Speed isn't the main aim of this. Industrial robotics has an arms race in speed and precision but this is instead a beginning of an arms race in "common sense" abilities, robots that can do the work of humans without specialized programming. It already seems to operate at human worker speed.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoLots of basic repetitive tasks are economically viable to robotize when the robot costs $22k. This should be interesting.
- eatmorekale 14y agoIt probably depends on the task, but from the videos I've seen Baxter seems an order of magnitude slower than a human worker. It looks like Baxter takes several seconds to manipulate an object, but the workers sorting fruit in this video, for example, are doing several manipulations per second. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6dKf8MZ-RM&feature=player_detailpage#t=48s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6dKf8MZ-RM&feature=playe...
