"Tidy up, please, Aeolus."

How would you like to be able to say that, leave for work or play--and come home to a clean house?

That's the idea behind the Aeolus household robot.

This is the world's first multifunctional robot--which can learn domestic chores specific to your home and keep right on learning through AI, according to creator Alex Huang.

Premiering at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, Aeolusgave onsite demos: moving chairs, picking up toys and vacuuming the floor.

And, it even brought its demonstrator, Cindy, a cold drink.

Alex, who is both founder and CEO of San Francisco-based Aeolus Robotics, talked with us onsite just after one of the demos.
