. He is obsessed with elegance and loves to tidy.
He starts with 4 core functions:
- Home Reset
- Find
- Fetch
- Tend
Voxel is also a little OCD – you may find him fluffing the pillows for the fourth time in the same day ☁️
Today, we’re opening up a limited number of reservations for Voxel’s first production run.
Each robot will be embossed with an edition number, assigned in the order reservations are received.
We see this number as a way to reward those who understand our vision and bet on us early.

A home robot has to be useful, and also understandable.

We shouldn’t ask people to create new relational paradigms around a home robot.
