For 30 dollars per hour humanoid robots offer cleaning services in San Francisco

SAPO8 September 2026 at 00:32

A robotics company based in San Francisco, California, launched an innovative pilot program that offers cleaning services for homes and commercial establishments using humanoid robots. The initiative represents a new approach in the home automation sector, combining advanced technology with traditional service provision.

The humanoid robots are offered to clients at a cost of 30 dollars per hour, a competitive price when compared to conventional cleaning services performed by human workers. This business model positions technology as an affordable alternative for consumers seeking automated cleaning solutions.

The company responsible for the initiative has already expressed expansion plans, intending to first bring the program to other regions of the United States and later to the international market. This strategy suggests that the company sees significant potential in the widespread adoption of humanoid robots for domestic and commercial tasks on a large scale.

The brain is building its successor

The article analyses the paradox of artificial intelligence: biological neural networks created artificial networks that are beginning to transform the very environment that will shape human evolution. Comparing brains and AI models across parameters, energy efficiency (20 watts vs gigawatts), memory and sensory integration, the author argues that although machines surpass humans in specific tasks, they still do not match the integrative richness of the biological brain. The central question is not whether machines will become human, but whether humans will remain exclusively biological — advocating for gradual integration with open norms, protection of neuronal data, and for Portugal to position itself at the intersection of AI, neuroscience and fundamental rights.
