Mundane AI is building teleoperated robots for hazardous jobs like electrical line work. Their core tech is a haptic exoskeleton system that gives operators full tactile feedback—you physically feel what the robot touches in real-time. This isn't autonomous like Tesla's Optimus or 1X's humanoids; it's pure human-in-the-loop control for tasks where reliability > autonomy. The bet: there's a massive market for dangerous/dirty work that full autonomy won't solve anytime soon (think edge cases, regulatory barriers, liability). Positioning as "the robot that keeps humans safe while doing the job" rather than "the robot that replaces humans." US-manufactured hardware. If the haptics really work as claimed, this could own niches like utility maintenance, hazmat, and industrial inspection where one mistake = death.
