In the United States it is already possible to rent a humanoid robot to clean the house

SIC Notícias12 September 2026 at 08:00

A startup in San Francisco, in the United States, launched an experimental home cleaning service using humanoid robots. The service charges 30 dollars per hour for each robot.

The humanoid machines are capable of performing various household tasks, including vacuuming, cleaning surfaces and tidying up spaces. The service is still in the experimental phase, which means it is in a testing period and may undergo adjustments before a possible expansion.

Why this matters

This development is of interest to American consumers seeking automation alternatives for home cleaning, especially in a market with a shortage of labor in this sector. The service is still in the experimental phase, which means the technology may evolve and potentially expand to other markets in the future.
