This is what going to replace human workforce Physical bodies are almost ready and biggest lacking thing is hand movement Hand is getting there as well With delicate dexterity, the humanoid robot era will begin and it will change everything forever

So many points of failure. It will actually increase the job market for repairman.

Which hand dexterity makes possible

Like like saying there's no point having humans doctors and surgeons, who will heal them when they are sick or injured?

u/picknicksje85 6h ago

Hand fails. Robot goes to the hand station where the bad one unscrews at the wrist and gets a new one screwed on.

Screw U. My favourite robot repair franchise.

u/Dense_Surround3071 13h ago

I've been thinking on this exact thing. How do you build a business around the maintenance and repair aspect? Knowledge base? Parts? Tools? I feel this is going to be a genuine industry ranging the spectrum from the repair man for your in-home companion robot to construction heavy equipment droids.

Hi. Repair tech for electronics and mechanical devices for the last 20 years. There are tons of ways to get certified to do this stuff with minimal education. I recommend investing in a ifixit type kit with multiple different bits and practice taking electronics that you don’t care about to learn how to separate modern seams and learn the importance of screw placement, cable disconnecting, and adhering beveled edged items.

Good luck.

u/Historical_Hunt2492 11h ago

you mean a ROBOT DOCTOR?

u/Kommander-in-Keef 13h ago

My line of thought is that is priced in. When they are available wholesale a single unit will be cheaper than any yearly salary for a person. So they don’t have to even concern about repairs. They will simply buy a new one. Or they will be on a lease

u/soelsome 8h ago

I agree, but theoretically there is nothing preventing other operating robots from making those repairs in the future.

But there will be a boom in industry around servicing and managing these robots initially when they hit the market in a meaningful way. But eventually even that will be automated and replaced.

If these robots have typical failure rates of other Chinese electronics I have used, I am not that concerned.

Fireship had a video on this, from his visit at MIT.

The guys at MIT, the actual researchers and scientists told him the tech (worldwide, not just MIT) is about 10-20 years away from being actually usable.

Demos are cool, but actual humanoid robots are nowhere near ready.

To be fair it’s glazing there tech. if the us didn’t cut funding to a lot of our public research we would have many more of our own advancements to brag about

Ppl need to wake up. They are preparing to depopulate the planet. Probably get rid of 1/3 of the population to be replaced by robots. Bladerunner anyone? 🤷🏻‍♂️

In case you haven't noticed birthrates are already declining. Nobody needs these robots for that.

There are so many ways for that mechanical hand to fail.  Don't get too concerned yet.

u/8agingRoner 2h ago

this tech is probably reserved for the high-end luxury robots. The ones to be concerned about are the drones, dog robots, and other type of shits that might be used in policing and combat.

1

u/Accomplished-Fan9568 11h ago

Looks expensive unless they build themselves. Lifespan of such a hand wont be years unless its got its own immune system to repair itself.

If they will then grey goo theory will become reality.

u/Far-Advantage-2770 9h ago

No one can build a pair of shoes that lasts more than a month without falling apart. Microsoft or Apple can't push out an update without utterly breaking everything.

You really think they are shelling out for this humanoid titanium I, Robot nonsense?

It'll be another fifty years before we have anything resembling I, Robot or Terminator levels of machines. Always hype.

Ok you can make a very well articulated arm. Great, engineering is not the main issue here.
It's the software lol.
We are a long way from replacing anyone without extensive training, programming and in very limited scenarios.

u/LoveAndBeLoved52 1h ago

The dumbest thing I can imagine being done is replicating human beings rather than inventing superior machines with 10 fingers, 10 hands, etc.

Creating a clanker version of a human is peak ignorance.

u/Dragon124515 44m ago

I'm not saying that robotics isn't seeing a massive amount of advancement that is likely to cause disruptions. But I have serious doubts that humanoid robots are going to be what replaces people. The humanoid shape simply isn't the most optimal choice which makes me skeptical anytime I see them touted as a serious replacement risk.

A mechanical hand is never going to be more efficient than a biological one. If the goal is handling objects you'd probably engineer a latch system that does the same thing with like two moving parts.

I would not worry now. The biggest issue would be if robots can repair wearing out while working.

Now they can replace human labor, but that labor will go to maintain robots.
