Link: https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/e...

Home robots are moving way beyond Roombas. 1X unveiled its NEO helper bot
this week, a terrifying $20,000 machine that can perform basic tasks after
you've trained it, and more complex tasks via teleoperation. In this episode,
Devindra and Engadget's Igor Bonafacic try to figure out why 1X made the Neo
look like a murderbot, as well as the future they see for home robots. Also,
we discuss last week's AWS outage and our over-reliance on a single cloud
provider, as well as Apple's rumored push for OLED devices in 2026.

Devindra also whatΓÇÖs with John Gearty, a former Apple Vision Pro engineer,
about the state of AppleΓÇÖs headset and the world of XR.
