This is Figure Robot III announced today. I’m sorry but every other form factor besides humanoids will be crushed 🦾🤖🦾
I keep hearing people starting specialized robotics companies, “like robots for laundry”. And the pitch is: “you don’t need a humanoid form factor to do laundry, it can be much simpler”. That’s true. But, humanoids can do everything and will become the default form factor and so will be mass manufactured and so will be extremely cheap compared to lower volume robots. Its so obvious, it will be humanoids doing laundry, not a specialized laundry robot 🤦♂️
The one main exception to that might be line work in a factory where you do just need the arms and you can mass manufacture them
