#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

No, but the point is to get there, you need robotics.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

This is my point.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Right, right, right.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

This is the connection.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Right, right.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Because you need robotics to, if you can make a million workers in, you know, 20 days, and then those workers make factories that make more, that's when you truly go crazy exponential.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

So like the only way to get to that is a robotics revolution.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Yeah.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

the point is is that again going back like society is at a pretty fundamental changing point if you can have you know the thinking machines and the doing machines who are going to be more specialized than us humans who have all this like vestigial traits of millions of years of evolution that just aren't necessary for today's world yeah you know walking around with appendixes and

Modern Wisdom

And then robotics builds more robotics.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

I do feel like anthropomorphizing robot.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

I get the argument for making robots that looks like humans because the world is basically built for humans.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

But I think it's like a first cut, like trying to make that where you, I think it makes a lot more sense to make like factory robots, like robots who you could sell to a car manufacturer.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

They can move around their factory.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

That could, in one year, save them the cost of 12 of your fleets of robots you're selling.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Like, I feel like the winner of the robotics revolution will be the one who goes after manufacturing businesses first, not homes, for people who could afford it.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

That's right.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

And it doesn't do it that well.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

Yeah, the addressable market seems very small versus, hey, I'm going to make a robot that can wheel around your factory floor.

Modern Wisdom
#1035 - Mark Rober - How to Engineer a Life You Love

It is, by the way, its torso can stretch eight feet to screw in that thing and then come down.
