When comes to lower part it’s always bipedal (hard to balance) or wheels (low capabilities). Why no one makes 4-6 legs, insect like? That seems like an easier problem to solve while gives much better mobility.

#63I find it very suspicious that the laundry folding segment of the video has awkward cuts of the interesting parts. Makes me question if it is actually capable of doing that

#64The first thing that jumped out at me is its form factor. It is easier to engineer (cheaper) and less threatening than a bipedal robot. The drawback, of course, is that it is less mobile.

#65Are these the same guys that were trashing airbnbs testing the robots?

#67My laundry is upstairs and my washer is downstairs.
Also doesn’t seem to be able to start washer/dryer and transfer loads.

#69So the play here is obvious, use the teleoperation as training data for a more general purpose AI controller. You need that data to make a model in the first place. What doesn't make sense to me is the cost. Yes, $8000 is probably low for this robot but it's a reasonable price range for something like this. The AI credits though? I know vision LLMs are not cheap, they're not going to run something like Llama3.2vision…

#70Seems to suffer from the dalek problem. My laundry is upstairs and my washer is downstairs. Also doesn’t seem to be able to start washer/dryer and transfer loads.
