What it is

Vendor

Weave Robotics · based in US

Status

Pre-order: Orders or reservations open to the public.

Confidence

Vendor claim Rests on the vendor’s own statements. Nobody independent has verified it.

Can I get it where I am?

What the vendor says about the worldwide rollout

First shipments begin in fall of 2026. Deliveries to California come first, with broader U.S. availability following through 2027.

All tracked regions

“Not announced” means the vendor had said nothing about that region when it was last checked, on the date shown; “Not offered” means the vendor has said no. An EU-wide offer counts for Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany unless the vendor says otherwise for one of them. Prices are recorded in the currency the vendor published and are never converted in the data.

May it legally be sold there?

This is a different question from whether the vendor offers it, and the two come apart: a vendor can hold open pre-orders for a robot that has no current path to being lawfully imported. The site records them separately and never merges them.

• United States

  Unknown fcc-covered-list

  Whether the robot may lawfully be sold here is not established. We do not infer it.

  FCC's Covered List rule for foreign-produced advanced robotic devices took effect 2026-07-28. A domestic end product (US manufacture plus a domestic-component-cost share of 65% through 2028) is not covered. The vendor states Isaac 1 is "designed and assembled in San Francisco", but does not publish its domestic-component share, which the test also requires. Models that received FCC equipment authorisation before that date may still be imported, marketed and sold, but may not be modified except for certain software and firmware updates allowed under an FCC waiver until at least 1 January 2029; a product not authorised by that date is not grandfathered. No source states whether Isaac 1 received FCC authorisation before that date, so whether the rule affects it is unestablished.

What it can do

Listed under Laundry, Tidying up, derived from the claims below.

Capability claims in the vendor’s own words, never rewritten into categories. What matters most is the label beside each one: shipped means sold and verified working, demonstrated means shown in a controlled demo, and claimed means asserted and not shown.

• Laundry Flow: finds and picks up dirty clothes, including from a loaded hamper, and folds clothes and puts them away; may also load or unload a washer/dryer depending on home setup. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Weave Robotics, 4. Weave Robotics, 5. The Gadgeteer

• Daily Reset: makes beds, fixes pillows and blankets, and returns children's toys, pet toys, shoes and other clutter to their place. Demonstrated Shown in a controlled demo. Not verified in a customer’s home.

  Evidence: 1. Weave Robotics, 5. The Gadgeteer

• New capabilities are added over time through over-the-air software updates. Claimed Asserted by the vendor. Not shown.

How it works

Within a task

Unknown

Nothing we found says which. Marketing words like “smart” or “AI-powered” are not evidence of either.

How a task starts

A button in an app

Descriptive only. A button, a spoken sentence and a schedule are different interfaces, not different degrees of intelligence.

Will it try something new?

Unknown

The vendor has not said whether the robot will attempt a task it was not validated on.

The vendor has not said whether a broader model sits underneath the two named Flows or whether Laundry Flow and Daily Reset are the product's whole repertoire.

Human operator

Yes, for some tasks

The robot is autonomous for tasks it has been trained on and hands the rest to a remote human operator. The site labels this rather than excluding the robot for it.

Evidence: 1. Weave Robotics

Why it qualifies

A robot is listed only if it meets all four criteria. The evidence is kept so the criteria can be re-tuned against real cases rather than re-argued. How these are applied.

• Multi-task by design

  Met

  Performs two or more distinct household task types. Not a single-purpose appliance, and not one task described several ways.

  Two named flows covering distinct chore types: Laundry Flow (pickup, fold, put-away) and Daily Reset (bed-making, pillow/blanket, toy/shoe/clutter return).

  Evidence: 1. Weave Robotics

• Physical manipulation

  Met

  Has arms, grippers or manipulators, and can pick up, move or handle objects.

  Vendor specifies two 6-DoF arms and 1-DoF hands (simple grippers), with stated reach and height range.

  Evidence: 1. Weave Robotics

• AI-driven autonomy

  Met

  Copes with unscripted variation within a task: it perceives what is actually there and adapts, rather than replaying a fixed motion sequence. How a task is started is not part of this test.

  The vendor states: "Isaac 1 is autonomous for Laundry Flow and Daily Reset by default, with teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee we complete tasks." The Robot Report describes the same split independently ("designed to iterate autonomously by default, using remote teleoperation assistance only when necessary"). New Atlas's coverage of the predecessor Isaac 0 describes it folding several garment types (t-shirts, shorts, long-sleeves) without intervention while harder garments (pants, undergarments, pillowcases) go to a short human correction. Tasks are started from a phone app. No named model, training approach or description of recovery from error has been published.

  Evidence: 1. Weave Robotics, 2. The Robot Report, 3. New Atlas

• Credible home path

  Met

  Targets domestic use, and has a public price, preorder or announced release window. Pure research demos are excluded.

  Fully refundable $250 deposit; $7,999 up-front or $449/month once shipped; first shipments in fall 2026 to California, with broader US availability through 2027.
