Alright, let's assume we're not too though, just for completeness sake.
Plenty of industrial applications where an 86% success rate is fine, especially if you can try more than once.
- nomel 3y agoDo you have any obvious examples in mind?
- digdugdirk 3y agoPlenty of manufacturing environments that involve heavy items. Even with a lift assist, they'll still need 2-3 people to help lift or guide something to the next cell or next place in the line. Lift assists are still expensive, and if that could be replaced with a robotic arm and cut out 2-3 employees at the same time? There's going to be a big market for this. Certainly big enough to keep a company afloat while they continue to refine the product and reduce costs.
- nomel 3y agoI would assume bridge cranes handles the majority of the cases to replace human effort. It seems that "successfully 86% of the time" and "heavy items" usually means "destruction". Some secondary system to verify grip would be required.
- ChatGTP 3y agoSo dropping heavy items 86% of the time is ok? Sounds like a disaster?
