Humanoid robots: 'we could be one-to-one with humanoids quickly'
Manage episode 371226656 series 2809813
Optimus, the Tesla bot, has been in development for 2 years and still can’t really do that much. There’s another dream team of engineers and roboticists who are building a humanoid robot that they call the “kinder, gentler” robot.
In this TechFirst we chat with 2 investors in Figure.ai: Jesse Coors and Gregg Hill.
They think humanoid bipedal robots could be one-to-one with humans in numbers "pretty quickly." Corporations will want thousands, and most of us will want at least one.
We also dive deep in the Figure.ai robot as I ask them these questions:
- Capability?
- Timeline to usefulness?
- Battery life?
- Cost?
- Where does a humanoid robot fit in the world?
- What does it do to our economy?
- Where do you see it helping most?
