I was going to say on the musk video, why does the robot need to have a human shape head? Maybe just to make them less scary, but I guess also a decent place to put cameras.
Tbh that still looked a little clumsy, you’d have thought it would be able to tell it hadn’t quite lifted the strut high enough to clear the box before tilting / trying to move it away.
Still, the things they’re doing are light years ahead of the muskbot

Not impressed, i was expecting it to compress the spring with one had and take the top nut off with the other!

That, just moving a spring from one box to another is a bit shit.

I've had a play with one of their dogs.
Just find the right use case.

You were sucking Musks dick over a robot folding a shirt the other week, when it was clearly being remote operated.

30 year old robotics company vs company which has only started robotics the last 2 years. I'm more impressed at the rate of progress from Musk's creation vs this.

30 year old robotics company vs company which has only started robotics the last 2 years and is lying about their progress in it for clicks. Right up until they got publicly called out for it, because they were too stupid to properly hide the remote operator properly.

The potential to grift rubes, sure.

Same!
Impressive ability to deal with odd shapes and awkward environments though.

So how much is one of these verses the cost of a person in... China? Vietnam? India? Bradford?

If they do it in Bradford they'll have to program it to nick 2% of the stock. And drive like a complete cunt.

Me too. I guess expecting it to perform the most dangerous job known to man at this juncture could be a little unfair.

Given some of their other more impressive videos, I suspect this is more about its thinking process than the way it moves around. There's probably more going on that meets the eye in the clip.

I think it’s things like where it accidentally clipped the box and did a little stumble which it recovered from very quickly and naturally which are impressive.
But then maybe it should have been more aware of its surroundings and not clipped it in the first place. You’d think it’s movements would be more considered and accurate than a human who’s brain could be thinking about a million other things going on in their life while walking around.

There's hundreds of millions of years of evolution powering how you delicately skip around a corner like that without clipping it.
Fairly sure it'll take more than twenty lines of Python to replicate that
