So Matic Robots offered to send me their new vision-only robot vacuum/mop. I saw the Shopify CEO post about it on X, so I figured, why not. For a brand-new company that just started shipping a few months ago, it's actually a pretty great product. Here's my short review: Things I like: • It's quiet, really quiet. I've been using a Roomba J7+ robot vacuum for a few years and the Matic is MUCH quieter. You can easily have a convo with it on next to you. • Because the robot is vision-only, when it maps your house, you get color data/almost 3D map. • Its wheels are big, which means it can traverse areas much more easily than smaller robots with tiny wheels. • The app is great. Easy to use and intuitive. Much better than the iRobot app. • It handles hair better than my Roomba. Hair always gets wound up on the edge-sweeping brushes on the Roomba. • You can control the robot from your phone like a little remote control car with precise control. • It does a good job of detecting objects like wires • Doesn't constantly bump into things like my Roomba •The unboxing experience is the best of any robot vacuum. They even displayed my and my wife's names on the screen as it rolled out of the box lol. Things I think can improve: • It can sometimes take a little while longer to vacuum than the Roomba, but that's improving over time • It's a tall robot, and while the extended vacuum arm is cool, it can't go under certain furniture or tables that my Roomba can. I think toe kick cleaning is coming soon via software update tho? • The robot mops up backwards. This means some of what you spilled could get on the wheels, which can get messy. Although, some competitors do this too. • This is a pro or con depending on the person: The robot has a HEPA filter bag, as well as the water tank, integrated directly into the robot itself. This means there isn't a large base station it needs to dock at and empty. But this results in you having to throw away more bags than you'd probably like. The bags only cost $2.50 each (vs $6 for Roomba), which is pretty cheap. Ideal solution would be something more reusable. I'd also love to have a live camera feed so I can see what it sees while cleaning. The Robot vacuum/mop costs $1,095. Overall, it's a cool product. Improves on many things that other vacuums don't do well/are annoying. While this is a first-gen product, it's a great first iteration, and it feels pretty polished. Nice work Mehul. Note: Matic didn't pay me. I don't have a referral/affiliate link. They aren't an account sponsor. They just sent me the robot. Ok, back to EV news lol.

Can United States manufacture robots? Matic Robots says "yes." It makes the best floor cleaning robot, that has won many perfect scores from Wired to many others. We love ours. But my trip there to get a tour from AI pioneer Navneet Dalal Navneet Dalal provided some real insights into how hard it is for a hardware company to make hardware in the United States. And how deeply AI is changing consumer electronics products that are going to be in many more homes soon. In this first part (Part II coming tomorrow) we get a look at how long it took for this company to go through prototypes to a shipping product. In the second part, you'll see the scaling hell that it takes to even ship a few thousand robots and the kinds of problems that scaling up a factory brings. Matic is one of my favorite small Silicon Valley companies. It has found what we call "product market fit." I just came back from CES where I saw many of its competitors, and the Matic wins because of not just the product thinking of Mehul and Navneet Dalal but because of their AI leadership. In a way their robot took many lessons from Tesla, from where to put the batteries to its bet on computer vision, which Navneet has been a pioneer in for years, working quietly behind the scenes. It is about to move into a new location that will allow it to grow to meet the demand that now is showing up (the boxes in its lobby show that it's outgrowing its current facilities). In terms of AI, it has aspirations of making a humanoid too, but it is taking a far more measured approach to getting there. By starting on the floor it can not just build world models based on real world data (customers are given a choice whether to allow its data to be used that way. Most customers choose to keep their data on the robot only, for privacy reasons, but if you opt in you can help them improve their models). They are using that data to understand homes. Navneet told me they hit very unusual situations in people's homes already that they couldn't really predict in simulators, like full-wall mirrors that confuse computer vision systems, or pools and water features in people's homes. Having real customers brings a ton of customer feedback about how to further improve the robot, and, as Navneet demonstrates in the second video, forces them to build a manufacturing muscle memory. Getting teams to work together, figuring out how to solve supply chain problems, from Trump's tarriffs, to a new one that showed up over the past couple of weeks. A supplier for its bags (one of the cheaper parts that goes into the robot) changed the glue it used, which caused robots to fail quality tests and the manufacturing line to stop. Reminds me a lot of the hell Elon Musk faced in its Fremont factory when Tesla was first starting to manufacture its Model 3, which almost bankrupted the company. Off the record Mehul and Navneet 🇮🇳 showed me some of the prototypes and plans for its next products that will show up over the next few years. Certainly not as sexy as Tesla, Figure, 1x_tech, and all the Chinese manufacturers are showing off already, but far better thought out for the typical Western home and AI plays a huge role in its future. It is the product that speaks for itself. It's amazing, and is about to get better this year due to AI. It's the first real vision-only robot to be in my home and I bet it won't be the last from this company. Real honor that they invited me over with my Insta360 camera (another company launched in my home, just like Matic was last year). In Part II we go into the factory.

"So the easiest thing that I want everyone listening [to do], whether you have one follower or a hundred followers, is to reject inclusive language. Every time media, social media, Hollywood, any of these legacy, left-wing legacy media, when they tell you you can't say something, that is your sign to say that. Whatever they say you can't say, say more of it. Whatever they say you can't bring that up, bring that up more. What you cannot do is to acquiesce. Because once they can control your thoughts, they can control your words and they control your words. They control your habits and your character. And if you're sick of all the things that you're seeing, it starts with you. It starts with your mind. And that's the best advice I can give because that's training your mind to make courage a habit. Reject inclusive language, guard your empathy. And when you do that and you say what they say you can't say or shouldn't say, and you say it anyway, then you've trained your brain to make courage a habit. Once you take that path you will never go back, meaning that if you make courage a habit and you start speaking truth and you start going, I don't care what anybody calls me, call me a racist bigot. It means nothing to me. You might as well say I have like three eyes. It doesn't mean anything to me. If you get to that point, then you'll never go back to self-silencing yourself. If you can overcome that then you're you're on your way to helping make it make a change in this country." Alvin Lui of Courage Is A Habit 💪 🔗
