was listening to Kyle Vogt about his new bot company and he described that folding laundry is sort of a frontier problem for robotics and we are still many ways out from there. There's solution from physical intelligence and probably other companies; but they are still fairly complex and not as easily reproducible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXbrt_2Fvgk
Still looking for the LLM moment in robotics
Pro: can fold my laundry.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
* finding good looking people in college
* sending dm's to other people
* carpooling with strangers
* crashing on strangers couches
* getting takeout delivered
* robots/drones that fight each other
* the meta verse
* the equivalent of digital beanie babies
Meanwhile automation to help out with stuff like laundry, dishwashing, cooking home cooked meals, other household chores, helping the elderly, etc. remain untouched.
The other things were easy.
A lot has changed in robotics since then...
