humanoid robots

“We believe that the first place we're going to see general purpose robots like the humanoid robots really take off is in the industrial sector because of two things. One, the demand is great there because we have the shortage of workers. and also because …”

“They'll probably show up in a kitchen in somebody's home in Japan before they show up in a kitchen in somebody's home in, in Munich, Germany.”

“Unitree Robotics currently account for about 70% of global sales of humanoid robots, 40% of market share of quadruped robots, and that's just like a solid leader in the industry, and I think their cheapest model goes for something like 16,000 dollars, so it's …”

“Like to me, applying the human form factor to robotics rather than actually having specialized robots that actually solve specific problems and are built, because again, right now you go to any automated warehouse, it's not humanoid robots moving around. It's …”

“When you build AI with a world model that understands physics, objects, how things work together, then you want to go humanoid robot, or maybe, you know, souped up robot that takes a humanoid form because all of a sudden you can be functional. Like the idea th…”

“There's just gonna be discomfort there, and people are going to keep attacking these things.”

“I do anticipate that we'll have humanoid robots around, but the question is how good can the industry get them, and how safe can the industry get them?”

“I mean, they're not going to be programmed to fight back. Like all this alignment work is going to be done for them not to fight back.”

“Humanoid actually doesn't solve a lot of problems because you don't get more density out of your warehouse. You want real estate density. You want to be able to stack the goods all the way to the ceiling, jam them in. So it's more, the form factor is not going…”

“Well, I think we will definitely have a war among people and humanoid robots. It's without a doubt. Even if the humanoid robots don't assemble into the army, people will knock these things out and they're already burning Waymos. People don't like robots. They …”

“A robot that is going to be with you in your house, and it's going to do everything you ask the robot to do it's going to take a time to train that. It's very difficult. It's difficult. Every house is not going to be the same. Every task is not going to be the…”

“I don't understand why robots need a human form factor. I want purpose-built and whatever this tabletop robot is doing on that table, I'm sure it's something very helpful.”

“The artificial hands, the artificial bodies that we are trying to build for humanoid robots and so on, they are evolving much less rapidly than the compute per dollar. And I think that's the main problem.”

“People love to hype about it. They're saying, look, human robots are going to be deployed in the next three to five years in the mass market. He gave me a rough number of 10 years again, and I believe him, because I've seen a lot of these robots. They frankly …”
