Voxel's mustard-yellow chassis wants your mess, not your compliments

A mustard-yellow body, rosy arms, bent legs. Voxel looks like it wandered out of an animated movie and is now politely asking where the mess is. That's Tuesday Labs' whole bet with the Series-1: a chore bot that sidesteps the uncanny creep instead of chasing it. New York technology company, first semi-autonomous robot, designed to help with the tidying. The design is doing the heavy lifting here, and honestly, a robot that doesn't try to look human is the one I'd actually let in the door. No word yet on what it costs or when it ships, and those are the details I want before I get attached to a cartoon with a dustpan.
