Battlefield robots already exist. They just don't look like you and me. And mostly they fly. That word "embodied"is a broad hint at misunderstanding. Robot surgeons don't stand on humanoid feet next to the operating table, and they don't have humanoid "hands."
Boston Dynamics has had humanoid robots doing parkour for years now and nobody needs a robot to do parkour. This was also a hint.
- inshard 1y agoDo we need to distinguish between Atlas, the control theory based humanoid tech stack vs say Optimus that may run on an end-2-end visual reasoning world model? I feel these are two different paradigms. Same for military drones. The next gen prototypes may have launch-and-forget levels of autonomy, however ethically questionable.
