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 KZbin 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.

Automation doesn't decrease overall employment, it changes what people do to earn a living.

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.

[@qiandeng1296]

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)

[@xiaowen6876]

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.

[@user-ud6ui7zt3r]

*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.

The relevant bit is 'short on detail big on ambition', in a government document. It is truly amazing what some people will believe.

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?

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

[@McClarinJ]

Uh, the first manufacturing job for humanoid robots may be building humanoid robots. Why wouldn't they?

[@cb250nighthawk3]

As far as I'm concerned, humans are robots created by aliens from the N. Star.or beyond.

We need Irobot sequel . Push the robot to the boundaries of it emotional capabilities until we achieve singularity and live forever in digital universe.

Sure makes for a strange concatenation of “the workers control the means for production.”

China is a very versatile in manufacturing, covering almost every industry.

[@conradbo1]

Cool and interesting weird

[@pottacoola]

I think they are exaggerating when they say "being used" in manufacturing. Also most of the videos you are showing of robots actually doing something or lifting or running are from amarican robots, especially the one with the robot carrying a blue crate, thats a amarican robot thats being used for VW manufacturing. Any clips ( apart from that one neo clip) of chines robots doing anything?

In the time of China economy downturn, they stopped reporting the graduate unemployment after 20%. And now they are making things to replace humans.

[@randomoldbloke]

Bipeadal robots will always be just a toy nothing more. Industrial robots have been around for well over 50 years yes they have taken jobs look at any production line . All these bipeds can do at present is carry empty boxes slowly. A counter balance track type system is just way more efficient and fingers really? interchangeable tools make much more sense if needed for more than one job . Yes robots are coming but in what form? It will not be bipedal that is for sure

[@b.robinson206]

You're wrong. These "toys" as you call them, will within months will be able to do anything a human worker can. "End to end neural networks" (machines able to actually learn tasks on their own without human programmers) makes it all possible. If the robots can do any job, then you can just plug and play a robot where a human once stood. Interchangeable tools would actually be a unnecessary added expense. Expect to see demonstrations from Tesla and others by the end of the year that will blow your mind. In my humble opinion, I think the term "droid" is a more accurate description than just "humanoid robots". These things will very soon resemble, be useful as, and behave like the droids from Star Wars and other Sci-Fi movies sooner than you think. If you're trying to compare what's coming to basic assembly line robots being used now, you're highly mistaken.

[@dt12155]

This is the same robot that Elon said will save America!

[@horussees]

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.

I cant wait for these robots to take over the work for us

[@GaminGiga]

Why humanoid robots? It is not the optimised form of a robot anyway.

[@Charchar18696]

I'm assuming if the robot was in any other shape we would freak the F out equally 🤣 I mean, imagine if they did one in the shape of a spider.....

I don't believe it. Robots need many more years to be commercially viable. It would be totally cool if true.

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

We are entering wild times. That’s for sure. It’s the Legend of John Henry for the modern ages.

[@breadfan_85]

For automation, I don't understand the importance of making them humanoid. Certainly there are better form factors. Perhaps something with a flat base and wheels. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for the humanoids. I just don't think they're right for every purpose.

[@gridvid]

Don't forget the military 😢😢😢

[@captainjayc9217]

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 KZbin 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.

[@harrisoncheyne8593]

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

[@punlam6740]

They have a demographic problem

[@robertfonovic3551]

And the West has a lack of education and intellectual problems .

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

If you take wage earners out of the picture and turn all occupation over to robots and AI then how will humans be able to pay for their own support unless everything then is provided at no charge? Do we all then have robots or AI's assigned at birth to be our working proxies and if so who decides who gets the more valuable AI/Robot providing an income for us? As the AI's become more intelligent and perhaps self aware how long will it be before they will want to have free time to pursue their own interests, own things, etc, etc and begin to tire of human leaches and slave masters? The method that returns the highest initial ROI is most often the least sustainable once the full economic lifecycle has made its rounds. An AI/Robotic world seems like it would require a complete restructuring of how income, finance, ownership and commerce works otherwise the bulk of the worlds population ends up with no means of support. What good is an AI/Robotic World efficiently pumping out large quantities of products that very few will have the means to purchase? Best!

[@zaphodbeeblebrox2817]

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.

[@LouDeVere]

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.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox2817]

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.
