> also do people really want humanoid robots at home?
Yes, they will be everywhere IMO
The other day I was reflecting on how currently the notion of supervising AI agents sounds like my idea of hell and I'm glad I can mostly do my job without doing it.
But conversely, I'd absolutely love having even 1 humanoid robot which could follow simple verbal directions like "hold this tape measure" or "raise your end a little higher" while working as a collaborative team around the house.
There is an absolute ton of practical jobs where another human form is needed, but one person is pretty obviously leading the activity and just needs "another pair of hands".
A pair of bots which can carry sheet rock over uneven ground around a house? Absolute game changer.
For the right price and capabilities? Sure. I pay various people to do things around the house. Replacing those people with a humanoid robot is probably a big ask. But I'd certainly consider it if possible and cost-effective.
spot as a ground recon unit that works with
drones in the air that create 3d plan of attack
instead of sending elite human and dog operators in first, a squad of 4 atlas, 2 spots, and 4 drones is deployed
the human teams move in second, close behind

that’s a lot of space
