No matter who develops the technology first, China would be the one to produce it on the biggest scale.
That’s fine, it’s not necessary for USA to do that.
Incorrect.
Don't be afraid, our robots will be smart enough to clone themselves.
@@thedarksideofevan4690 That's nice. Better than some human workers..
Tesla main focus is now on robots. Tesla and Chinese manufacturers will be the biggest I think.
Maybe China will become the first human society to reached the stage of advanced civilization as envisioned by my all time favourite sci-fi writer Iain M Banks in his brilliant Culture series. Why you ask? Because China as a nation is very pragmatic and adaptable and not driven by idealism or dogmatism or dualism(good vs evil). I used to imagined the Culture as a very advanced far flung into future America…..not anymore because of their failed political system created.
China is very authoritarian, extremely dualistic, and squashes creativity, relying on stealing intellectual property from others. Both the US and China are oligarchies. To pretend otherwise is to spread their propaganda.
China is stuck in the middle ages with slavery that is there in their society
You are either a communist Chinese pushing Chinese propaganda or you are just delusional I'm think your both.
Rather China be in charge than a country that can’t help funding and starting wars everywhere.
Meanwhile, there is a real depopulation agenda going on, on almost all levels of society (the list is long of examples of that, but the majority of the masses has no clue).
IBM just recently laid off at 3,900 employees.
Even the technology sector is not safe. 😢
Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM but they sure get fired for working there. 🤣
I don't know how I lasted 8 years at IBM, they must have considered me a low value target so I was able to hide in plain sight. 🤣
Who is going to buy their products?
@@AllDogsAreGoodDogs That saying is decades old back when IBM sold stuff. It was a threat used by IBM salespeople to keep decision makers from buying other brands of computers. I took it to infer they could go over your head and get you fired so I started building PCs for the company I worked for and we didn't buy a single IBM after that. Interesting that years later I ended up being an IBM employee.
IBM market cap is $175 billion. Compare this to Google $1.64 trillion, Apple $2.67T, Meta $1.3T, Nvidia $2.2T, MSFT $3T. IBM today is a legacy computer company that long ago lost its ability to innovate.
Billions of robots will be needed to work for us, while we can finally focus on video games etc.
And to be able to spend more time on my allotment.
By that time Sweet Baby will make sure no game is fun.
As an industrial electronics technician I am gaming only since the beginning of 2000. Ok, working out and tinkering with electronics for myself only, too. 24 consecutive years...and I won't stop.
The end of the human race is near.
After the arrival of mass AI robots, the rich elites will become our all-powerful overlords. They won’t give us money for nothing. If we no longer work for a living and they develop a luxury commodity economy - where they are both the owners and consumers of all output with no need for mass workers or mass consumers - then at best they might allow us a subsistence lifestyle. More likely they will just get rid of us. We will have nothing to offer them. No reason for us to be alive. We will just be a pointless nuisance (or threat) to the super rich.
If I were under age 55 and putting Nut A on Bolt B for a living, like assembling cars, I would be very worried.
Or if you were a graphic designer competing with AI. Or a lawyer. Etc. Blue collar has outlasted journalists, book shops, and many other categories
Not for long...@@joythought
A.I. has become just another tool for graphic designers
FoamC • Only the mechanics should be replaced? 😏😂
The artificial robots will replace absolutely all jobs, physical and intellectual.
Humans will only collaborate with artificial intelligence.
@@elmoheadYes and no. That's the first step. Now everyone can be "artist" so that work is worthless now. Later AGI will be doing that.
The Chinese will glue to its game plan and not the western mentality of win or lose.
You don't know Chinese well. The drive to win is encoded in their DNA
@@robertfonovic3551They won’t. All they do is wait for USA to innovate then copy. & its citizens will eventually revolt as they hate the communist lifestyle. They hate their government, but can’t even say it aloud.
Chinese glue, 'Mericans stick
Everybody's doing it, China would be foolish not to. Why are the Chinese robots sinister and Optimus isn't? They're designed to do the same things.
