Zeroth Robotics introduced the W1 at CES, a robot reminiscent of WALL-E.
The W1 is a programmable companion designed for families. According to the company’s website, for $4,999, the robot offers round-the-clock AI-powered security, 360-degree mobile surveillance, and integrates with smart home devices for instant smoke and intrusion alerts. It’s also marketed as an adventure companion that can transport camping gear, follow you around the campsite taking photos as a family photographer, and supply portable power so you can enjoy entertainment on the go.
We built a surveillance device that follows you around and uploads images, audio, video, and location data to our cloud servers, which we have absolutely made very secure! We care about your privacy, so your data will never be shared with anyone except our 372 advertising partners! Please bring it into your home today!
This is so good that I got bothered that there was no source. I found a comic from over ten years ago, with the same theme, but more simpler graphics. It turned out Jake Likes Onions did an updated version of their original comic in 2019 and didn’t add their watermark for some reason.

I’ll stick with my dog. She’d never snitch on me.

Anyway, as you were.
Not even for a Scooby Snack?
I was curious what this nonsense looks like - and found out that the $5k is the preorder price. It goes up to $5600 once its shipping.
Looking at it in their videos it just reminds me of every “Robot turns bad and kills everyone” story. Just needs red eyes to replace blue.
