if we could really automate to this degree, we could automate ALL repetitive tasks, decimate the cost of living, and create millions of new jobs. of course the truth is much scarier: there's not much evidence this kind of shift is actually happening.https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1217853921399431168 …
yes, this robot can make a pizza. but is a robot at this level really less expensive? do ppl really want to bother with technicians and maintenance at a pizza parlor? do ppl really want robot pizza? how many? adoption is more complicated than "technology exists."
show me a self-replicating, self-maintaining fleet of semi-autonomous pizza robots that operate for *less* than minimum wage and i'll agree we're probably looking at a real labor shift... in the utopian world we are necessarily now living in.
Yup. This pizza robot probably works as well as Theranos' Edison. It's a Mechanical Turk where instead of a dude stuffed in a box, it's just clever editing.
about ten years ago i really thought this was going to happen — imminently. turns out it was a much more difficult problem than people realized.
Lights out manufacturing in China.
I’m waiting for the day when we are not hoping tech creates new jobs but eliminates them entirely, and people evolve out of finding meaning in doing something they wouldn’t do for free.
Belly rumbles...
It's a pair of stock UR10s with the stock fingers, open-looping its trajectories unless there's a $10ks of mocap gear just out of frame. Designs like that take lots of human supervision and break down regularly. If that sort of approach worked we'd be up to ears in them already.
In general with robot demo videos like this: * Sensors are much harder & less sexy than actuators. If the video is all "movers" and no "lookers" it's nonsense. * Look for cuts. Unless you see a full activity cycle, every camera cut is a place human intervention was needed.
