Weave Robotics has introduced Isaac 1, a wheeled home humanoid designed to take on everyday chores such as folding laundry, tidying rooms, making beds, and putting away toys. The San Francisco-based startup is launching Isaac 1 as a consumer robot priced at $7,999, or $449 per month.
The robot is meant to look approachable rather than intimidating, with a cartoon-like face and a body wrapped in soft fabric. Its friendly exterior is paired with a wheeled base, two arms, and two-finger parallel grippers designed for common
household
manipulation tasks.

Isaac 1 can adjust from 3 ft. (0.9 m) tall to 5 ft. 9 in. (1.7 m), giving it enough range to pick items up from the floor, work at counter height, and place objects on higher shelves.
It also features autonomous
navigation
, allowing it to move from room to room to complete assigned tasks or return to its charger between jobs.
Users can schedule tasks through a companion app and remotely access the robot, enabling them to check in on Isaac or assign new work while away from home.
With an eight-hour battery and a two-hour recharge time, Weave Robotics said Isaac is intended to work throughout the day and quickly return to service after recharging.
The
company
claimed that the robot also includes a unique feature for a consumer
humanoid
: shutters on the robot’s head cameras make clear when the robot is working and when it’s not. The charging station also includes a privacy screen so that the robot is hidden from sight while it’s charging.
Weave is positioning Isaac 1 as a relatively affordable entry point into home robotics, offering buyers the choice between an upfront purchase and a monthly subscription when deliveries begin this fall.
Weave designed Isaac 0 for business
Isaac 0, the first generation of Isaac, found its initial application folding clothes at laundry services and in homes. That was the first task used to train the
AI
model behind Isaac.
Weave Robotics has sold several units to customers in the San Francisco area, keeping them close to the headquarters to support these early customers.
“Isaac 0 can be installed in an afternoon and gets the job done from Day 1: Plop it anywhere with a desk in your home, plug it into a regular wall outlet,” said the company. “Drop a load of laundry and walk away: Isaac 0 works for 30 to 90 minutes, and you’ll return to find clean stacks of clothes waiting for you.”

Isaac 1 core capabilities
Laundry flow:
The robot can find and pick up dirty clothes, fold laundry, and manage loaded hampers.
Daily reset:
It tidies up rooms by making beds and putting away toys, shoes, blankets, and pillows.
Design and hardware features
Form factor:
The system is built in San Francisco with a solid inner structure covered by soft, customizable, and swappable fabric shells for passive safety.
Collapsible torso:
Isaac can adjusts in height to reach high places or collapse down to remain out of sight when inactive.
Stability and privacy:
It features a wheeled base for passive stability and clear physical cues that indicate when the robot is actively working.
Operation and intelligence
Autonomous navigation:
Weave has designed its system to iterate autonomously by default, using remote
teleoperation
assistance only when necessary to ensure tasks are completed.
App control:
The service robot can be scheduled or triggered on demand via a companion app, working whether you are home or away.
Continuous improvement:
Isaac receives ongoing updates and learns from usage to improve capabilities over time.
