Tau Robotics Washed My Dishes With a Human Operator

Would you let robots wash your dishes? A human controlled this dishwashing robot. Tau Robotics sent 2 robots to my San Francisco apartment. One picked up my mug, sponge, and dish soap, then washed the mug. Teleop is short for teleoperation: a person watches the robot’s camera feed and controls its movements from somewhere else. When it dropped a fork, the operator spoke through it and asked me to grab the fork. I felt more comfortable knowing a person was guiding the robot around my home. Can a robot wash dishes at home? Are home robots controlled by humans? How do home robots wash dishes? #ai
