When can I get a home robot?

Announcing Isaac 0, our first home laundry robot. Why we built it, how it works, and what comes next.

So, when can I get a home robot?

That's the question we set out to resolve when we founded Weave in the summer of 2024. So much seemed to be happening in robotics every week: exciting video demos, impressive results with world models, dexterous whole body control. The next generation of home robots was implied to be just around the corner, and that the ChatGPT moment for robotics was coming soon.

This didn't sit right with us: we knew there was a real product to build now. Building next-generation products is inherently about grounding discovery in present realities, and pulling in research from the future to create something new. It's a humbling, hard optimization problem as well as a great reminder that without focusing on the right set of problems to solve, there is no path to a product.

We try to embody that focus at Weave. From the beginning we've built general-purpose robots that nonetheless focus on specific first tasks, with laundry as the chief one.

Laundry is a universal time sink that's taken for granted to be human-only work simply because an alternative hasn't existed. It's also a bounded task with measurable outcomes, and it makes for the perfect place to turn ambitious robotics research into a real product for the home.

This focus on laundry led to our first product, which we're announcing today: Isaac 0

Isaac 0: Our First Laundry Folding Robot

Isaac 0 is a stationary laundry folding robot, and it's already in our first customers' home less than a year and a half after Weave's founding.

Isaac 0 can be installed in an afternoon and gets the job done from day one: plop it anywhere with a desk in your home, plug it into a regular wall outlet. Drop a load of laundry and walk away: Isaac 0 works for 30-90 minutes, and you’ll return to find clean stacks of clothes waiting for you.

Isaac 0 is a learning robot: it gets better over time. It runs autonomously as much as possible, and if it gets stuck on a particularly difficult garment, or makes a mistake it doesn't yet know how to correct, a Weave specialist can sub in remotely for a 5-10 second correction and hand back off to the robot. This means Isaac 0 works with any laundry load right after install, and it learns from every correction: Isaac 0's models that drive its actions are updated weekly to ensure each fold is faster and higher quality than the last.

Who is Isaac 0 for?

Isaac 0 is our first entry into the next generation of home robots: robots that will get hands-on with chores that you have to tackle in the home. Laundry is the first task our robots are taking on.

Because it's an early, first-of-its-kind product Isaac 0 won't be perfect all the time. We will be shipping frequent updates to its AI models, software and hardware to continually improve your experience. Regardless, Isaac 0 will fold your laundry.

We're first shipping out to residents in the San Francisco Bay Area in February of 2026. If you have lots of laundry to fold or you're excited about having an early, first-of-its-kind robot in your home, then Isaac 0 is for you.

Why is Isaac 0 Stationary?

Those of you who've been following Weave might recall that we're also building Isaac, our mobile robot currently under development. Isaac 0 started as an internal prototype of Isaac: a stationary version we designed so we could focus on getting really good at a core part of laundry: folding.

That focus meant that we had to simplify to make our robots faster to assemble, easier to maintain and more affordable. We had to iron out kinks in different parts of the robot, filter out nonessential complexity and improve the core functionality. It was that ruthless paring down that allowed us to deploy our fleet to our first commercial customers' locations as a young team. Our fleet has now been operating for months, folding thousands of pounds of laundry every month. And we're now bringing that experience to a new environment, the home.

Homes are less forgiving than labs and less predictable than commercial laundries. They demand robots that work without supervision and are quiet, reliable and safe. The very focus that made Isaac 0 stationary is exactly what makes it ready to be useful in homes.

By shipping Isaac 0 to homes, we're taking everything we've learned in the real world and applying it where it matters most: everyday life. And future Isaacs will be all the better for it.

Building the Next Consumer Product Category

Product categories are built collaboratively through an ongoing conversation between companies and customers, converging on the right set of products for the right time. That conversation in the case of the last great product category (personal computers) was long and opinionated, and we should expect the one for home robotics to be the same.

That conversation hasn't really started for the next generation of home robots. The next couple of years will set the foundation for this new category and it is now more important than ever to bring in the voice that's missing: the customers.

The first opinion we're bringing to this conversation is Isaac 0. If you want to join this conversation with us, place an order, or reach out.

So, when can you get a home robot? As soon as February.