That's what they said about the Segway (flying cars and smart houses), it was going to revolutionize and restructure how humans live, travel ect. ect. like the old saying goes "don't count the chickens before they hatch".
The Segway was overhyped before we even got a chance to see what it was through marketing. And we have flying cars for sale right now (you can buy a Pivotal Helix right now). And as for smarthomes, how many people do you know personally who have Alexa or other types of such devices in their homes? The "don't count the chickens before they hatch" comment does not apply here. They have had humanoid robots for years actually. Check out a CZcams video or two of the Honda Asimo or Sony QRIO. The only thing now, is companies are concentrating on making these things at a price point people can actually afford and we have this recent advancement of what's called "end-to-end neural networks" where machines can learn on their own to do task, thus making personal "droids" a thing. All these companies popping up out of the nowhere focusing on this? Humanoid robot-maker Figure gets funding from OpenAI, Jeff Bezos and other tech giants recently for $675M? there's a reason for ALL of it. The closest thing I can think of comparable in past decades is when Apple introduced the first Macintosh personal computer and a whole bunch of other companies tried to follow suit.
Um, who said?
@@beeswaxloverthe guy who said it! Obviously 😊
the revolution of those items are still underway. These things take decades to develop, just look at cars for example.
The bureaucrats will finally have the workforce that doesn't question their nonsense.
You mean Capitalists (rich, powerful & insane that lead the world)?
"I for one welcome our new robotic overlords... May Skynet continue to protect us from the darkness evermore!" ... Just practicing for when it's time...
You need to practice in Chinese
I think the reason why our government is obsessed with industrial automation is not profit, but the realistic crisis and ideological self-limitation.
Our population is aging, and secondary and higher education is becoming popular. We can't learn from the United States, outsourcing manufacturing to other backward areas and hoping to dominate their future through political and military hegemony to eliminate risks. We also don't want to get young immigrants with low education to fill the bottom service industry by disturbing our neighbors in the south.
We must ensure that we have an industrial manufacturing system with all vertical capabilities, without copying the practices of the United States. This is why we are obsessed with industrial automation, which is a different strategy to deal with change driven by different ideologies.
We China people don't have any unusual ability to predict or organize, but we have different views: In the future, the rise of a southern country does not need to regard any other southern country as a mine for nutrients or talents and raw materials. We can stand up from the dust with dignity.
You can robot production all day, if there are no consumers for robot made products, then . . .
Exactly. What happens if nobody has any money to afford the products. Well, everyone will have to be given an income to spend.
People used to say the same thing about computers - when they occupied a whole room. Who could have envisioned those massively size computers would have shrunk down in size as well as cost to make them easily transportable and affordable in less than a generation?
Robots today are cumbersome and expensive but who can tell what tomorrow will bring especially when production is scaled up and different materials are used instead of steel and exotic metals?
It is still business as usual, just reduce the robots. All the money, goods, and services will be only for the elite few. They won't need the working class anymore,UBI for just basic needs then trap them in the metaverse and they'll be happy, don't complain and own nothing.
18 months is a bit too optimistic/pessimistic, depending on your perspective. But if robotics is combined with basic income, then China may indeed lead us into a Star Trek like future where people can work on their passions, and not to survive
That means, that husbands will FINALLY have the time to boldly go where no one has gone before under the sheets...😁
That's not what the future will be with robots...
Elitists have zero interest in taking you along into the future.
When AI and advanced robotics get here, a designer virus will "leak" and kill 80% of the world.
More like, China will control the world.
@@19Marc79WTF?
Bahahaha.
Thanks, Sam. This is a fast moving industry and the most progressive manufacturers in China and USA are investing heavily in this along with utilizing the advances in A.I. This would happen irrespective of government incentives. Demographics in China, Japan and Europe are scary! There is no way that affordable products will be available unless robots are used in manufacturing.
But who will buy those products then? We need more people to help the elderly. Not robots that produce more throw away stuff.
@@stefan2796Robots will be able to help in nursing care as well. It’s a big industry in Japan.
