It took almost 20 years from computers that nobody brought on electronics and photography stores to computers in everybody's desk. Robots will probably be slow

It took almost 20 years from computers that nobody brought on electronics and photography stores to computers in everybody's desk.
Robots will probably be slower, because there is way less room for optimizing their cost.
- dmix 6mo agoMostly just the cost, yeah. It will be like buying a car. The economics will have to make sense for regular people, while it starts popping up in tons of places and become a status symbol.
- jcelerier 6mo agorobots have existed for more than 20 years though. Boston Dynamic's dog is 22 years old, Atlas 15-ish
- somewhatgoated 6mo agoWhat can I as a normal person use these robots for?
- marcosdumay 6mo agoComputers also existed for more than 20 years before they started being sold to end-users. And again, the robots market will probably not evolve anything near as fast as the computers.
- Gigachad 6mo agoWe have had more than 10 years of robotic vacuums and yet they are still a fairly niche product.
