GoKawiilTau Robotics tests remotely piloted cleaning robot in San Francisco apartments
A local startup called Tau Robotics is trialing a humanoid robot that cleans homes while a human operator pilots it remotely using onboard cameras, rather than operating autonomously. A journalist who signed up for the waitlist had the robot sent to clean their apartment and reported both glitches and moments suggesting future potential. Separately, Samsung is expanding its Pyeongtaek, South Korea semiconductor campus, where three fabs run continuously, a fourth is starting up, and a fifth is under construction to meet AI-driven memory chip demand.
