0

39.699 - 69.749 Sean Kelly

Are you taking everyone's job? Will robots replace humans in the future, maybe 50 years from now? Okay, guys, got Andrew, CEO of Realbotics here today. And you're doing some really innovative work in the robotics humanoid space, right? Yeah, thank you, Sean. Thanks for coming. I think we came up, who introduced us, actually? Ahmed. Ahmed, yeah. Yeah, I left it to him.

Chapter 4: How are modular designs impacting the portability of humanoid robots?

69.769 - 74.416 Sean Kelly

But I saw you guys before that in the news. Obviously, your CES activation was everywhere on social media.

0

74.576 - 93.634 Unknown

Yeah, that was wild. We had, that was the first time anybody ever saw our robots. And we had no clue what was going to happen. We got there on the first day, quiet for the first hour. the crowd started building. By the end of the first day, the CES organizers came over and they're like, dude, you've got to calm this down.

0

93.935 - 105.132 Unknown

You've got to hire security guards, something you're blocking fire exits, and your neighbors are complaining because people are standing in their booths trying to take pictures of what's happening in your booth. Wow.

0

105.112 - 131.507 Unknown

are nuts yeah four billion media impressions in the month of january holy crap and there was a bunch of influencers we actually have this up as a case study we had some influencers like trying to sneak in and take pictures with the robots they got like 18 million views 20 million views 6 million views different languages all over the world it was bizarre and wild did you expect that no we have no clue were you guys just so much ahead of the competition why do you think it took off like that

0

132.247 - 143.501 Unknown

A couple reasons. So number one, nobody ever put a robot in the wild. And what I mean in the wild, it's like unscripted. It wasn't like a pre-scripted thing, like the robot's going to do this and do that, where we were controlling it.

Chapter 5: What are the hidden dangers associated with AI and robotics?

144.042 - 160.083 Unknown

We had three robots there in the wild that look like humans. Just for your audience to know, our robots look like humans. They talk through AI and anybody can walk up and take a selfie, have a conversation, tell me a joke, whatever you want. And people had never seen that before.

0

Chapter 6: Will robots eventually replace human jobs, and what does the future hold?

160.123 - 170.077 Unknown

And so really, you know, people would come by, spend a couple minutes talking to the robot, come back later with five friends. They would each come back with 10 friends and it just kept growing and growing.

0

Chapter 7: How is the AGI race influencing the future of robotics?

170.818 - 178.369 Unknown

You know, by the end of that week, we were in Barstool Sports. There was Fox News, Forbes, like Cheddar. Everybody was like, how do we get an interview with a robot?

0

178.349 - 184.8 Sean Kelly

Can it perform like a full one-on-one interview right now? Oh, yeah. Wow. And multiple languages too, right?

0

184.82 - 185.901 Unknown

Pretty much any language in the world.

0

186.122 - 186.843 Sean Kelly

Which is insane.

0

Chapter 8: What unique use cases do humanoid robots have in various industries?

186.983 - 202.969 Unknown

Yeah. So, I mean, there's things that make our robots different from what anybody else is doing. I'll give you a couple examples. Our robots, we've integrated in a vision system so they can recognize you They can recognize an object like, hey, you're drinking water, but they also recognize situations.

0

203.51 - 223.061 Unknown

And so if there's a fire, somebody falls, there's theft, they can identify this and let somebody know. Nobody to my knowledge has integrated in like a vision system with facial recognition. So our robots have, you know, expressions along with AI. So that's totally new. We also made our robots AI agnostic.

0

223.542 - 246.719 Unknown

So when we built the robots, our AI, which is more like social companionship based, wasn't quite ready. So I said to the guys, hey, channel chat GPT in there and see what happens. And what we realized is we can put any AI into our robot. So chat GPT, Gemini, Llama, whatever it is, or custom AI. That turned out to be a massive selling feature because a lot of companies say, we don't need your AI.

0

246.899 - 268.772 Unknown

We have our custom AI. Maybe you're like a hotel or a concierge service. Anybody in hospitality says, we want our AI functioning through your robot. And that's why today, you know, I said earlier, we have, I'd say three of the top robots. largest technology companies in the world knocking on our door saying, hey, can we use your robots to market our AI? Wow.

0

269.774 - 275.964 Unknown

They want to take them for their conferences so that you go to the conference, there's five robots, and all they do is speak about that one AI.

276.405 - 276.946 Sean Kelly

Smart.

277.286 - 277.707 Unknown

Yeah.

277.727 - 279.39 Sean Kelly

Yeah, there's a lot of use cases for these, right?

280.451 - 285.319 Unknown

Tons of use cases. I mean, healthcare, entertainment, customer service, companionship.
