Progress on robots is accelerating quickly. I imagine a year from now these will be much more advanced. These will pay for themselves, never fatigue and don't have to pay for health insurance.

Im skeptical. So many questions. Nothing works without maintenance. Plus the material and the support needed to keep these things operations. Plus from a productivity standpoint it looks very slow in near perfect conditions.
Yes never fatigue but they will need an energy source

Still early. They can charge and get repaired and work in shifts. Humans have to take breaks to eat, pee, go home and sleep, and tend to families etc.

Once they're 10x better and the price of a car, they'll become middle class necessities. Optimistically, we're 5 years away because if they get smarter, the more they can rely on commodity hardware.

Wondering what practical chores these might be good for vs much more specialized robots (vacuums etc)... seems they would be a luxury for the rich.
I suppose they could be most useful in doing chores for the elderly, especially if they end up sturdy enough to help with transferring... 🤔
These seem like could be game changers in Amazon-like factories though.

I think people will prefer a single generic robot if it's good enough at specialized tasks - kind of like we prefer smartphones to having dozens of specialized devices (phone/camera/calculator/computer).
It definitely would. Manufacturing would boom.

I wonder what "not autonomously" means? As in it's a pre-programmed script, remote controlled with a VR headset, or something else?

This would be a far more convincing demo if it started with someone dumping the Tshirt into the basket.
