Weave Robotics has opened pre-orders for Isaac 1, a wheeled bimanual home humanoid the San Francisco startup is positioning as a mass-market entry point into consumer robotics. Weave listed the robot at $7,999, or $449 a month, with deliveries starting fall 2026 — meaningfully cheaper than 1X's Neo at around $20,000 and bipedal rivals from Figure and Unitree that run $12,000 to well over $20,000.
What Isaac 1 does around the house
Weave designed Isaac 1 for two chore buckets: a "laundry flow" that finds and picks up dirty clothes, folds them and manages loaded hampers; and a "daily reset" that tidies rooms, makes beds and puts away toys, shoes, blankets and pillows. The robot rolls on a wheeled base, uses two arms with two-finger parallel grippers, and adjusts in height from 3 ft (0.9 m) to 5 ft 9 in (1.7 m) — enough range to pick items off the floor, work at counter height and reach higher shelves.
Hardware, privacy and the charging home
An eight-hour battery and a two-hour recharge cycle are meant to keep Isaac 1 working through the day. Weave says the robots are assembled in California and that the company builds its own actuators, end effectors and linkage systems in-house, wrapped in customizable, swappable soft-fabric panels. Physical shutters over the head cameras signal when Isaac is active, and its matching charging dock includes a privacy screen so the robot is out of sight when idle.
From Isaac 0 to a consumer product
Weave was founded in 2024 by former Apple AI and robotics engineers Evan Wineland and Kaan Dogrusoz, and shipped the stationary Isaac 0 laundry-folder to Bay Area homes and businesses earlier in the year. That first-generation deployment now folds more than 1,000 pounds of laundry a week and has logged 2,000+ hours of field time — training data Weave is folding into Isaac 1's autonomy stack. Users can schedule work through a companion app, and Weave says teleoperation is used only as a fallback when autonomy stalls.
Isaac 1 lands in a rapidly maturing home-robot market that this year has also seen the $152M raise at Humanoid AI, BYD's August humanoid debut, and Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 whole-body control model.
