Who knew the many days I've spent folding laundry would lead to shipping Isaac 0, our first home robot.
Tune in to our conversation with @chris_j_paxton and @DJiafei on the challenges of building and shipping robots vertically from hardware to AI, the current robotics landscape, and laundry details you never thought you'd need to know.
Great robots are built by great teams working together.
It's been a pleasure working with our collaborators over at @physical_int to deploy π0.6 on our robot at Sea Breeze in San Francisco.
Isaac with π0.6 autonomously fold t-shirts, long-sleeves, pants, shorts, and more, with minimal interventions needed for unseen laundry and new environments.
Together we're pushing what's possible, and shipping.
General-purpose AI models are behind some of the most exciting applications we now can't live without. We envision that an analogous “physical intelligence layer” built with models like π0.6 will similarly spur a new wave of applications for the physical world.
We’ve recently begun working with a handful of companies that have deployed their robots to do real-world, useful things.

Today we're releasing Isaac 0: our first robot for the home.
And we made a short video for our first customers to share what it’s been like having one in their home 😊
. @weaverobotics is now shipping it's first robots to homes in the Bay Area. It's mainly focused on laundry folding but both the hardware and software is going to evolve to handle more and more use cases around your home.
Disclaimer: I am an investor.
I invested because @kaandogrusoz and @evan_wineland are heads down building a pragmatic solution that will be useful near term while most other humanoid companies are in a cycle of raising mega round after mega round with gimmicky videos and misleading claims.
I believe home robotics will be a reality by shipping products that are useful today and iteratively improving their form factor and software. @weaverobotics will be a major contender of this race.
We founded Weave a year and a half ago with a goal: build useful robots that give people their time back, and ship them as soon as possible.
To that end, starting today Bay Area residents can order our first home robot, Isaac 0.
And deliveries start this month.
When can I get a home robot?
That's the question we set out to resolve when we founded Weave in the summer of 2024.
So much seemed to be happening in robotics every week: exciting video demos, impressive results with world models, dexterous whole body control.
The next generation of home robots was implied to be just around the corner, and that the ChatGPT moment for robotics was coming soon.
Today we're releasing Isaac 0: our first robot for the home.
And we made a short video for our first customers to share what it’s been like having one in their home 😊
We're first shipping to Bay Area residents this month, with two purchase options: an upfront payment for priority delivery and a subscription-only option.
If you have lots of laundry to fold or want a first-of-its-kind robot in your home, then Isaac 0 is for you.
We have more deployments coming up the next few weeks across the Bay Area.
If you want help with laundry (or you have a problem that’s mundane, repetitive, or takes hours), our DMs are open!
Our robots have a new cheerleader :)
We’ve been quietly deploying our robots to more businesses across the Bay Area.
Drop by @seabreezesf in Noe Valley and see for yourself!
Building our robots in-house is what allows us to support businesses big and small. We’re folding hundreds of pounds of laundry at this laundromat as we continue to partner with @tumblelaundry
Go check it out, yourself (and sign up for Tumble, and never do laundry ever again)
