What could make home robots affordable?

Purchase, subscription and service models explored as scenarios—not current offers.

Today's capable general-purpose home robots are priced like premium vehicles or small appliances, depending on the category. For broad adoption, households will need more than lower hardware prices. They will need clear financing, predictable service costs, upgrade paths and protection against early-technology risk.

Scenarios include buying outright, financing over several years, or a future Robot-as-a-Service model with a monthly fee that covers hardware, software, support and eventual upgrades. None of these is an offer from DOMULU today.

Our view is simple: the winning model will be the one that gives households predictable access to useful, reliable automation without forcing them to become early-adopter engineers.
