#3What does "a genuine sense of touch" actually mean? Surely there have been robots in the past that can detect how much force they are apply to an object? Was that a "fake sense of touch"?

That's still far slower than a human being, and those bins are far too neat.

"a genuine sense of touch" Means the stock is down $30 YTD and they gotta pump by pretending they've created something.

I don't understand why people still express doubt about this - AI already is and has been taking over jobs.

I'd assume measuring the force exerted at the contact point rather than the motor current.

#9It's interesting how Amazon is embedding robots in human-designed warehouses whereas Ocado has humans overseeing a robotic warehouse.
The later is a much easier problem.

Slower than a human making one operation.
Not slower than human stocking items for a whole day.
