I don't think a robot needs to lift more than 1kg or even less to be game changer. It just needs to be accurate and smart enough so that it can use different tools(i.e push different buttons) that do the heavy lifting.
- tgflynn 6y agoIf all you want to do is push buttons there's probably a much simpler and cheaper way to accomplish what you want electronically.
- Teever 6y agoI think we're talking about integrating robots into an environment that is designed for humans. As such robots pushing buttons is a good thing to reach for.
- tgflynn 6y agoI still think that application is a dead end. Anything that has buttons on it these days (and increasingly so in the future) is likely to also have some kind of wifi or other remote and/or programmable interface so control of that machine really isn't something you need or want a robot to do. I'm not sure exactly what the parent had in mind but consider the problem of washing dishes. A robot that can load a dishwasher has value, a robot that can only press the start button not so much.
- thefounder 6y agoPressing buttons was just a figure of speach. It could use wireless commands if course. My point is that we need a smart robot to supervise and "use" various devices(i.e the dishwasher). It doesn't need to lift heavy things or do many tasks himself because it could use dumb tools/machines to do that just like humans use forklifts. That's why I'm saying being smart/ingeligent is more important than how much it can lift or its battery autonomy.
