Will Mirokaï robots be available for home use?

[Chris]

Enchanted Tools have demonstrated their Mirokaï robots can help with practical tasks around the house using Google’s Gemini AI. In this instance Miroki helps someone find their lost reading glasses.

Previously Enchanted Tools were utilising their robots for hospital use only, but with Google’s AI offering new opportunities perhaps they have changed their minds on restricting their robots to hospitals?

According to this marketing email I received recently from Enchanted Tools, updating me on the progress of Miroka and Miroki, Enchanted Tools have begun deploying their robots to customers with one going to a dental practice in New York.

I think the price of 30K euros will be outside most people's budget (although I think this is a very reasonable price for a robot of this sophistication)

Agree. Don’t see many people paying 30K for a robot that is more of a companion only unless it can excel at practical household tasks. Although in saying that none of the other humanoids come close to the expressiveness of the Mirokai.

I’ve noticed interest in companion robots drops off dramatically over the $500 mark. For instance even Aibo at 3K gets almost zero interest compared to Loona which is hugely popular.
