Are humanoids just an unburst bubble with no future?
I have seen (let's say) quite a lot of hardware robots to be launched on Product Hunt, and we tend to be bullish about such futuristic things. BUT...
Renowned roboticist Rodney Brooks says that this is only a bubble.
Because of two reasons:
He argues that attempts by companies like Tesla and Figure to teach robots dexterity through video-based training are unrealistic, since human touch is vastly more complex than robots can replicate.
Safety – Large humanoid robots are unstable and potentially dangerous.
(Just imagine how we thought that in 2000, we would have flying cars. 😀)
Do you think that Humanoids have potential, or is it just a boom (bubble) that is doomed to burst?
In my opinion, humanoids can become a reality in the tech world, but I'm not sure if this trend will be adopted on a mass scale. Maybe in China.
