Weave Robotics Details Isaac 1: A $7,999 Mobile Robot Featuring 21 Degrees of Freedom and Hybrid Autonomy
Weave Robotics has announced the Isaac 1, a mobile household robot featuring a 21-degree-of-freedom physical architecture and an eight-hour battery run-time. The system utilizes a hybrid control model combining default autonomous execution with human-in-the-loop teleoperation fallback for laundry and tidying tasks.
Physical Architecture and Kinematics The Isaac 1 is designed around a proprietary hardware stack built from the ground up in San Francisco, featuring custom-designed actuators, safety systems, and a remote actuation system. The robot's kinematic configuration provides 21 total degrees of freedom (DoF), distributed across a 2-DoF neck, twin arms with 6 DoF each, twin hands with 1 DoF each, a 2-DoF torso, and a 3-DoF wheeled base. The wheeled base ensures passive stability during manipulation tasks.
To accommodate varying environmental heights and storage constraints, the robot features a collapsible torso. This allows the system to adjust its operating height from 3 feet up to a maximum height of 5 feet 9 inches. This vertical range is supported by a maximum vertical reach of 80 inches and a horizontal reach of 33 inches. The robot maintains a physical footprint of 20.5 inches by 22 inches (width by depth). The internal structural frame is enclosed in a soft, swappable fabric shell that provides passive safety during physical interactions within human spaces.
Power and Communications Infrastructure The platform operates on an onboard battery system designed for a continuous run-time of 8 hours, requiring a 2-hour charge cycle to return to capacity. Network communication is handled entirely via Wi-Fi connectivity.
Users interface with the robot via a dedicated mobile companion app, allowing them to trigger tasks on-demand or configure operational schedules. For privacy security, the robot's physical design incorporates physical cues that indicate whether the system is actively working or inactive.
Operational Software and Hybrid Autonomy Model The software architecture is engineered to run autonomous routines by default for specialized feature sets:
- Laundry Flow: Locating and collecting dirty clothes, transporting loaded hampers, folding garments, and returning them to storage.
- Daily Reset: Tidying rooms by making beds, straightening pillows or blankets, and placing toys, shoes, and miscellaneous clutter in designated locations.
To guarantee task completion, the system relies on a hybrid execution model. While the robot attempts these routines autonomously, it initiates a fallback to teleoperation assistance when encountering edge cases or execution anomalies. The system supports over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing software capabilities and task performance to iterate post-deployment.
Deployment Schedule and Pricing The Isaac 1 is priced under two models: an upfront hardware purchase of $7,999 or a subscription model at $449 per month. Pre-orders require a fully refundable $250 deposit.
Shipments are scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026, prioritizing deliveries to California customers. Broad availability across the rest of the United States is scheduled to roll out through 2027.
