The question is do they fall and can't get back up
The main issue is how heavy duty they are, because they operate on lithium batteries you can't make them too heavy otherwise it burns battery. So these humanoid robots durability will be closely aligned with innovation in lithium battery tech, or having larger and expensive robots with lots of battery.

- GCUMstlyHarmls 6mo agoCould we not simply encase the weaker unit some kind of armored robotic shell?
- m463 6mo agoThen we would need better baby-gates. But that might lead to escalating scenarios.
- SV_BubbleTime 6mo agoTragedy of the commons toddler armor. Can you guys fucking not? It’s best to death. I’d rather have a Ford vs Chevy vs Ram conversation again.
- SturgeonsLaw 6mo agoMight as well put an AI chip in the toddler's exosuit and get another bot

- hanspeter 6mo agoThat's not a robot problem, that's a toddler problem. We don't leave our young toddlers to roam freely around the house for a reason. Our homes are full of hazards to these risk-seeking small people and a robot is just one more on the list.
- sebastiennight 6mo agoSo, staple the toddler onto the kitchen counter, so that the humanoid cooking robot can get free run of the house, got it
- hanspeter 6mo agoWell, if that is how you manage other hazards in the home, then yes. I would recommend another approach though. We decided for making changes to our home to allow our toddler to be safe in our home environment without being notably constrained.
- gattr 6mo agoNot that big of a problem, right? Just put a lot of power sockets throughout the workspace. Robot gets to its work station, can be tethered and recharge when it's operating there. Similarly in a household.
