Maker says robots can switch lights without the $1,000 price

Original: RE: https:// mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1 17548279928497016 None of my three # robots will switch lights on or yell at

A robotics maker is pushing back on Ars Technica coverage of a $1,000 household robot, saying none of their three robots will switch lights on or yell at your cat unless programmed to, and that they teach users to do that programming themselves. They also point out their robots are available now at a lower price than the $1,000 figure in the coverage.

Why now: People are reacting to coverage of an expensive home robot, with a competitor promoting cheaper programmable alternatives.
