In other news, self driving cars will be reliable and trustworthy in 1-2 years.
Nope. Just taxis, so you don’t own the thing.
But I want my own personal luxury car that I paid $100,000 for to go out on its own in the middle of the night while I’m asleep and have it earn money for me as a self-driving Uber…
Definitely “for me” and definitely not money for a company that wants to shift liability to their customers and maximize their profits…
They definitely WILL NOT claim the reason that family of four plowed into that semi on the interstate was because your internet connection wasn’t up to their standards and failed to install the latest update, which is a clear breach of the TOS and therefore making you 100% liable.
Definitely not that…
So the same as for the past decade.
Two reasons why this is just another bullshit claim:
-
Generalized robotics don’t have any autonomy yet. They require immense amount of power to be mobile, and charging takes a lot of time. You’d need fleets to replace fleets upon fleets. Maybe 20m of runtime, and then the same for charging.
-
Everything needs to be trained for job-specific tasks. Repetitive work that does a single purpose is way easier than a robot with multiple jobs. Right now all these tech demos are simplistic at best, and only focus on single jobs.
Tesla’s robot is a total scam, akin to a child’s toy that reacts to certain things, and requires internet connectivity (wonder why???).
Boston Dynamics isn’t even trying this noise, they know what their purpose is…military use.
Agility hasn’t even demonstrated autonomy yet.
1X is maybe the closest, but again…single purpose.
Honda is basically off the map right now, but actually have the most advanced articulation platform.
It’s a mess. Stop worrying about this shit and ignore the headlines for 5 years maybe.
Damn. So a minimum of 5 years of chores I have to do still :/
Most people wouldn’t be able to even afford these things anyway. Don’t worry about it.
I would 1000% take a 30 year “mortgage” for a robot that would truly be able to absolve me of household chores LMAO
If you are willing to pay that much you can also just employ someone to clean and dust for you.
Sweeping and dusting is one thing. Cooking is just fuckin stupid though.
Dude…just get a wife.
We have very different wives.

Yet a robot made specifically to cook burgers, a job disparaged as simply “burger flipping”, has yet to make any inroads even though it’s been talked about since at least as far back as 2012: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/burger-making-robot-could-revolutionize-202800987.html
Elon Musk has stated that Tesla will begin producing its Optimus robot for internal use before the end of next year.
While it should have been obvious anyway here is confirmation it’s all bullshit
“There is a lot of optimism that ChatGPT-level models for robotics will soon be upon us,” says Ed Colgate, a professor at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Uh… sure.
Just watch out for those software updates. 😂
I don’t believe it
are you guys hopeful for 2nd quarter of 21st century?
No
Widespread use in industry not for personal use if you mean the right word. Robots for personal use still slow in movement because we expected robot can do multiple thing, it’s different to the robots for industrial use since it can only do one or two thing faster than human not many thing
Another reason why companies like Amazon treats it’s workforce like garbage. They are seen as replaceable in the near future.
