News
News on robots in the home: launches, company moves, research and policy that touch domestic life. A waitlist is not a booking. A factory plan is not a product on the porch. Each story reports what happened, what companies and documents claim and whether a household can buy, book, pre-order or only watch from the sidelines — as of the date we checked. Argument and buying advice live in Opinion and the series. News is the record.
