The question is whether robotics will look like a some number of platforms with little development to adapt to different scenarios, or a million types of machines that are highly fit for purpose.

- barrkel 6mo agoI expect hybrids. Something general has to be adaptable for what will be an expensive capital purchase. The human form factor - torso up anyway - is probably easier to bootstrap on a general basis; keyed off of human data. But I don't like the failure modes of bipedal robots - imagine a robot flailing around trying to regain balance, in any setting with humans around. I'm no expert of course, just pontificating.
