What is not there yet
The robot has already been shown at exhibitions, and a presentation opening international pre-orders was scheduled for October 21 in Wuhu, China. The latest announcement does not yet give the price or delivery times. So it is not possible now to say how much such a home helper costs and when it will appear outside China.
Why this matters
Car makers are entering the market for home robots: they have manufacturing, service and experience with complex electronics.
