chrisjpaxton retweets ErenChenAI's thread about Vbot, a new player in quadruped robotics. The company raised nearly $70M in Pre-A funding, and its SuperDog won 'Best of CES' at CES 2026. Priced at $1.4K, it's aggressive for an autonomous consumer quadruped. Vbot EDU adds a robotic arm for tasks like feeding pets, picking up toys, loading laundry, and watering plants, turning an affordable robot dog into a home mobile manipulation platform.