You forgot, SKorea. They have the lowest fertility rate in the world, being 0.72. Their population is just 52 million, while China has 1.4 billion with a fertility rate of 1.28. So do the math.
💤 💤
Lol. China is world leader in low cost labor. They better make it their advantage in robotics as well. Otherwise China, what's your advantage anymore? just a big late shameless copy machine otherwise...
Building these things is not the problem, its the Ai they will put in them that will alter the landscape of the manufacturing world. Scary and fascinating at the same time
Fewer kids and a shrinking population isn't such a big problem for China.
Smart automation is the solution. The West (& advanced China professionals) will start to move to Asia, once their growing infrastructure is ready. Ours is deteriorating.
Fourier Intelligence is a Shanghai base initially, a rehabilitation tech company now entering GAI robotic. Their robotic rehabilitation machine is one of the top notch in the industry. Watch this company.. is going to be big.
Rehab tech? Piss off. What are injecting? Stupidity?
Mr Sam r u a robot ur tireless efforts each an everyone is greatly appreciated tytyty
The old saying, apparently leveled at Henry Ford, is yes technology doesn’t complain, doesn’t need holidays etc BUT doesn’t buy cars either!
I was just thinking. If humans are no longer needed for work and no one has a job with income who will by their products?
The ones who own a robot have income, the others are bums and skidrow will grow into an even bigger giant city
Humans will be always needed for work,but different types of work other than highly repetitive no brain needed type of work.
they should make all their robots with a Bruce Lee face
This is a race to the bottom. Every time a worker is laid off, that's one less taxpayer to support the welfare state. The economy is going to implode, and the masses are going to suffer as a result. It's clear those who are planning these changes don't have a problem with the majority of people just disappearing off the face of the earth, as there won't be the financial resources to support them. Who is going to pay for the Universal Basic Income these people are proposing to replace worker's wages? Surely not the corporations who are trying to save money by introducing these robots? They would just be shifting the expense from one column in their spreadsheets to another. No, they are just hoping to have robots make everything for free for them and for the few people they still need to employ, and everybody else can just be ejected onto the streets and starve. You will own nothing, but you definitely won't be happy. After a period of time, you won't even be alive.
100% it‘s pretty scary and it seems to be happening faster than anyone was hoping for
I suggest you read The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks to give you an idea of what will happen.
you can just tax robot. to the state, they don't really care as long as it is taxable.
That's where social/communism mentality kicks in. The none-competitive economic planning aside the central idea and social expectation is government is suppose to provide means of livelihood for the people, government institutions and social resources are to be used for that purpose. If you lived too long in the west off of free capitalism and enterprise the vast resources are freely in the hands of corporate and private hands, and they have no such obligations towards individuals unless they need them for employment, and they eventually capture government institutions for their own purposes, of course in such system vast low-level working individuals will despair once the only way they can participate via employment will be cutoff by AI and robots.
In places with socialist / communist traditions like China people are less worried, because governments will proactively seek to address this issue and government by far holds the most authority and can command nearly all resources if necessary, its the social norm and expectation for both individuals and government.
It's a case of live by the sword also die by the sword ( responsibility of free individuals, free corporations and free capitalism); and die by the sword (all the ills concerning authoritative governments and command economies) also live by the sword (cultural and social norm of government commanding vast social resources for the people)
During the pandemic, I read where X million people were "coming back" to X/2 jobs. Seems the author wasn't kidding. Do I hear "musical chairs"?
Boy, I'd like to have one of those around the house !
Was just thinking about that! as a part of how this world is changing drastically
Well, with an aging population and retirement age for male at 60 and female at 50/55 depending on industry working. That is the planning so that the standard of living can be improved and substantiated. All the forced labor is on Robots and the products can be made at a much cheaper cost of production and the consumer is the beneficiaries.
Woman generally can work until 70 years, men 60.
are you serious, women in China retired either 50 or 55 in their profession, I hope you have checked your facts before posting@@melissasmess2773
@@melissasmess2773bullshit.
