The problem is just the data, the model, and the biomechanics solutions (…)
For now, I will put my trust in my human dentist.
I think we'll soon see a robot arm that costs $2,000-5,00 and will be trainable/deployable in a single day. THIS is what will crush most labor around the world.
I’m still not quite sure why we want humanoid robots and not something more useful or purpose-built.
We have been able to build robot bodies for decades, but we still don't really know how to build a robot mind. You need better AI than we currently have for that.
I’ll also note that cockpit has been padded. I’d love to see the crash outtake videos.
Oof yea, now that I think about it, it's not like a horse trot that you can post through, since you're strapped in to the seat.
The median weight of a 25 year old guy in the USA is about 30% heavier than in China.
potential backdoors, weak security and other concerns.
(It looks uncannily like the loader Ripley drives in Aliens)
(It's also close to the APUs in Matrix Revolutions).
The wide torso/cage is what's protecting the human operator should the robot fall over.
Tyeah, the ones from Avatar look cooler, but imagine you fall on your face in it, you'd get turned into mush.
I think the article nails it:
> Early buyers are likely theme parks, industrial operators, or deep-pocketed enthusiasts
It looks cool, and unless you have a very specific niche that will be its main feature
The thing I love about the tech culture in China is that they never really seem to ask themselves this question. They just do cool things because they seem cool. See their EV market for more of this. A car with a movie projector for headlights? Why not? Wish we had more of that in the US.
Imagine one of these things working on a powerline or stacking bricks like legos to build a house.
People like to have fun, you already know this; but perhaps what you don't know is that the "fun" segment of the world economy is trillions of dollars big. People like to have fun a lot, having fun on its own is enough of a trigger for many people to acquire stuff.
This thing will sell like hot cakes.
looong youtube video, a lot of unnecessary hyping - all to end in 5 second after one robot drove into the other and it just fell
looks like someone made a supercut of all the fights, and it is still too long and has uncomfortable hyping from narrator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTkVrRkziDI
A lot of these humanoid robots are a tad diminutive, it will be interesting to see if that is the size that is settled on. Clearly there are constraints such as door sizes and what humans will accept, however, it will be a lot less clutter if the typical home has smaller rather than larger humanoid robots.
I have every confidence I will have Optimus by next year, running with neuralink and able to tidy my sock drawer for me. But what size will he/she be?
I just wish they would to hire people from the US cause I’d love to work there
If anybody knows how to get a job there, I’ve talked with a bunch of people from the company, and they basically say “yeah we’re not hiring ever”
