This robot is my favorite so far aesthetic wise. Cant wait for the future.
-
18 years ago the whole concept of the humanoid robot was not even taken serious or even considered a real disruption, just your typical people that thinks Robots are just concepts from movies and not real life creation.
-
The artists did a great job at the aesthetics, they look like a great company!
-
Can't be soon enough I don't wanna work anymore Work is destroying me
-
Nice well balanced video, I have been waiting for this all my life, we thought this would happen in the 1970s, we didn't realise how hard it would be, I think today's scientists and engineers should be really proud of what they are achieving.
-
I can already see all those agricultural workers, factory workers, drivers, etc becoming poets, financial advisors, artist and doctors. It will be great!
-
I love how this robot looks, especially the face. It's like it has its own emotions and is thinking.
-
this is why we need UBI, so we can actually spend our time doing what we love and not watching robots have homes while were all homeless
-
The creators of this video are paid so much by business owners to convince the public that this is kindness.
-
Please do not blame the robots. They do not want to take our Jobs. At this time they do not express choice! Now how they are used by the owners is another thing. We need a human centered approach to governance. So that humans will always be okay.
-
the thing is that most people who do these manual jobs dont do them because they feel they have to, they do them because they need money and they don't have qualifications to have better jobs. it's these people who are going to be affected and no longer have money to learn new skills that will suffer from these inovations
-
I can't help but wonder if the world is gonna look like Total Recall movie in 20 years🧐
-
My first thought regarding a skin covering vs leaving actuators exposed - what happens when your three-year-old sticks his finder in, for example, the leg joint and is pinched? That would be my cover.no-cover leading rule. Otherwise - which philosophy wins - the Optimus Prime principles or the Apollo creed?
-
Robot is a great machine that can do a lot of heavy work. For example, human can work only 8 - 16 hours per day but a robot can work 24 hours. It's a wonderful idea that robot can do a great job as a human being.
-
I hope we can have robots that pick weeds and pull bugs so our food stops being sprayed multiple times with pesticides and herbicides. I want to eat healthy food!
-
Good article thank you. It'll be interesting to see which company will have the business model that makes these commercial viable and a product that is adopted.
-
I can't wait for robot mechanic/technician to be a thing in companies. Definitely something I could imagine as a job. I'd be the weird guy who always sits in his workshop, tinkering on something and talking to the speech module AI of one of the robots that couldn't be saved, so I don't have to interact with other humans lol
-
Seriously robots should be helping us and doing the things we can’t or shouldn’t be doing
-
Mr. Robot said, hate the game don’t hate the player. He just wanna work 😊