Even if there are hundreds of thousands of humanoid robots population of America is over 350 million, if you hear a company that lays off a couple thousands of people it's like a grain of sand with an ocean of people, maybe in 2040 this is something to worry about.
Automation doesn't decrease overall employment, it changes what people do to earn a living. It is easy for us look back at 19th century farmers complaining about how mechanization of farming would leave thousands without work. Yes, farming jobs decreased but both food production AND employment rose fantastically. Who will volunteer to clear and farm, without tractors or power saws, their 160 acre homestead? Who wants the garment industry sweat shops or even automobile manufacturing jobs when workers had to push the cars along the assembly line?
You are right but judging by the comment section, many of the people don’t have the intelligence to comprehend this.
We haven't seen a single viable humanoid robot yet. Current designs are just clunky. So China is going to mass manufacture them next Tuesday? Seriously?
Would like to see Robots used to grow Healthy Food, freshly picked and brought to the table!!
If you thought the Chinese army was scary, wait until you see half a million of these things coming for you across the battlefield....
All those wire and hydraulic lines sticking out will snag on anything sticking out in the factory! It's called Murphy's law 😂
Its being controlled by a human who has overdosed on Valium.😅😅
Possibly for electricity so the robot don't have to carry a massive battery packs.
We're currently in "the transition", where human society shifted from working for a living, to living for leisure. It will be a roughly decade long shift (2023-33), with UBI kicking in around 2030. Those who are artists will be hit first, then those who code, then those who do data entry jobs. The jobs that will be replaced later on is blue collar trade jobs, since you need solid humanoid robots with great ai to accomplish those tasks. Our whole world economy in undergoing a massive shift. My only advice to people is choose a physical labor job, unless you enjoy constant job hunting.
Naive.
Yep. Totally agree. There is a South Park episode that pretty much nails it.
@@joythought we'll see. When it comes to AI & robots, I know a lot, I follow both topics closely.
physical labor will go soon as well. lawyers and doctors are the ones that will last the longer
Nurse + AI >> Doctor
Declining populations make the race to automated production vital for China, Europe, Japan and South Korea. America also but it has more of a buffer with population growth for another couple decades. They are all going to go all in on it. Sharpened by the breakdown of globalisation and the return of industry policy.
We don’t need 2 legs robots most of the time, we need robots with two perfect hand like humans, robot hand need a skin as sensor😮
An artificial "skin" able to detect pressure and temperature differentials has already been invented - announced only very recently. I believe its developed either in the U.S. or Japan.
But what happens to people who lose physical things like work, nature, sport, etc.? You get sick. mentally and physically ill. We've been experiencing this since around 2001, smartphones and the internet only convey sensory impressions, but not real reality. That's why, for example, a walk in the forest or by the sea feels so good because it's real and we feel more energetic and comfortable. And the world hasn't gotten any better since then. I am of the opinion that they (the robots) should support, but never replace.
But of course the “capitalists” see it differently.
Those guys that work for the big 3 should be scare now.
When you win the equivalent of 100$ an hour to assemble a car should know that the more you ask, the closer you get to the door.
I wonder if Union will try to unionize teh robot
Why do robots need to be humanoid? Why don’t they at least have wheels?
No scared about the fast development of Robots but very scared about the non talking of Universal Basic Income!
China is a very versatile in manufacturing, covering almost every industry.
Sure makes for a strange concatenation of “the workers control the means for production.”
Competition is always good for everyone
U.S should be making hundreds of millions of these humanoid robots and getting manufacturing back to the US. But no, we keep squabbling over if an unborn fetus is a person.
Boston Dynamics - a USA company in robotics - was sold to the South Koreans. That's capitalism for you.
I think you're missing a big element of the story. China has a massive population demographic issue. The one child policy has skewed their gender balance and now they're moving towards a top heavy population of older people with much fewer younger people entering the labour force. These types of robots will be necessary to sustain the population decline .
China facing a population decline will force them to invest in this technology and push them to innovate faster than America.
China also has the lowest retirement age at the age of 50. China has millions of retirees every year in order to give jobs to younger workers.
