The first company that comes up with a simple knolling robot wins.

It hooks on the table edge. It has a camera in its hand, it sorts rearranges whatever is dumped on the table by type and notifies you when it’s finished.

@markgurman
I wonder what the functionality of a tabletop robot or robot that follows you around would be. Especially with contextual and spatial computing becoming ubiquitous.
It will be difficult to compete with some of the domestic robots of the Chinese.

@markgurman I'll be damned, are they reading my mind? I was joking about that in the aftermath of Car news.

I was joking that they should do HomePod with hands, it would sell!
