Having trouble getting up in the morning? The embodied intelligence startup "Not Far in the Future" has a robot that pushes your bed directly to the entrance of your bathroom. F1, which has been tested in dozens of households, is making its debut today: 22 joints, a wheeled chassis, and 8 hours of battery life. It can clean the floor, entertain children, and perform a "long sequence of getting up tasks" - from opening the curtains to heating milk, and even waking up children to recite English, all without human remote control.

F1 uses the RVLA model architecture, breaking each household task into millimeter-level trajectories and offline training. If it gets stuck on a carpet or blocked by a toy, it will automatically retry. The official claims a task success rate of more than 94%. The wheeled chassis solves the problem of humanoid robots not being able to turn around in small apartments. When folded, the entire machine occupies only 0.4 square meters, allowing it to crawl under the sofa and enter the elevator.

The founder and Chief Product Officer Zhang Yi revealed that children are the most active "trainers": they love playing "you clap once, I clap once" with F1. The robot sends the children's interaction data back to the cloud, and automatically retrains at night, so it can dance new gestures the next day. The education module will later launch paid content such as programming启蒙 and English conversation.

"Not Far in the Future" plans to launch a small batch next year in Q1, with a price of "five digits", and the first 1000 units will be available for purchase through the WeChat mini program. The company has completed an A+ round of financing, led by a top automaker's investment, and the production line with an annual capacity of 50,000 units has already started construction in Changzhou. The goal of F1 is not "a toy", but to embed embodied intelligence into daily family life - first helping you wake up, then helping you turn off the lights and sleep, acting as a full-time personal exoskeleton.
