The Time Has Come for Robots.
I build AI Agents to replace office workers, but these demos convince me! All physical labor will be gone to robots, too. (even the world's oldest profession).
Just watch it if you disagree. The biggest robot thread ever (50 demos):

1. Neogamma.
General purpose humanoid robot for home.

2. Nvidia Blue.
Runs on Newton, an open-source physics engine developed by NVIDIA and Deepmind.
It's so good that it looks like 3d render, but it's actually real.

3. GR00T N1, the world’s first open foundation model for humanoid robots! It learns from the most diverse physical action dataset ever compiled.
Runs the end-to-end neural net with 2B parameters.

4. Planar Motor - Leviating robots with micro precision.
Super cheap and precise. Can be used in so many business use cases.

5. Amazon Kiva.
The have more than 750,000 of these robots. Just crazy to think how much human labor has been replaced by them and will be replaced further.

6. Humanoid robots are already moving just like humans. Very soon, there won't be any difference. The demo versions prove this. Moving from a demo case to the real world and mass production isn't easy, and it'll take maybe 10 years.

7. Not all robots gonna be super expensive.
This one is open source and costs just $300. It's called Bambot.

10. General-purpose robots don't need to be programmed for a specific job. They can learn by watching a human doing the job.

11. Not all robots gonna look like humans.
Some will be shaped for a single task, but by doing so, they may replace entire class of human workers.
e.g. construction, moving, manufacturing, lifting.. Once you add AI there, they become so much more useful

12. Robots can be on a factory floor alongside humans, but eventually, human companions will not be needed. Perhaps just one "master human" watching them all to make sure robots don't start to fight for resources :D

13. The robotics field is becoming so popular that people have dropped out of MIT to start robotics startups.
Software will soon be commoditized, and we will enter the age of Hardware and Robots.

Founders Inc@fdotinc
so @bipashasen31 dropped out of her PHD @MIT to build her dream robot.
lmao, meet the team that was crazy enough to join her.

15. Robots can be built using very durable materials and serve for decades. They can fix themself if needed. Simply walk down to the repair shop and come back as humans visit the hospital.

24. Today washing machines and dishwashers took away the boring labor, tomorrow pretty much all the rest of the boring labor will be gone too.
First the upper class will be able to afford it, but eventually everyone, as the price drops. (gemini 2.0)
