Lmao… That’s a wild take. Boston dynamics has been steadily improving this whole time, they were the first to really crack bipedal locamotion. Not just walking, running and flipping. Carrying loads. Kipping back up to their feet
You can, right now, for $8k buy a humanoid robot that can run, and be controlled to do whatever else. That’s insane
And you can get shelf stacking humanoid robots that work commercially. These exist and are for sale
Amazon is currently field testing humanoid robots that deliver packages from the truck to the door.
Lol! Are you talking about this? Dude, this is what I meant when I called them a gimmick. And if I recall correctly, the “shelf stacking humanoid robots that work commercially”, are not actually"working commercially". In fact, they didn’t work at all when given actual things to lift and stack. They could only carry empty boxes, and dropped them more often than not, and tended to fall over all the time.
Like I said, even if they improve to the point where they don’t fuck everything up…all they will be able to do, is the same thing people already do. Except people can also do all kinds of different things, without requiring an engineer to be onsite to set them up for the new task.
No… I’ve never seen those before. That’s not what I’m talking about at all, I also think the Tesla robots piloted by humans are probably going nowhere, for the record
Want to run failed startups past me some more? I gave you examples of humanoid robots being tested in real world conditions
Ummm, except you didn’t give me examples. Can you post a link to these robots that are actually being tested in real world conditions?
Or even a link to the $8k robots that are not the same as the one I found for $6k? I have a hard time believing that another $2k is going to somehow provide the difference between that thing, and something functional.
Lol! The Agility Robotics model used by Amazon costs $250k per unit. And is currently only capable of moving empty totes around in a controlled environment.
And the Pudu model you linked, is listed on their website for $214k.

Your knowledge is very dated, friend.

I know I half assed those links, but your numbers are an order of magnitude off lmao
Were you not able to open the link to their website? You can buy one today for $214k. It’s the D9 model from your article.
Did you not convert from yuan or something lol?
