Walking as fast as a human may be necessary, but it's definitely not sufficient. Remember the guy in a robot costume dancing on stage at the Teslabot announcement a couple of years ago? When I see Optimus doing that, I'll be impressed. A humanoid bot needs this much physical dexterity to replace much human labor, but physical dexterity is only the tip of the iceberg. A gibbon has phenomenal dexterity that no human gymnast can match, but a gibbon will never replace a human worker in a factory. The difference is between the ears, not in the finger tips.
Thanks for the technical analysis of figure 02, gave some good insight. Short Note for Scott: please dont use the word exoskeletton in the context of humanoid robots. I mean you could technically let figure wear an exo but that kind of misses the point😂
How many humanoid robots does it take to change the lightbulb in your garage? ..... All of them - not one humanoid robot in existence can: 1) Find the lightbulb in the closet 2) Find a ladder tall enough to get to the light fixture 3) Climb the ladder 4) Look up and with both hands unscrew the old bulb and insert the new one since it is so far above the ladder 5) Climb back down and put the ladder away 6) Dispose of the old bulb I'm guessing it will take 5+ years for this to happen What we are witnessing are things that were hailed back in the 1960's and little progress has been made.
