    No… I’ve never seen those before. That’s not what I’m talking about at all, I also think the Tesla robots piloted by humans are probably going nowhere, for the record

    Want to run failed startups past me some more? I gave you examples of humanoid robots being tested in real world conditions

      Ummm, except you didn’t give me examples. Can you post a link to these robots that are actually being tested in real world conditions?

      Or even a link to the $8k robots that are not the same as the one I found for $6k? I have a hard time believing that another $2k is going to somehow provide the difference between that thing, and something functional.

          Lol! The Agility Robotics model used by Amazon costs $250k per unit. And is currently only capable of moving empty totes around in a controlled environment.

          And the Pudu model you linked, is listed on their website for $214k.

              Were you not able to open the link to their website? You can buy one today for $214k. It’s the D9 model from your article.

                  Buddy, it’s right there on the page I linked. Even your article says they’re hoping to get the price down to under $30k, at some point. That’s why I looked up their website directly, to see how much they’re currently selling them for. It’s $214k. I don’t know what else to tell you.

                    I see one for $43k on there, I don’t see any for $200k on that site

                    But that’s kinda irrelevant, as is how much Amazon’s robots cost. The point is how quickly robotics is advancing

                    There’s so many companies making these that I can’t find the one I saw weeks ago. They’re being tested in real world conditions. There’s a million groups playing with these things, trying to get them to do more and more tasks

                    And think of what full automation would look like… It would be a bunch of factory equipment like it is now. The automatons just need to carry and place stuff between stations, maybe slot things together and screw them in. That’s not that high a bar

                    I just don’t see the line where any of that is impossible. It seems inevitable if society doesn’t collapse this decade
