Summary
Section titled “Summary”Matt Wolfe introduces the Flourish One, a small, inexpensive home robot designed to help with basic household chores. It costs around $3,500, with savings coming from its six-wheel base, gripper arms, and Raspberry Pi computer rather than expensive legs, fingers, or an Nvidia GPU. Users can train it by moving a phone through a task, and it can also be scheduled or controlled by voice. The first batch is limited to 50 robots, with shipping planned to begin in December.
Key points
Section titled “Key points”- The Flourish One is presented as a basic, low-cost home robot.
- It costs around $3,500, compared with about $20,000 for the Neo.
- Its six-wheel base and gripper arms help keep costs down.
- The onboard computer is a Raspberry Pi rather than an Nvidia GPU.
- Cloud GPTs or the user’s own computer can handle AI training or higher-level processing.
- Users can teach tasks by moving a phone; the robot mirrors the phone’s motion.
- Example tasks include putting away toys, wiping a table, watering plants, and cleaning a litter box.
- Tasks can be scheduled or requested by voice.
- The first batch is limited to 50 robots, with shipping planned to start in December.

Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 This is the coolest thing I saw this week. It’s an ultra-basic, ultra-cheap home robot, and that’s the best part about it. It doesn’t need fancy bells and whistles to help you with basic household chores. The [music] Flourish One is around 3,500 bucks compared to say the Neo, which is about 20 grand. And it’s so cheap for a few reasons. It’s small, and instead of expensive legs and fingers, it has a six-wheel base and arms with grippers. But by far the most cost-saving part of it is that instead of putting an expensive Nvidia
00:31 GPU inside, the onboard computer is a Raspberry Pi. And AI training or higher-level processing can use cloud GPTs or your own computer. To train it on tasks, you just use your phone. The app uses the motion sensors inside your phone. You move it through the task, and the robot mirrors those movements. So you could teach it to put away toys or wipe the table or water your plants or even clean the litter box. You can also schedule tasks or ask for them by voice. They’re only making 50 robots in the first batch, and they’re planning to start shipping in December. So let me
01:02 know in the comments. When it comes to home robots, is it better to go simple and cheap rather than flashy and full of fancy features? Follow for more cool AI and future tech videos.
