"neo will not be allowed to pick up something that is very sharp"
-
not very useful for cleaning up my kitchen
-
how does it know what is sharp and what isn't? lots of things can be accidentally or unexpectedly sharp
Useless safety theater. The actuation force this thing must have if it can ambulate and manipulate things? A knife is the least of my worries. What if it grabs me and breaks my arm or kicks me and shatters my shin? This thing would be far more efficient than a human at beating you to death.
The grip strength alone!
It couldn’t crack a walnut in the video
While dangerous, yes, a maid can do the same thing
I’m not saying Neo is a good idea, there are just better points to make
Because it can’t technically or because it is artificially limited by software and/or hardware that can fail?
The fact that it can stand itself up means the actuation strength for the legs/thighs/etc has to be somewhat significant, unless they’ve managed to make this thing 10lbs
This iteration, wait until people start wanting it to chop wood or do any kind of farm work.
I'm skeptical of it eventually being automated in a useful way, and if it's not, then this is just an expensive roundabout way to hire a personal assistant/caregiver.
I’m not opposed to the technology per se, but I agree, it doesn’t seem practical in any way right now.
Unless people can have sex with it.
How long before people try to get intimate with the operators of these things?
Literally just slavery with extra steps.
The rich want slaves but they don't want to see or interact with them. Creepy CEO even made a point to show off how weak robot 1-X is, so the slaves better not get any ideas, either.
The word robot literally cubes from the Czech meaning "forced labor", so this tracks.