@@lolcatjunior isn't the youth unemployment rate in China crazy high as well?
@danielcpt3819 What nobody told you was that EUs youth unemployment rate was 26.4 percent in 2013, 6 points higher than China's today. Youth unemployment rates can fall.
it was a question not a statement - I am aware of the EU's youth unemployment rate as I come from the UK and have worked in Europe..@@lolcatjunior
That's why i tell people we've already opened Pandora's box...if we gimp our AI / robotic developments in whatever country then countries like China, Russia, Iran, etc will beat us to it. Right now it's who can get there first, i'm pretty sure we are screwed, safety unfortunately will be on the back burner so let's just hope robots / AI don't end up taking over.
Puts on artificial intelligence regulatory agent hat
*Real World Tools require struggle…*
In order for an autonomous humanoid robot to have any value in a factory, the robot needs to be able to use Real World Tools. However, such tools, even when they are top-of-the-line AND brand new, always require *struggle.* For example, consider the Jacob's chuck of a hand drill. After you tighten a drill bit in the chuck, you then start the drilling task, at which point the bit will probably demonstrate some rotational SLIP. You then have to STOP drilling, immediately followed by re-tightening the drill bit in the chuck. Once re-tightened, you immediately resume drilling. The intelligence of a robot won't be able to duplicate this. A robot's intelligence won't be able to assess that...
• the drill bit is rotationally slipping;
• excessive rotational slip is unacceptable;
• the cause of the rotational slip is due to a need for more Chuck Tightening;
• at the very least, the drilling operation needs to CEASE;
• the drill bit needs to be repositioned and retightened (within the Chuck);
• the Drill Key (which is used to tighten the Jacob's chuck), will always SLIP, even if the drill is top-of-the-line and brand new;
• once the drill bit is suitably retightened, the drilling operation needs to resume.
□ In other words, the task of using a Real World Tool always includes the need *to struggle* with the tool. The intelligence needed to efficiently perform such struggle goes way beyond what the intelligence of an autonomous humanoid robot is capable of.
I'm not afraid of robots, having that mentality will teach their AI that humans are not enemies. The mentality that americans base on their hollywood action movies where they are our enemies is a problem for robot AI learning. Robots are infants at this current stage.
Cool and interesting weird
1:45 Mass production would come after technology matures, so you need feedback from the first-generation robots. Every industrial customer buying thousands of them is probably at least 10 years away. EVs are still waiting for lighter, cheaper and faster charging batteries.
The relevant bit is 'short on detail big on ambition', in a government document. It is truly amazing what some people will believe.
The Chinese government accomplished everything so far
@@DaddyBear205 Everything? If by everything you mean ruining the country for the Chinese people then sure they did; regards to Winnie btw.
Having robots, labour is no longer relevant. So it will make sense to make manufacturing local (US, EU).
Labor is not the only factor in manufacturing industry. Duh…
In the time of China economy downturn, they stopped reporting the graduate unemployment after 20%. And now they are making things to replace humans.
Interesting how they walk. Very similar to the current leader of the USA.
I want a robot that can cook my dinner and clean the bathroom. To hell with building things.
And your partner will want one to provide what you are unable too?
If a robot can provide all ur needs, many will no longer want a relationship.
Humanoid robots have no practical application in manufacturing. Task specific robots are, on the other hand, efficient and cost effective.
We need Irobot sequel . Push the robot to the boundaries of it emotional capabilities until we achieve singularity and live forever in digital universe.
I cant wait for these robots to take over the work for us
Moving at the speed of a Sloth.
Glacial 😊
Isn't it easier to use wheels on a concrete factory floor than bipedal? 4 legs worked well in US military research: Boston Robotics LS3 robotic mule. It was too noisy.
The spark that inhabits man will inevitably jump to a new carapace. Already we are slowing down and yielding to the machines. How far will we regress as they progress? How long until they stand in judgment of us as we stand in judgement of the apes and monkeys?
We told you to GO VEGAN and stop mass murdering billions of sentiant animals, you should have listened now the bloody bills are coming.
