The Time Has Come for Robots.
I build AI Agents to replace office workers, but these demos convince me! All physical labor will be gone to robots, too. (even the world's oldest profession).
Just watch it if you disagree. The biggest robot thread ever (50 demos):
1. Neogamma.
General purpose humanoid robot for home.
2. Nvidia Blue.
Runs on Newton, an open-source physics engine developed by NVIDIA and Deepmind.
It's so good that it looks like 3d render, but it's actually real.
3. GR00T N1, the world’s first open foundation model for humanoid robots! It learns from the most diverse physical action dataset ever compiled.
Runs the end-to-end neural net with 2B parameters.
4. Planar Motor - Leviating robots with micro precision.
Super cheap and precise. Can be used in so many business use cases.
5. Amazon Kiva.
The have more than 750,000 of these robots. Just crazy to think how much human labor has been replaced by them and will be replaced further.
6. Humanoid robots are already moving just like humans. Very soon, there won't be any difference. The demo versions prove this. Moving from a demo case to the real world and mass production isn't easy, and it'll take maybe 10 years.
7. Not all robots gonna be super expensive.
This one is open source and costs just $300. It's called Bambot.
8. Even OF model jobs are in danger
9. Once such robots cost less than $10k, it'll be economically viable to use the even to replace low paying jobs
10. General-purpose robots don't need to be programmed for a specific job. They can learn by watching a human doing the job.
11. Not all robots gonna look like humans.
Some will be shaped for a single task, but by doing so, they may replace entire class of human workers.
e.g. construction, moving, manufacturing, lifting.. Once you add AI there, they become so much more useful
12. Robots can be on a factory floor alongside humans, but eventually, human companions will not be needed. Perhaps just one "master human" watching them all to make sure robots don't start to fight for resources :D
13. The robotics field is becoming so popular that people have dropped out of MIT to start robotics startups.
Software will soon be commoditized, and we will enter the age of Hardware and Robots.
14. Robo dogs and drones will be the Army 2.0 in modern warfare.
15. Robots can be built using very durable materials and serve for decades. They can fix themself if needed. Simply walk down to the repair shop and come back as humans visit the hospital.
16. Soon we will see robots serving drinks at the bar
17. Delivery guys will be replaced by this little cute robots
18. Robots building Robots 😱
19. Robots can act together.
20. China is already using robodogs for real
21. Humanoid robots gonna use the snake robots to replace the plumbers
22. Helix from Figure.
Being used for real by their customers
23. Not all robots are smart 🤣
24. Today washing machines and dishwashers took away the boring labor, tomorrow pretty much all the rest of the boring labor will be gone too.
First the upper class will be able to afford it, but eventually everyone, as the price drops. (gemini 2.0)
25. Boston Dynamics is crushing it.
The future of car repair and assembly line.
26. Revise Robotics - automated robots that test, refurbish, and resell used electronics, starting with laptops.
27. Robots can make statues. Better and faster than any humans.
28. Lumos Robotics LUS1 Humanoid Robot
29. This robots moves more like a human than I do
30. Indian robots. Super strong (200kg payload capacity)
31. Chinese robo swarms.
Robo teams.
32. NEO Gamma (Humanoid for Home)
(black mirror episode vibes)
33. Musculoskeletal humanoid called Clone.
The Westword vibes.
34. EngineAI from China.
35. Fourier: GR-2.
(Terminator vibes.)
36. RobotEra: Star1
37. MagicLab
38. Kepler: Forerunner K2
39. Optimus from Tesla
40. Pudu D9
41. Open Source robot from China from Leju Robotics
It includes an SDK for sensors and controls, simulation models, an LLM interface, and some basic demos that work out-of-the-box.
42. Booster Robotics: T1
43. Walker S by UBTECH
44. DR01 from Deep Robotics
45. Tencent Robotics: The Five
46. XPENG: The Iron humanoid
47. Astribot S1
48. Not all the humanoids gonna look like dudes
(even the oldest profession isn't safe)
49. I'm a big fan of robotics, but now, I'm building an AI Agent empire, automating all tasks I can do to reach 99% automation for my org.
Some of my agents:
@seobotai AI Agent for Blog SEO
