I don't know, there has been so many overhyped and faked demos in humanoid robotics space over the last couple years, it is difficult to believe what is clearly a demo release for shareholders. Would love to see some demonstration in a less controlled environment.

Imagine they bring one out to a construction site and they treat the robot as a new rookie guy, go pick up those pipes. That would be an ultimate on the fly test to me.

  Picking up a bundle of loose pipes actually seems like a great benchmark for humanoid robots. Especially if they're not in a perfect pile. A full test could be something like grabbing all the pipes, from the floor, and putting them into a truck bed, in some (hopefully) sane fashion

    I have my personal multimodal benchmark for physical robots. You put a keyring with bunch of different keys in front of a robot and then instruct it pick it up and open a lock while you are describing which key is the correct one. Something like "Use the key with black plastic head and you need to put it in teeths facing down" I have low hopes of this being possibe in the next 20 years. I hope I am still alive to witness if it ever happens.

I suppose the next big milestone is Wozniak's Coffee Test: A robot is to enter a random home and figure out how to make coffee with whatever they have.

  That could still be decades away.

    I don't know... I'm starting to seriously think that is only 5-10 years away.

      Is that a real 5-10 years, a research 5-10 years[0] or 5-10 years of "FSD in the next 6 months"? The demo space is so sterile and empty I think we're still a loong ways off from the Coffee test happening. One big thing I see is they don't have to rearrange other items they have nice open bins/drawers/shelves/etc to drop the items into. That kind of multistep planning has been a thorn in independent robotics for decades. [0] https://xkcd.com/678/ https://xkcd.com/678/