That will be creating unemployment layoffs and social unrest. Is that what they really want?
I own a Car Detail Cleaning business, I'd hire a few to try out
cool, need a website? I build 'em
No one goes to work
Therefore no one earns money
Therefore who earns money to buy the things the robots make?
China already has a huge unemployment problem with low skilled workers. What could go wrong...
“Robots will not replace us!”
I mean while setting such a goal is indeed a right move, that doesn't automatically make them get ahead in robotics. The biggest advancement for decades in robotics have been coming from USA companies. Then how come USA anthropomorphic robots are barely folding cothes in a static place and the chinese ones are skillfully building cars?
Think about it, China is a culture of "saving face", of course they'll say they are super advanced at this point, but at the same time I'm pretty sure that if the claims were 100% honest you'd see thousands of videos on the internet about how the chinese robots are manufacturing cars with amazing skill and precision. I don't buy it, China will indeed be one of the countries at the forefront of robotics at some point, but they don't have some super robots hidden somewhere right now.
I Am Robot with Chinese characteristics
Good bring robots on ,,I want to relax and not work 😂
Of course Ch8na will try for dominating the humanoids market.
But we can guess that they won't be allowed in the USA. So, the humanoids taking American jobs will be American, perhaps Mexican.
China's advantage is that they are leading in manufacturing, except for Tesla that is.
We are entering wild times. That’s for sure. It’s the Legend of John Henry for the modern ages.
Kinda frustrating isnt it. If we humans understood that we have a huge influence on what happens with our purchasing decisions..
But first we would have to become healthy people who can make such well thought-out decisions.
But who knows what will happen to all those unemployed people. If there's enough pressure and people have more time, maybe they'll wake up at some point...
Trump said, if he become the president he will ask the Chinese EV-car company build factory in the US, as long as the factory use American workers.
1,5 Billion Chinese just discovered they are now surplus to requirements
Coming to a county near you soon
But I won't buy one until it can cook and wash for me.
Coming up ... robot wars !
Robots will take over much of our work. Five-days work week becomes Two-days work week. Most people have too much time on their hands.
Are we going to spend the free time to learn new stuffs like learning how to play piano? This may be true for some people. But I doubt that many people will spend the free time to learn anything.
Are we going to spend the free time to help people in need? I doubt this.
Are we going to do more exercise like what we have promised to do in New Year? May be true for a small number of people. But most likely not for the rest of people.
Are we going to spend the free time to understand people who have the opposite opinion of ours? No way. People will simply spend more time in an echo chamber with like minded people.
We will likely spend more time in CZcams and TikTok in the virtual world instead of in the real world. Our brain will turn to mush, and our bodies will be fatter and fatter.
Don't forget the military 😢😢😢
I think replacing jobs in manufacturing or other manual labour tasks will be the least of our worries. Weaponised platforms with human agility will be the end game
"BYD and"..... N....what was the company you have forgot to mention? :)
Nio
Figure and openAI have the best robot I've seen
Why would they put so much tech to have them walking similar to humans. It would be much easier and more efficient to have them on wheels, and as far as crouching, it would be much better to use a piston to elevate and lower it . Even if this were all true . There will a lot of jobs building them. Once they are built and on the job, there will be mass unemployment so the economy will crash, or it will be a utopian world. A world where fusion will power robots to produce everything we need, and we go on a permanent vacation. Let's hope it doesn't end up in an Arnold Schwarzenegger situation
Uh, the first manufacturing job for humanoid robots may be building humanoid robots. Why wouldn't they?
As far as I'm concerned, humans are robots created by aliens from the N. Star.or beyond.
They run off Human soup.
So robots work and we sleep as long as we want and later drink beer on the beach. Yeah that sounds pretty awful.

Danger is the top 5% think they no longer need the other 95% of Humanity???
@@drivingforcebehinduDid you mean America? I don't imagine UBI becoming commonplace anytime soon in the United corporations of America 😂
Who pays your beer?
You lost your job, and can’t afford a house anymore.
