Tuesday Labs introduced Voxel, a humanoid robot for home use
English translation from Unibot. Source published 2026-10-23.
Voxel is a humanoid home robot. It was made at Tuesday Labs, a New York robotics laboratory and design studio.
What it looks like and what it can do
Its appearance is characteristic: a yellow box-shaped head, square LED eyes, colored panels on the body, two arms and recognizable legs in the shape of the letter Z. The height of the platform is 150 centimeters, weight is 45 kilograms.
The maximum speed is stated at three kilometers per hour, the load capacity is four kilograms. Each arm has seven degrees of freedom, and two-fingered grips serve as contact surfaces for working with objects. RGB stereo cameras and wide-angle vision are responsible for perception. The drives are electric, the software basis is the proprietary Adaptive Operating System.
Skill Rating: 2 out of 10
Overall Voxel skill score is 2 out of 10. This is an early stage of development. Navigation and manipulation received one point out of five each. Demonstrated skills included avoiding obstacles and sorting goods. This lays the preliminary foundation for moving and organizing objects in the home environment.
What's behind these skills?
Obstacle avoidance and sorting link the robot's mobility and handling systems with practical order in the home. The first skill helps you move around objects - an important requirement for a machine that will have to share rooms with people and furniture.
The second combines hands, grips, and vision into one task: putting objects into groups or places. RGB stereo cameras, wide-angle vision, and articulated arms are the hardware context for these capabilities.
Navigation and manipulation scores are still in the lowest positive category. This means that we have early abilities, and not evidence of mature domestic autonomy. Together they set the benchmark for testing the physical benefits of Voxel in the home.
Price, terms and team
Right now Voxel is a prototype. Deliveries are scheduled for 2028, reservations are refundable and cost $200. The stated price of the product is 20 thousand dollars, so the reservation payment and the price of the product are two different things.
Tuesday Labs is led by founder and CEO Rosalind Shinkle. Previously, she developed software for manipulating the Spot robotic arm at Boston Dynamics. This experience links the company's ambitions in home robotics to the practice of robot control.
Why is this important
The broad meaning of Voxel is its focus on the consumer home and an intentionally friendly appearance. The project's history shows how difficult it is to bring physical robots into everyday living spaces. There, useful organization and reliable movement must be developed together with design, affordable price and concern for human safety.
