Please.
Okay.
You've heard me rant about the humanoid side of it before, but I have actually a rationale for this.
Robots are really good at repetitive tasks and navigating constant things and not making mistakes when they're doing, like the guy screwing in the thing.
When you have a repetitive task, you don't need a humanoid robot.
A humanoid is designed for very adaptable environments, which are not that repetitive.
And that's completely counter to where you'd use a robot.
Look at the numbers right there on the chart.
Wheeled robot, drones, et cetera, et cetera.
It goes with the form factor.
And you've heard my standard rant.
At least give it another pair of arms.
Every time anybody ever holds up a garbage bag open, you need a third arm.
And why not give it that, for God's sake?
So I think there's a spectrum here of how repetitive and robot-like is the task versus how adaptable and human.
If it's a very adaptable human task and you don't need a robot,
And then if you have a repetitive thing, then make it look like the thing it needs to be, like a wheeled robot or a dishwasher, which is really good at washing dishes at scale.
Yeah, I hear you.
That totally makes sense.
You see why it's been predicted for a long time.
