How Realistic Are Today’s Robots?

Go to brilliant.org/coldfusion for 20% off!
The world of robotics is advancing pretty quickly. There’s been a flurry of robotics companies popping up from nowhere with impressive offerings. But what are the best robots around today? And why is this happening all of a sudden? We've already covered Figure AI before so let's see what other robots are out there.

A couple of corrections: On the point of Astribot claiming that the Tesla Bot demo was faked, Elon did in fact openly say that it was being tele-operated at the time. So apologies for missing that. There’s also an image of Andrej Karpathy used instead of Milan Kovac. Enjoy the video!

[@jixxytrix1705]

But what are you gonna do? If you live alone in a small apartment, do you really need an assistant? It takes me about ten minutes to vacuum my apartment. I do that twice a week, sometimes three. The dishes I need to clean consist of one plate, one fork, one knife and one glass. I do the pan and the spatula as I finish up cooking. A robot assistant would be overkill. If you live in a house with a family, you have little bio-bots to help you with chores. Children! To have a robot do chores instead of making it a life lesson for your offspring is just bad parenting. I don't see the need for robots. It's just gonna kill the job market...

I believe the real breakthrough in robotics will come from a general purpose mobility AI that can be plugged into any robotic system and can understand the different parts that makes up its body. Right now, every robot is trained to perform tasks at its most optimal state under perfect conditions in a perfectly working body. Once an AI comes out that can 1. understand the physical world its in and 2. understand how its own body operates at any given time, I believe we'll see another breakthrough. Imagine a robot with a rusty arm or a malfunctioning leg. Right now, any robot with these issues would simply fail and fall over. Now imagine a robot that understands "hey, my left leg isn't working at full functionality, but if I limp I can still complete the task I need to do." That's the real breakthrough tech we need to see. Once that happens, robots will actually be a viable alternative.

[@froschreiniger2639]

so true. Building the body is easy enough. The mind not so much.

[@lianghao7128]

That is dictatorship, in a very bad way. If each robot company trains their own AI, then each AI will eventually become useful. If one AI controls all robots, the human outcome will be very dangerous because the world will not need so many people, even engineers.

Yeah he didn't even mention how fast robots have been developed in just the past months. In 2 years we'll already have something. In 10 years we'll be way past that point. Robots will automate most of the things by then

[@Infernal_Puppet]

I think 10 years seems reasonable for it to be a general consumer item. The initial production will predominantly go to industrial and logistics applications. Then you’ll have you early adopters and tech enthusiasts working out the kinks. And finally it will go mainstream once core tasks like cleaning are ready.

[@dodgechance4564]

I think you're underestimating the difficulties of production. Even if robotic capabilities increase exponentially (which there is no guarantee they will, it isn't as if it's a physical law), that doesn't mean they will be affordable or mass-produced in that time frame. It takes a very long time for the factories, supply chains, and organizational and supply economies of scale to reach a sufficient extent for an entirely new product category to service the mass market. Sure, I could perhaps see a takeover in, say, amazon warehouses. Since their layouts are well-planned purpose built from the ground up and the company is very large so efficiency savings matter a lot across the whole workforce, but even more importantly they have a shitload of money. Most small to medium sized businesses, which are the businesses that employ the large majority of people, will not have sufficient capital. Nor will they see significant enough gains from efficiency savings to make up said costs for it to make sense for them. Not until the price comes down, and or the robot is genuinely almost as fast and as good as a person. So perhaps they will increase in capability as quickly as you say (I'm very doubtful), but in terms of actually seeing them used commonly in the real world, it will likely be much longer. I'm talking 20 years minimum, even building a factory to mass-produce these robots would likely take 3-4 years from the first brick being put down to become operational, and obviously, we're nowhere even close to that step anyway. Not to mention potential delays since the factory would have to be bespoke since it's not like anything that came before.

The idea of robots replacing so many human tasks in the future sounds interesting to me. Seems inevitable that robots/AI will replace 99% of human jobs eventually. But the main concern that i have is, if every human is free to do whatever they want in the future and didn't have to work, then who carries out the "maintenance" work on the robots and makes sure that they're working correctly?

Not sure if any of the ColdFusion team replies to comments, but given their coverage of AI and especially AI ethics, I would love to see them start to explicitly disclose how and where it's used in these videos.

Unless you are attaching a Fleshlight to it, a humanoid robot doesn't have much of a use case. The entire idea of a robot is to do a few things super efficiently for super cheap relative to humans. A humanoid robot is generalist and basically antithetical to automated efficiency.

You do realize there's hundreds of millions of people globally that are disabled like me and can't do a lot of daily tasks without extreme pain, those tasks are all human tasks in home, can't be done by some robotic arm, needs to be a general purpose humanoid robot to do those tasks.

[@bozydargroch9779]

The thing I don't quite understand is why are they trying so hard to make humanoid robots? Unless it's entertainment sector, we just need them to do their work properly and without failures, no need to waste effort to make their shape unnecessarily complex. I get it, it may potentially be "cool" to have humanoid robot at home, but that's the next natural step. First things first, we should focus on making them work properly and THEN improve their appearance.

