Not using your humanoid to make humanoids is proof that humanoids are a scam. All commercial applications with scale will be won by super-human, purpose-build robots.

if your logic made sense then there would be no factories or industries still employing humans, as they would have been automated for cheaper.... whatever roles humans still perform now, will however be able to be replaced by humanoid bots.
Every technological advancement in history was made with previous versions of technology. Humanoid robots will be needed for any jobs that require humans. Humanoids were never intended to replace specialized robots. They will always have a place serving in spaces shared by
Humans still have jobs because robots aren't intelligent enough to perform most tasks, not because robots aren't shaped like humans. Once manipulation is solved, simple robot arms, not humanoids, will automate everything.

Thatโ€™s right, Iโ€™ve always said that until cars can be used to assemble other cars, cars are a complete and total scam.
The human form is a universal interface. Very obvious the market for robots that can do anything a human can do physically is huge.
Asking as an interested observers of the robotics industry. What gives you confidence that purpose-built is better long-term versus simply being better right now? Again, asking without having any affinity for either argument
Jesus Christ calm down. The first ones will obviously have to be built more traditionally. โ€œNot being about to directly clone itselfโ€ is a nonsensical bar for general utility.
I don't agree. Humanoids have potential in spaces where human-like interaction matters, like caregiving or hospitality. Super-human purpose-built robots may dominate industries needing efficiency, but humanoids aren't necessarily a scam. They're just tackling different use cases.
Humanoid robots building humanoid robots is a silly idea. Just because you have a screwdriver in a swiss army knife, it doesn't mean it's going to be better than an electric screwdriver as a tool to screw screws. Now, if there was any human doing stuff on that video, on the other
It's "purpose-built". The argument is kind of silly. Eventually humanoids will be able to build humanoids, but you don't go from 0 to 100 in a flash of lightning. People will prefer one machine that is highly mobile, looks like them and can do most tasks out of the box.
No one is saying humanoids will replace specialized robots. The case is for humanoids to replace low/mid skilled labour, like cleaners, road work, some ad hoc handling work in factories. Specialized industrial robots will still have their place.
โ€œCommercial applications with scaleโ€ is a narrow enough that โ€œscamโ€ is a silly word to use.
I was thinking the same thing but didnโ€™t want to get blocked. I have block fatigue, and could still learn from those who blocked me , paulg, garrytan, lexfridman, etc, but this was exactly my thought (well, my poijt was, you have the robots, use them, this is what 3d printers
Humanoid robots are good for human focused tasks. There are better robots for different tasks, especially manufacturing. Iโ€™m sure some assembly tasks may shift over but you wouldnโ€™t switch over to them in all conditions
You're only thinking about one small aspect of the total potential market for humanoid robots. Sure, in big factories it will be more efficient to use large, purpose-built machines. But there are dozens of other tasks humans currently do that robots could. Also, think military
This argument doesn't hold water. The hypothesis is that humanoid robots will be more versatile in open ended settings humans operate in. Using specialist robots for fixed tasks is not a counterexample.
Not entirely true. There are some things humanoids will not accel at, which larger-scale industrial robots are purpose-built for. The main benefits of humanoid robots is that they can perform close-to-or-better than humans at tasks that might require human-level dexterity.
Yeah, itโ€™s not the most efficient solution to a single problem, but itโ€™s a generalisable solution that can be used for many problems. Both will have places in industry.
Probably not true. Manufacturing for sure, but there is going to be demand for humanoid robots for the simple fact that the ENTIRE built environment is meant for humans. The versatility is probably unmatched. Someone is going to win all the edge case stuff by making humanoid
The future of automated manufacturing will likely be one or both of the following approaches: 1. Newly developed workflows consisting of specialized robotic systems orchestrated together. 2. General purpose humanoid robots leveraging existing factories and human workflows.
humanoids are purpose built not sure how the automatic crop dusters going to cook eggs and do my laundry chief
Isnโ€™t this just critical theory? Like if I think a screwdriver is better in certain applications than a hammer, Iโ€™m part of the problem? Or like if a vacuum is better for picking up a plastic screen than fingers in this case?
If you create a programming language like Python, you write the compiler in C, not Python. Making humanoids requires large scale purpose specific manufacturing. It makes no sense to build them using humanoids.
Nah, humanoids robots would be so inefficient in a production line. For example it donโ€™t need legs if the input is fed to it, it donโ€™t need 2 hands if the input is fixed and locked in position and needs to be polished. Humanoids are not efficient to produce at scale.
"scam"? No. Different tools for different jobs / stages. So, the post is either annoying engagement bait (so ignore the poster) or shows a surprising level of ignorance / blindness (so ignore the company).
Purpose built robots for all domestic activities would be far too cost prohibitive. Unlike AI, generalist robots are the future for domestic applications. Manufacturing, generalized robots are overkill, as the tasks have only tiny amounts of variation and neednโ€™t roam about.
who do you think builds those specialized robots? humans? ๐Ÿคฃ machines scale, appropriate to their function

