ok as someone in the field if they were to produce an humanoid how the hell would that work because I try to follow robotics and to produce something with the capabilities of a human is not something you see ANYONE doing well. Robotics actuators are all motors, gears/belts and to replicate human level functionality would require some serious advancements. Or maybe I'm unaware of some existing tech out there? These are not just nobody bothered to design one yet types of issues, they are fundamental physics problems you don't get to wave away with good showmanship.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoThe robot I am most personally impressed with is Agility Robotics Digit. It is a real human like form factor (small human not huge!). If I recall correctly it is an energy efficient walking system too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jycdks836bY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jycdks836bY This long continuous shot of walking from 2019 is nice too. They have improved their software a lot but the hardware was already in good shape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YrlR1iNVcQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YrlR1iNVcQ Meanwhile Boston Dynamics is doing quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4DML7FIWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4DML7FIWk Best path to success is Tesla buys Agility Robotics, revs the design for Digit to integrate the Tesla AI system, and spins up a manufacturing line. They could focus immediately on the high level AI problem rather than worrying about design. Could slap their AI system on digit while mechanical teams rev the new design so they get moving quickly. Disclosure: I do not work for any of these companies or any related company. I am making a farming robot (see my profile).