Every time the question is asked "Is this the future or is it a fad?" The answer is almost always fad. Even when it is the future, it's an over hyped and exaggerated future.

[@mateuszkwietowicz2470]

For the near future, I forsee the same problem as with vertical farming. The key problem is - that manual labour is cheaper and more abundantly available and more versetile than robot labour. The robot labour may be more productive, but overall - it requires more costly operators, servicemen and programmers to operate in a changing environment, and if it brakes - you cannot easily replace it like a simple physical worker - you need to purchase another one - which is more costly than just hiring some extra workers, or better yet - giving your other workers extra duties for a limited amount of time. For example... if an old person requires help with daily tasks - she can hire help every other day for a small amount of money - like someone doing laundry and cleaning once every 2 weeks. If someone is incapable of basic house chores - he / she can hire varius helpers and there is a large pool of them - from specialized care and nursing people, to just asking neighbors or their kids to do some chores for a few bucks here and there... also family members are key - often younger children will help their elderly family members for free. Purchasing a home robot is expensive and it requires knowledge and service that an ordinary person cannot afford - even a very basic robot (basically a replacement for a signpost or an advertisment screen) is very expensive, requires assembly, knowlegde of how to program or use commands etc. Still very non functional even today. I know the arguments for robotic labour have not changed since the last decade: no wages, no sleep, no rest, will work in hazardous environments or tough climate - but it has not happened yet. McDonalds still has people frying the burgers and not robots. Sure, they have sacked a bunch of cashiers due to rising wages, but notice that they replaced them with simple touch pannels - but the labour is still being done - just not by McDonalds workers - this is not replacing workers with robots, this is shifting a part of it's workers to other tasks and forcing those tasks upon clients - it's the same as if at a restaurant you hail a waiteress to order drinks, but instead of bringing them to you she points out where the glasses are and drink filling station - and you go and do it yourself. Her job has not been replaced by a robot - you are doing her job. The labour is still there, the worker has been tasked with other tasks and you are paying the same and doing part of their labour yoursell. The rising costs of labour didn't make businesses turn to robots, no, they are turning all services basically into a salad bar - where you go with your plate and fill it yourself, pay for it and return the empty plate - all the job is being done not by robots, but by clients. It's still much cheaper to hire a minimum wage worker, train him for a day or two and have him do cleaning, cooking, serving, unloading boxes etc and he is also flexible - you can switch his tasks on a go - just tell him to grab a mop or get some boxes from the freezer - and he will do it. With a robot - it requires a setup and controlled environment - you cannot tell any robot now to "stop frying and get a mop and go clean a mess in the next room" - or to clean the toilets. A robot needs precise instructions, repetative tasks and monitoring to not screw up - that is why, we don't see them at simple jobs. Even in a warehouse - I saw a robot that firstly impressed me - it was just a stationary arm picking up boxes and stacking them up on a pallet and instantly I thought it would be usefull at shop that sells a lot of packages - but the more I thought about it, the less appealing it got - sure it does a lot of labour for free, and never tires, but he almost never hire workers just for 1 task alone, appart from many factory workers (and those have been replaced by robots decades ago) - a warehouse worker doesn't just pickup boxes and stacks them - he also loads them and unloads them on a truck, drags the pallets with a forklift , signs documents, decides which deliveries are for warehouse and which for the office, he also maintains the warehouse - cleans, carries out the trash, pick ups stuff, cleans spills, calls on the supervisor, opens up and closes down the building, maintains stuff, he also moves stuff out of the way so that the pallets migh pass or people get in - and sometimes he does stuff outside, sometimes inside - and he is simple to replace - if he gets sick, someone else can cover for him with minimal supervision, but what if you expensive robot that is stationary and only stacks boxes has broken ? You need to call a specialized technician - it's more like a computer breaking, than a physical worked getting injured - you can replace a worker within minutes, you cannot replace a broken computer - it needs to be setup, passwords input, programs installed, the broken one needs to be move out of the way and stored. You need either expensive on call servicemene or specialized staff - like the IT department, who are way more expensive than simple manual workers. There is a myriad problems and high maintenance costs for simple jobs to be replaced - sure, if someone is doing one single task - his job may be on the line, but also not fully - like if you are just packing stuff - a regular worker will notice when things are wrong - let's say you are selling shoes online and you hire a worker to carry stuff from the shelf to the table, pack it and put in on a pallets - a worker will realize someone misplaced shoes and put the wrong item on the wrong shelf - a robot will not find the item, because he will not think to look for the shoes where they shouldn't be. A worker will open the box, to check if both shoes are there, is they are both for left and right feet, if they are the same model, color or size - finally if they are the same side inside the box than what's on the outside label - a robot will not do those tasks. A worker will notice if there is an error in the address that a robot might miss - for example if somebody made a mistake in their email adress and wrote gamil instead of gmail - which happens - a robot will not notice this, since he doesn't know that people make such mistakes and it takes experience on the job to know such issues occur - something which programmers won't think off, and simple repetative training might never occur and fix. There are many tasks that will replace people with robots, but some jobs won't - even if labour is expensive, replacing one worker with 5-6 robots is not saving you any money, and we are very far away from a robot that can do multiple tasks as well as a human can.
