Viral on TikTok this week: a video of a family in California letting an 'Optimus Gen 3' robot fold their pile of dirty laundry. What we used to see in the movie I, Robot is now in the living room.
Increasingly Affordable Price
With a release price around $20,000, this robot is starting to make sense for the upper-middle class as a long-term housekeeper replacement. Its battery now lasts for 20 hours of non-stop work.
Security & Privacy Issues
However, cybersecurity experts—including the Cyber Matrix research team—warn of potential hacking. "Imagine if the robot holding your kitchen knife is hacked remotely," a stern warning for *early adopters*. Ensure your home Wi-Fi network uses the latest WPA3 security before buying this iron 'friend'.