@@hanswitvliet8188 The robots earn the money, but because they don't drink beer, they give it to us. Simple as kissing,
The government is not helping Elon at all. The opposite is happening😢
IF you haven't noticed auto plants are already highly robotic; they don't look like humans because there isn't any need for a human looking robot in fact the tire idea is stupid because there are very few situations where you need to have something walking via legs and seeing like a human. Do you need a humanoid robot to play a piano? No they've had player pianos and now programmed synthetic pianos for 150 years. The only reason for a humanoid looking robot is to replace sex workers.
How woould that even be possible?
Gollum from Terry Pratchett in real life.
So does US companies. Tesla, BostonDynamics etc. nothing different in approach.
I don't believe it. Robots need many more years to be commercially viable. It would be totally cool if true.
Also BTW the Chinese AI enabled public security system is called SKY Net 😅😅 Not a joke.
No worry, the US and EU will impose 100% on import of Chinese robots on the good reason that the CCP subsidized the development. I am betting on Tesla and Figure AI robots.
Figure 1 also get as investor all big producer of chip's except TSMC: Intel, Samsung, IBM, not just NVIDIA!
Battlestar Galactica here we come!
This is the same robot that Elon said will save America!
And Elon is a proponent of 'need more population of humans', while setting up the 'off world colonisation' movement, because we've destroyed this one.
Hypothetically, a General Purpose Robot (GPR) can do all 'human manual labour' tasks, which isn't necessarily a humanoid robot. It may be a unit with 5 agile tentakels with 100 different tools at its disposal, with exotic sensors, in a stable fixed position, able to change position quickly as well on wheels or on (three) tentakels. How useful and cost effective is a GPR? Cheaper GPRs are less versatile and less precise. It could be that the most cost effective robot is indeed a humanoid robot with separate tools, but this assumption might be incorrect. Is a cost effective GPR humanoid, and is it cheaper than a human considering the full life cycle of the GPR?
There may be robots with tentacles and wheels. We have a lot of different robots in factories already. However if a manufacturer is looking to save labour costs, surely a humanoid robot is the obvious choice. Once the humans are out of the way it may be possible to consider if tentacles would be an improvement. Actually places like Amazon have difficulty creating robots that can grip the things that a human can. Suckers work with many solid items but are less successful with bags and soft surfaces. Grips work with some shapes but not so well with others. Some products are easily damaged.
A GPR robot works much greater hours than a human. It can work all three or four shifts, seven days a week for the complete year. Sure there may be some downtime but the same is true of humans. If it costs more than the equivalent cost of a human working those hours, it would have to be quite expensive. Given that there will be economies of scale to build such robots, that seems unlikely.
Hypothetical is another word for ......jack shit
@@robertfonovic3551 Agreed. The big question is, is a humanoid robot that can do more than jack shit still worth it?
I think this is ridiculous, look at the fingers on the humanoids! They can't compete with humans and they are too slow and too clumsy. If you could put intelligence into machines you wouldn't start with humanoids.
Imagine someone trying to do their job with a teleoperated humanoid. That is where you could employ one of these. Practically nowhere.
Oh dear. You show how ignorant the masses are. Think of an iPhone in 2007. Compare it to an iPhone in 2012, just 5 years. Fast forward to 2024. Get the point? The performance of the robot will not be linear. As with anything to do with technology, the curve is exponential. In a nutshell, for now, robots will do mundane tasks with an odd robotic gait and look clumsy and next to useless. In 5 years, they will dance better than Fred Astaire ever could and those clumsy looking digits will be able to sort through the tiniest of components and select what is required.
@@LouDeVere You'll have to wait 5 years to know if your "ignorant" remark is correct.
I've seen this movie, and it doesn't end well for us.

If Robots create unemployment, who is going to buy the cars… Will the EV industry eat itself 😂
The new “space race’ except the race is for robots.
Well done China
I simply don’t understand why these robots have to look like humans. Walking on 2 feet and having hands is so unproductive. Why not optimise???
Similarity makes them better at imitating human beings so that they are better at replacing human jobs.
