Weave Robotics Isaac 1 - $8k home humanoid pre-orders for laundry, beds, tidying (Verge, YouTube, Instagram coverage ~July 2-6 2026).

Why It Matters

Domestic embodied AI arriving in homes now - changes daily work/culture/identity ("your new housekeeper isn't human"); absurd object in everyday life with cute failure modes; builder utility for home automation tinkerers.

Evidence

Concrete pre-order page for Isaac 1 (~$7999 upfront or subscription); demos of autonomous laundry folding, bed-making, toy pickup (teleop backup "when needed"); fuzzy colorful design; shipping targeted late 2026 in California.
