Reddit users warm to Goose, a non-humanoid home robot that fetches and grabs

A Reddit user argues that Goose, a non-humanoid home robot, feels far more practical for household help than still-clunky humanoids. Fetching and grabbing objects stood out as genuinely useful, especially for people with mobility issues.
Caveats: the video shows someone remotely controlling it, and reliability on everyday tasks remains unproven — but home navigation and AI object recognition have advanced enough to make the overall package promising.
