Cool tech, but what's the intended use case for the end product? Or is there no use case until it's as good as a human?
They're trying to improve them to a point where they can do stuff good. At this point I doubt its much good for anything other than demos and the most basic of tasks
Yeah, but I just don't see a use case for a humanoid robot, a standard robot arm could do the job in the video. Robots are better when designed for specific jobs.
But we don't have the technology yet where a humanoid robot can do humanoid things better than a human.
What you see isn't an end product. It's a research prototype, one of many in a long line of future models that are on the path to making a humanoid robot possible.