This is why I laugh when people say humanoid robots will be building themselves. Most manufacturing is automated at this point.
Valid point, but calling humanoids a โ€œscamโ€ misses the mark. Purpose-built robots clearly scale better for mass production, but everyday people donโ€™t need massive scalabilityโ€”they need versatile, affordable humanoids that handle multiple tasks flexibly, at home or work.
this is nonsense, I'm sorry. actual high skilled humans cannot do anything shown in this video replicably at the pace needed for mass manufacture.
The compiler is always a different language until the compiled language is mature. Then the compiler is written in the same language that it is compiling. You have to start somewhere.
The world is built for humans, so a humanoid robot will be able to do everything a human can. Itโ€™s a general solution, not specialized, and will this be much more valuable. Think about this more deeply and you will understand.
Large scale production lines is not the same as solving tasks in the home.
The world is designed to be manually operated by humanoids. Switching in a humanoid robot for a human is infinitely easier, especially in the short run, than re-engineering each individual piece of technology. Take housekeeping for example. It is either going to be done by
There are machines specialized for high volume high precision work. Autonomous robots don't need, won't have the high volume capabilities.
Yea say it louder! All these videos donโ€™t even have these things manipulating stacks or bulk material.
You will need humanoid robots to oversee the factory robots to keep them in line and working efficientlyโ€ฆ
Similar to AI engineering startups hiring hundreds of human engineers while marketing that human engineers are not needed anymore.
Part 1 is a terrible take. Part 2 is spot on. Humanoids arenโ€™t a scam, theyโ€™re a compromise. For scenarios where you havenโ€™t defined the exact workflow necessary to get a job done, and you need something that can sacrifice efficiency and accuracy for general capability,
These humanoid robots move worse than a 90 year old with arthritis. Its like asking your grandma to do the dishes and bring the groceries in from the car.
Yea Iโ€™m not buying the general humanoid robot taking over all the jobs
I get how this intitial thought sparked in your head but you clearly liked the sound of it enough you refused to question it
Some tasks are well suited some arenโ€™t. When youโ€™re replacing humans in an existing process, thatโ€™s completely different than designing a manufacturing process from the ground up. If your new manufacturing process requires humanoids you likely suck at manufacturing
how do you scale purpose built? how do you stay nimble as a manufacturer?
But I just want it to clean my house, clothes, cook, clean the dishes, take out the trash, cut the lawn, fix some bs here and there. Do I need a robot for each of those?
All that talk and it canโ€™t fold clothes, water the plants, get the mail, make dinner, bring in deliveries, etc. what an idiotic statement.
Well I donโ€™t want to call you a retard but The humanoids run machines like this, because making these parts is done with large machines Those machines are called โ€œtoolsโ€ Humanoid robots use tools to make things You gotta either go back to college or get a refund
General purpose robots will have their spot, same as purpose built. Calling one a scam, just makes you look intellectually dishonest.
youre retarded. the world is made for humans. you canโ€™t automate what humans physically do without matching the form factor super-human purpose-built robots will do things humans do not do humanoids will do things humans do or things humans dislike in places designed for humans
The problem with your analysis is that humanoid robots are not intended to do one simple menial task, repeated over and over again, but rather be adaptable to multiple tasks in a world designed for humans.
Absolutely idiotic take. Humans doesnโ€™t work in high throughput automated manufacturing so why should humanoids.
Your statement makes it clear you have very little understanding of manufacturing. Do you even know what is going on in the clip?
