As I said before, it's arguably *way harder* than #autonomous #driving ... Autonomous driving tests whether #ai can fake being a #human at a single task - a humanoid #robot needs to fake being a human at many/all tasks. The problem space is simply on a different scale.I think #elonmusk has officially bitten off more than he can chew by declaring he will start working on a #humanoid #robot https://electrek.co/2021/08/19/tesla-bot.. He has *absolutely* no idea how much of a #mammoth undertaking it is - arguably its much harder than #autonomous #driving ... Some people are estimating it will take *at least* 5-10 years to get *anything* working at all - and I think that is right. And as for a #market for this robot...
Very nice #dog #robot for $2700 being publicized over on #ieee https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robo.. A few problems I see though: 1. Zero serious use cases, 2. Very heavy at 12kg, 3. No mention of a programming #api , 4. No mention of #repair or #maintenance (which will be 100% needed after just a few weeks). I feel like the idea of this robot is better than the robot itself.
