We've had isolated demos of this and that for many decades, all of varying difficulty of course, but I for one definitely agree with the post. I don't feel like I could go and buy a generic home assistant robot that can perform a variety of basic tasks anytime soon. Demos are nice, but they're kinda like news about new batteries, always a few years away from the real thing.
- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoI'd bet many more than a few years away from a robot that can arbitrarily navigate your house, gather laundry from several baskets, the floor, etc. Divide into whites/colors or warm/cold loads if desired. Load them into an arbitrary washer, measure out detergent, use the right washer settings for the given load. Then come back and move them to the dryer, then come back and unload, fold, put away, etc. And don't get me started on sheets. It's much easier than it should be to fool people with demos.
- threeseed 2y agoAll whilst safely navigating around people, pets, babies, spills etc. It's one thing for a little robot vacuum to do. Whole other when it's a very large, very heavy humanoid robot.
- sourcepluck 2y agoAbsolutely. And that demo was so bad, the robot was actually shitty at folding clothes (no offense to the robot personally, of course...)
