Summary
The Helix 02 video draws you in from the beginning with the sound. The gears moving as Helix approaches the dishwasher. There is no background music. No excessive production value. It is four minutes of Helix unloading a dishwasher and putting the dishes away, closing a cabinet, unloading the cups (which are plastic, hold onto that detail because it is important), stacking them and putting them away in an upper cabinet, retrieving a mug and a cup at the same time, and putting both away. All of these movements are done autonomously. Helix opens up a drawer to the side of the sink, and I was genuinely curious as to what it was doing. What’s in the drawer? Ah, a dishwasher pod. I was hooked on this video like it was a sci-fi thriller. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit droids.substack.com
