Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly. The robot receives as input a list of bin locations to ...
They still have the hockey stick around as a reminder to Atlas.
Yeah, but I just don’t see a use case for a humanoid robot, a standard robot arm could do the job in the video. Robots are better when designed for specific jobs.
Current robots are better when designed for a specific job, but that means only corps with enough scale can afford robots
What about much smaller companies that can’t afford to design and build a robot for a specific task? There are thousands of these companies, doing things at smaller scale so not able to automate. However a robot with similar capabilities to a human, that could be trained like a human, and doesn’t cost like an industrial robot, can fill in for a human at all of these companies
But back to preset times, when robots like these are cheap enough for a small company to buy over hiring someone, then it will be cheap enough to buy custom robots too.
But we don’t have the technology yet where a humanoid robot can do humanoid things better than a human.
What you see isn’t an end product. It’s a research prototype, one of many in a long line of future models that are on the path to making a humanoid robot possible.

I mean in the far distant future… yeah I agree.
