What Tuesday Labs Builds

Tuesday Labs builds one publicly known product line, the Voxel home robot. The company describes itself as a robotics lab and design studio in New York City, and it calls Voxel a 'droid butler.' Voxel is meant to work inside a private home, finding items people have misplaced and taking over chores it learns over time. That places it among general-purpose household robots, which aim to handle many jobs, unlike robot vacuums and mops that each do one. The sales model visible so far is direct to consumers. Buyers place a $200 reservation, and the full price is expected to be around $20,000 when the Series-1 ships in 2028. Tuesday Labs has not published whether it will offer financing, a monthly subscription, or a program for businesses. It has also not described a service network, a paid software tier, or how long it will support the robot with updates. Public reporting does not cover Tuesday Labs' funding, headcount, or manufacturing partners. Those facts show whether a hardware company can build and support robots at volume, and they carry extra weight when it collects deposits two years before delivery. Ask Tuesday Labs for them directly before you reserve.

Tuesday Labs Robots and Models

These are the Tuesday Labs models a buyer is most likely to be evaluating, and what each one actually does.

  • Voxel Series-1 (announced, not shipping) — The Voxel Series-1 is a mostly humanoid, two-legged robot with shipping targeted for 2028. Each of its two arms has seven degrees of freedom, so the gripper can approach an object from several angles around clutter. Stereo red, green, and blue (RGB) cameras let it judge distance before grabbing, and a wide-field camera watches a whole room. Reverse-bending, Z-shaped legs raise or lower its height beside kitchen cabinets. It is the only Tuesday Labs model publicly known.

Tuesday Labs Pricing and Availability

The Voxel Series-1 is expected to cost around $20,000, and a reservation costs $200. Tuesday Labs has targeted shipping for sometime in 2028. For a reservation placed in late 2026, that means a wait of roughly 15 months to more than two years, depending on when in 2028 units arrive. Reservations are described as limited, and the company has not said how many robots the first production run will include. Several cost details are not disclosed. Tuesday Labs has not published whether the $200 deposit is refundable. It has not said whether the $20,000 figure includes tax, delivery, or in-home setup, or whether any software features will need a recurring fee. No financing, leasing, or subscription option has been announced. Regional availability is also unpublished, so a buyer outside the United States should not assume a reservation guarantees delivery. The purchase price is only the starting figure for owning a home robot. Warranty length, the price of replacement grippers and batteries, runtime per charge, and whether repairs require shipping the robot back all change the multi-year total. Each part replacement adds to the $20,000 starting point. Get each of these answers in writing from Tuesday Labs before paying the deposit.

Who Tuesday Labs Robots Are For

The Voxel Series-1 suits early adopters who can commit around $20,000 to an unproven product and wait until 2028 for delivery. It fits buyers who want one robot that moves through the whole house and handles varied small jobs. Households that often lose keys, remotes, or glasses may find the item-finding use case appealing. Tuesday Labs has not published how reliably Voxel finds items, so treat that use case as a design goal until results appear. Robotics enthusiasts tracking two-legged home designs may also want a reservation as a place in line. Several groups should look elsewhere. Anyone who needs help at home before 2028 gets nothing from this robot. A robot vacuum, mop, or lawn mower handles those single jobs today for a fraction of the price. People seeking a robot for elder care or disability support should wait for published safety certification and task data. In the meantime, Hello Robot's Stretch is a shipping assistive option with a research track record. Buyers who need fine finger work, like folding small clothing, should confirm those tasks with Tuesday Labs, because Voxel uses grippers simpler than fingered hands. Apartment dwellers should ask about footprint and docking space, which the company has not published.

  • Task list: Ask Tuesday Labs for a written list of chores the Voxel Series-1 will perform at delivery, with success rates. The phrase 'learns routine tasks' does not say whether learning happens through demonstration, remote operators, or software updates, or how long each chore takes to teach.
  • Privacy: Voxel carries stereo cameras plus a wide-field camera that monitors a whole room. Ask whether video is processed on the robot or sent to company servers, who can view it, how long it is kept, and whether remote human operators ever see inside your home.
  • Safety certification: A two-legged robot of undisclosed weight can fall. Ask which standards Voxel will be certified to, such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 13482 for personal care robots, and how it behaves around children, pets, and stairs.
  • Service and spares: Ask where repairs happen, whether a technician visits or the robot ships back, and what grippers, batteries, and leg parts cost. A robot away for weeks of repair delivers nothing during that time, so turnaround time belongs in the comparison.
  • Deposit terms: Read the reservation agreement for refund rules, the deadline to confirm a full order, and what happens if the 2028 date slips or the final price lands above the expected $20,000. Ask Tuesday Labs to confirm anything unwritten by email.
  • Battery and duty cycle: Tuesday Labs has not published runtime per charge, charging time, or how Voxel docks. Ask how many hours of active work one charge covers, because that number sets how many chores fit into a day.
  • Company durability: Ask about funding, the manufacturing partner, and how many years of software support Tuesday Labs commits to. A home robot depends on ongoing updates, and owners of a robot from a company that stops operating can lose features.

