GoKawiilFlourish Robots opens preorders for $3,555 Flourish 1 home robot
Flourish Robots has begun taking preorders for its Flourish 1 humanoid robot, priced at $3,555 for the first 50 units, with deliveries planned for December. The company says the robot can learn household chores like sorting items, watering plants and cleaning litter boxes within about 30 minutes using a smartphone app, with no coding required, and an optional subscription will cover cloud compute for some AI features. CEO Antoine Marcel says the robots are already in manufacturing, with battery supply lead times being the main scheduling factor.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
If accurate, this pricing would undercut most humanoid robots on the market by a wide margin, potentially making home robotics accessible to ordinary consumers rather than only industrial or research buyers. The claimed 30-minute task-learning method via smartphone teleoperation could also lower the technical barrier to customizing robot behavior, though its real-world reliability remains unverified until units ship and are tested independently. Because these are the company's own claims ahead of delivery, actual performance and shipping timelines could differ.
- Flourish 1 preorders cost $3,555 for the first 50 units, shipping in December.
- The robot reportedly learns new chores in about 30 minutes via a mobile app using phone-based demonstration.
- CEO Antoine Marcel says the main risk to the December timeline is supply chain, particularly battery lead times, not further R&D.
