According to GROOVE X, the 71 homes equipped in 2023 represent barely more than a tenth of the country's facilities. More than 500 others still have no robot, and the new campaign is aimed at them.

The company plans to deliver the robots around Christmas 2026. It has not yet said how much the campaign aims to raise.
