It seems that in many cases, Japanese robot designers prefer humanoid form over a more practical design. Watching the video linked by ano-ther, it seems that many of the demonstrated tasks could benefit from cameras that are placed more closely to the tool. Accurately placing parts, inspections, and the tree limb removal tasks are examples of this.
- pixl97 2y agoYa it's not a human, you're not limited to binocular vision and can have multiple sets of cameras pretty easily of you wanted. Who knows what the designers are thinking.
- fragmede 2y agoI'm pretty sure they're thinking "giant robots are awesome!"
- DEADMINCE 2y agoMaybe that kind of childish decision-making is why Japan is failing as a country.

- DEADMINCE 2y agoYou're not making the point you think you are, or at least not remotely well. Look at big picture stats to draw a conclusion instead of pointing out a pretty obscure US problem that has no bearing on the claim made.
- p_l 2y agoThe ball-like robots from Gundam literally had a speech about them in Japanese parliament, so... :D
- krapp 2y agoI doubt it. Boston Dynamics creates humanoid robots as well, and makes design decisions which aren't always maximally efficient, but no one makes such an infantilizing assumption about American engineers.
