@maticrobots is a product of love.

When I decided to leave Tesla 8 years ago, I didn't have any intuition about AI or Computer Vision. I called someone who's known in my circles as a robotics expert at the time. After listening to this company's offer and the vision, he told me it won't work. I didn't listen.

My roommate at the time, a sharp and savvy engineer, said this is crazy, why would you leave your dream job to go do this thing. I didn't listen.

I sat down with someone a long time friend years later for lunch and discussed what I'm doing. Being a seasoned investor, she was very curious. The more I told her the more she was aghast. Why would you do something like this? There's no ROI on your time. If anything, at least put Lidar. Be like Waymo, not Tesla. I still didn't listen.

Why? The answer is simple. I fell in love with the vision, the idea and the problem we wanted to solve.

Happy to share this with the world and keep working towards more.

I’ve only been here for a year, but it feels incredibly special to have been a small part of this journey.

One of my favorite things about @maticrobots is that there really isn’t a box around what you get to work on. I’ve gone from building robots on the production floor, to digging through data, recruiting, and somehow even ending up behind a camera creating content.

A lot of “wait, I’ve never done this before” followed by figuring it out anyway :) And somewhere along the way, I made some incredible friends too.

As you can probably tell from the photos, I’m pretty chuffed to be here ~ because I really am :)

Grateful to be here for this chapter and excited for what’s next.

I’ve been at Matic for more than five years, and I still feel like I am learning something new every day. The flavor of the problems may change, but the impact continues to feel real.

We are constantly striving to build best-in-class home robots for our customers, thinking through every detail: design language, functionality, packaging, ease of use, and every interaction a customer has with the product.

Truly grateful to be part of this team and community, and excited to keep learning, building, and raising the bar. 🤖

P.S. The video is from when I unboxed Matic in my own home and seeing it come out of the package and getting to experience that moment as a customer myself was incredibly delightful. Don’t mind the name :p

@mehul Excited to be a part of the team! 🤍

[the rizz carlton @hariharan_tp]

A lot of people ask why I left Waymo for Matic. To them, self-driving cars feel like a much bigger challenge than a robot vacuum.

I used to think the same way, until conversations with Navneet and Mehul changed my mind. The chaos inside a home is wildly underrated as a hard problem, and that's exactly what pulled me in.

Physical AI is here, and Matic is one of the first edge-computing household robots that will actually live in people's homes at scale. Huge respect to the team for staying so customer-obsessed while building it.

[Mehul @mehul]

It took us 9 years, 11 prototypes, and our life savings to learn that every great product has the same design process.

Matic is now decisively the best home robot for families (I'm biased)

A 500-word thread and video on the Universal Design Process behind every great product:

'hey matic,

follow me'.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@bscholl @maticrobots @ImpulseLabs I had a Matic robot cruising around the kitchen while I was doing office hours today. It gave the place an appropriately futuristic air.

[Matic Robots @maticrobots]

@zeeg Say "Hey Matic do the dance" and see what happens! ;)

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Does anyone else remember the movie iRobot?

Well, they weren’t far off with their vision for at home robots. Instead of having a humanoid robot tell you “no”, have a compact robot that understands 75 different languages tell you “yes”.

[Aakash Kanojiya @Kanojiyaaakash1]

Robot vacuums got smarter.

But somehow we’re still pulling out our phones to tell them what to do.

Matic just killed that entire interaction.

See a mess?

Point at it and say “clean this.”

That’s it.

No app.
No maps.
No drawing zones.
No tapping through menus.

Just point + talk → Matic understands and cleans.

This is what interacting with a home robot should’ve felt like all along.

[ares. 🎧 @aresotik]

THEY JUST LAUNCHED A ROBOT THAT CLEANS JUST BY TALKING TO IT

Matic Cues is the first robot vacuum that doesn't need an app.

You point at the mess and say "clean here". And it goes.

→ 5 cameras + NVIDIA Jetson chip, no lidar
→ Understands 75 languages
→ Everything runs on-device, nothing goes to the cloud
→ $1,245, direct sales only

Most "smart home" products ask you to open an app and tap a map. This one asks you to talk to it like a person.

[the rizz carlton @hariharan_tp]

the ability to understand that many languages and execute is insane

[Mehul @mehul]

this is the moment. 9 years in the making. what we've been building toward since 2017.

today we rolled out Matic Cues.

Matic is now the first home robot to understand 70+ spoken languages and human body language, including pointing at a mess on the floor.

humans have understood each other through cues for 200,000 years.

academia spent decades on human-to-robot interaction. we think the answer was always simpler: the best way to talk to a robot is the same way we talk to each other.

this matters most for families. a family isn't just app-savvy adults. it's kids. grandparents. people who don't speak English. people who just don't want another app.

Cues means anyone can use Matic.

today is the beginning of the end of the app.

for everyday cleaning, you won't need it at all. you'll just say:

"hey Matic, clean this."
"hey Matic, clean the kitchen."
"come here."
"follow me."
"go to the living room."
"come to the sink."

in any of 70+ languages.
the way you'd talk to anyone.
