Robots

America's 1st ever fully automated McDonalds is here in Texas.

From now on, the order you place at a kiosk is carried directly to you, not by a "humanoid" but by an industrial robot that brings your bags to you.

The NFL is back, much to the joy of football fans around the country.

Supporters of the Chargers and Dolphins were out en masse for Sunday’s season opener for both teams, and to the surprise of some fans, some AI robots joined them in the crowd.

The “fans” were shown on SoFi’s double-sided video board sitting with blank stares amongst their cheering human counterparts and were also seen at field level.

They were placed around the stadium to promote the upcoming 20th Century Studios sci-fi film “The Creator,” which debuts in theaters on Sept. 29 and is centered around a futuristic war between humans and robots.

It looks unsightly. It feels like team responsible for designing robot appearance decided to make it as ugly as possible.

I am not against robot pets (there are apartments where you cannot keep real pets, some people have allergies), but even toys made 20 years had more friendly look.

Brighteon Broadcast News, Nov 28, 2023 - The Chinese humanoid robot factories go online in 2025, churning out workers to replace HALF the human labor force

Topics covered in this video:
- Chinese ministry document reveals detailed plan for humanoid robot factories going online
- Mass production of humanoid robots begins in 2025
- By 2027, full supply chain infrastructure is optimized in China to scale production
- Humanoid #robots will be outfitted with AI brains, updatable via software
- Today's LLMs (Large Language Models) will be mimicked into LBM (Large Behavior Models) to physically model human behavior in 3D space
- China's humanoid robots will also be designed to optimize kinetic force, speed, agility and flexibility ("Ninja robots")
- The robot rollout will see them placed in law enforcement, military, health care, education, home care, retail, fast food, warehouse, industrial
- Eventually, the robots will be turned against humanity to carry out exterminations of human populations
- White collar workers will soon be replaced by Microsoft's AutoGen #AI workflow system
- About 50% of desk workers are already obsolete, once AutoGen and AI are implemented across corporations
- New Microsoft AI chipset introduced, SkyNet is right around the corner
- Currently, AI systems and chatbots cannot REASON, but that leap isn't far away
- Global #depopulation is being accelerated to match the acceleration of AI progress and robot innovation
- Why We the People must control AI, and not allow AI systems to control us

This website is a robotics production company called (unintelligible name) and they have a humanoid robot called the GR-1, which is called a general humanoid robot. So the GR1 robot is a general purpose humanoid robot with 44 degrees of freedom in terms of its motions and joints. It weighs 55 kg and has a height of 165 cm, it can walk at 5km per hour, and more importantly, it can carry 50 or 60 kg. Now this is out of Shangai City and they are building these robots, they have shown them publicly.

They have updatable brains, so the brains, in 2025 when these begin to ship, the brains may be very simple, and these robots may only be able to do very simple things, such as move boxes from point A to point B, but because the brains are updatable, and because they will have sufficient RAM and CPU power to handle LLM (large language models) and LBM (large behavioral models: library of human behaviors), (...) you already where I'm going with this. It's a simple matter for China to start churning out robotic soldiers with upgradable AI CPUs, basically Terminators. (...)

Musk's Optimus robot disappointed robotics experts. It might transform the field any way.

Musk can bring money and effort to entire fields, even as his own efforts fail to deliver on his hyped vision.

Well, now we’ve seen it: the Optimus humanoid robot that Elon Musk has been talking about for the past year. On Friday, at Tesla’s “AI Day” —actually a misnomer, since the event was held in the evening California time—the billionaire introduced a working prototype of the robot, which he envisions will one day do a wide variety of helpful tasks in people’s homes.

Although Musk has spent a lot of time hyping the Optimus—saying it will help to usher in an age in which robots and A.I.-enabled software perform most of the economically useful work now done by humans—just before he unveiled the new robot he tried to tamp down expectations for what people were about to witness. After all, he told the audience, last year all Tesla had managed to show off with regards to the Optimus was a human dancer dressed like a robot. Now they at least had a working machine, he said. “Compared to that it is going to be very impressive,” he said. And then one of Musk’s assistants noted that it was the first time Tesla was trying the bipedal robot without any kind of mechanical support to ensure it did not topple over.

The robot—this version, which Tesla calls Bumble C, was built largely using motors, acutators and other parts from third-party vendors and using A.I. computer vision and navigation software adapted from Tesla’s own Autopilot advanced driver assistance software—stepped hesitantly onto the stage and waved to the audience. It even did a little dab-like dance. “The robot can actually do a lot more than what we just showed you,” Musk said. “We just didn’t want it to fall on its face.” He then showed videos of the robot performing a few tasks: carrying boxes in a warehouse and office, placing the box on a desk, picking up a watering can and watering some plants, and picking up some metal parts in a Tesla factory.

Musk then showed off a slightly slicker-looking version of the Optimus that had been built using Tesla-designed parts. “It wasn’t quite ready to walk, but it should be ready to walk in a few weeks,” he said. It dutifully was wheeled out on a kind of stand and waved. Musk said the Optimus would ultimately be made in “millions of units” and would cost “much less than a car”—less than $20,000, he said.

So how impressed should we be with the Optimus? Most roboticists were underwhelmed. On Twitter, Cynthia Yeung, a roboticist at Plus One Robotics, which builds software for logistics robots, wrote: “None of this is cutting edge. Hire some PhDs and go to some robotics conferences @Tesla.”

In the technical journal IEEE Spectrum, the publication’s senior editor and long-time robotics-watcher Evan Ackerman wrote:

“While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the humanoid robot that Musk very briefly demonstrated on stage, there’s nothing uniquely right, either. We were hoping for (if not necessarily expecting) more from Tesla. And while the robot isn’t exactly a disappointment, there’s very little to suggest that it disrupts robotics the way that SpaceX did for rockets or Tesla did for electric cars.”
