Teleoperating Mundane's robot via force-feedback exoskeleton: can feel empty vs full bottle
chris_j_paxton · x · 2026-11-14
TheHumanoidHub visited Mundane in Palo Alto and teleoperated their robot: through the force-feedback exoskeleton, the operator could tell an empty bottle from a full one. The company aims to let tradespeople do dangerous jobs from a safe distance, with a philosophy that robots should amplify workers, not replace them. Chris Paxton, who visited recently, confirms the haptic demo was incredible and points to a full tour video plus an interview with founder theobot on why teleoperation still matters.