Tuesday Labs Alternatives

Robots and vendors a buyer typically cross-shops against Tuesday Labs.

  • 1X Technologies NEO — 1X Technologies builds NEO, a humanoid aimed at household work. NEO uses fingered hands where Voxel uses simpler grippers, which matters for chores that need individual finger control. Compare NEO's published delivery timing and price with Voxel's 2028 target, and ask both companies how they handle remote operation and in-home video.
  • Weave Robotics Isaac — Weave Robotics builds Isaac, a household robot designed for chores beyond floor cleaning, the same category Voxel targets. A buyer cross-shopping the two should compare how each moves through a home, which tasks each company commits to in writing, delivery dates, and whether either has published independent results from real homes.
  • Hello Robot Stretch — Hello Robot sells Stretch, a mobile manipulator with a wheeled base and a telescoping arm, used in research labs and assistive home settings. Stretch ships today, which Voxel does not. It looks far less humanlike, but buyers can review real-world use and published research before spending money, which a 2028 robot cannot offer.
  • Figure AI — Figure AI builds humanoids with fingered hands and has described household work as a goal alongside industrial jobs. Figure keeps a closely human-shaped body, while Voxel takes liberties such as reverse knees and a combined torso and head. Compare whether either company publishes in-home task results or consumer pricing before committing.

Bottom Line

The Tuesday Labs Voxel Series-1 is an announced two-legged home robot, expected around $20,000 with shipping targeted for 2028. The public record covers its body and sensors but not its task performance, runtime, safety certification, or support plan. For most households, a reservation buys a place in line before the robot has shown what it can do. That assessment would change if Tuesday Labs publishes independent task results and service terms. Before paying the $200 deposit, ask Tuesday Labs for written answers on refunds, privacy, and repairs.

FAQs

How much does the Tuesday Labs Voxel cost?

The Tuesday Labs Voxel Series-1 is expected to cost around $20,000, with a $200 reservation to hold a place in line. Tuesday Labs has not published a final price. It has also not said whether that figure includes tax, delivery, or setup, or whether any features need a recurring fee. Treat $20,000 as an estimate, and ask Tuesday Labs to confirm which costs sit outside it before you reserve.

When will the Voxel robot ship?

Tuesday Labs targets shipping the Voxel Series-1 sometime in 2028. The company has not named a month or quarter, and it has not said how many units the first production run will include. Reservations are described as limited. A gap of more than a year between reservation and delivery leaves room for the schedule to change, so check what the reservation terms allow if the date moves.

What can the Voxel home robot do?

Voxel is designed to find misplaced items around a home and to learn and take over routine household tasks. Tuesday Labs has not published a full task list, success rates, or how the robot learns a new chore. Its two seven-degree-of-freedom arms and room-wide cameras suit fetching and handling objects it can grip. Ask Tuesday Labs for a written list of tasks Voxel will perform at delivery.

Does Voxel have hands?

No, Voxel uses grippers instead of fingered hands. Each of its two arms has seven degrees of freedom and ends in a gripper that is simpler than the dexterous hands on humanoids like Boston Dynamics Atlas. Simpler grippers have fewer moving parts to maintain, but they limit tasks that need individual finger control. If a chore you care about involves small buttons, fabric, or lids, ask Tuesday Labs whether Voxel can do it.

Is the $200 Voxel reservation refundable?

Tuesday Labs has not stated refund terms in public reporting. Before paying, read the reservation agreement for whether the $200 comes back on request, whether it is refunded if the 2028 ship date slips, and whether it is refunded if the final price lands above the expected $20,000. If those terms are not written down, ask Tuesday Labs to confirm them by email so you keep a record.

How does Voxel compare with other home humanoid robots?

Voxel differs from most home humanoids in its legs and hands. It walks on reverse-bending, Z-shaped legs that raise and lower its height near counters, and it uses grippers where robots like the 1X NEO use fingered hands. Hello Robot's Stretch is a wheeled option that ships today. Compare delivery timing, published task results, privacy handling, and service plans, because Voxel's 2028 target leaves most of those unknown.
