Quotes:

On Sunday, I paid $60 for 2 humanoids from Tau Robotics to clean my home in
San Francisco for an hour. Sergey and Chelsea (the name of the two robots)
tidied, wiped surfaces, vacuumed, mopped and cleaned the toilet. After an
hour, they finished cleaning the dining, living room, kitchen and 1 half
bathroom.

Each robot had a human operator controlling it remotely from the company’s
office in the Mission. A staff member dropped them off and picked them up.
For most of the hour, there was no company staff member in the house.

It seems they did a reasonable job.
