Meet Isaac, the real-life Rosie the Robot, storming into 2025 to liberate you from the tyranny of household chores—ready to find out how? Weave Robotics is unleashing a home automation revolution with its trailblazing personal robot, Isaac, delivering its first batch of 30 units to high-profile early adopters this fall. Engineered to lift the weight of daily drudgery, Isaac autonomously tidies messes, folds laundry, grabs a book from a shelf, and even keeps watch over your home while you’re away. This game-changer promises to claw back years lost to mundane tasks, ushering in a Jetsons-style future that’s closer than you think.

Capabilities and Features
Isaac operates autonomously using voice or text commands and can respond to pre-programmed automation via the Weave app. When not in use, its camera folds away, its torso lowers, and it stows neatly in an enclosure provided with every purchase. For tasks beyond its current autonomous capabilities, Isaac features a Remote Op system, enabling Weave specialists to operate the robot remotely. The Op system ensures that Isaac remains functional for complex tasks while continuously improving through over-the-air updates.
The ideas for what a robot like this can do are endless. An early adopter receiving Isaac within the next two weeks and wishing to remain anonymous has high hopes for these robots. He would like to be able to see these robots used for home health care. Imagine a robot who can administer medicine and be a caretaker with no worries about the robot robbing the patients or abusing them. We discussed other possibilities, such as dog grooming, hair styling, handy work around the house, and grocery shopping. The idea of a companion robot is fascinating as well. The possibility of a frightening dystopian future with sex robots certainly exists as well, but the good really will change all of our lives. (I highly recommend reading Annie Bot, a work of dystopian sci-fi about what could happen if robots become sentient.)
What specific tasks can Isaac perform autonomously perform right now?
Isaac can perform several household tasks, including:
- Tidying Up and Organizing: Detects clutter and organizes items in designated spots.
- Folding Laundry: Uses dexterous manipulators to fold clothes efficiently.
- Pet Care: Monitors pet needs, refilling food and water bowls as necessary.
- Finding Objects: Locates commonly misplaced items like keys or glasses using AI.
- Fetching Items: Retrieves objects like drinks, books, or devices upon request.
- Isaac also integrates with smart home devices for seamless automation and improves efficiency over time through adaptive learning.
Pricing
Weave Robotics has sold out its first batch of 30 Isaac robots, all set to ship to customers in fall 2025. Isaac robots were priced at $59,000 each for the first batch. Customers also had the option to reserve one for $1,000, which was refundable, or choose a payment plan of $1,385 per month over 48 months.
While future pricing details remain undisclosed, advancements in production efficiency and scaling could lower costs over time.

Future Potential
Isaac’s capabilities are designed to expand as new functionalities are developed. With continuous updates and data collection from early users, Weave Robotics aims to enhance Isaac’s ability to handle a broader range of household tasks. The next batch of robots is expected to become available after initial shipments in late 2025, offering more consumers access to this cutting-edge technology.
What’s the difference between Isaac and Tesla’s Optimus?
Isaac and Tesla Optimus, humanoid robots, actively automate tasks but focus on different areas, capabilities, and applications. Isaac tackles household chores, tidying rooms, and folding laundry with precision. Optimus handles industrial jobs, carrying heavy loads and navigating uneven terrain efficiently. While Optimus could assist in homes, its creators prioritize industrial use. Currently, Isaac’s manufacturers offer it for sale. Optimus’ developers haven’t yet set a price or made it available.
Isaac exemplifies Weave Robotics’ vision for a future where personal robots seamlessly integrate into everyday life, saving time and improving convenience.
As the first personal robot tailored for home use, it marks a significant step forward in robotics innovation. Count me in if Isaac can fold my laundry, clean my apartment daily, and walk my dog at night.
