Just noticed the 2:1 humans:robot ratio in this simple demo here 😅 We still need many many humans-in-the-loop on the path of solving embodied AI #IROS2025

why do all these robot demos look the same. there is no reason for the robot to have that head shape. it could have any head shape or cheat shape. its not like the "brain" is inside the head region. most of it is stuffed inside the chest area.

Humanoid robots looking for a problem to solve.

Dawg this is a job for a delta pick and place robot

Dude. This is just a manufucturing robots but with body and head. Nothing is new here.

An automated machine is 100x faster than this robo in such manual repetitive task.

:) seems a bit distracted,maybe they are not paying the robot a living wage? -- maybe it's solving captachas right now as a side gig in parallel just to pay it's gpu amortization and power bills :)

Human-robot synergy IS the future! UK’s still debating automation while the UAE executes. Demo proves it-we’re not obsolete yet. 😉

Or more robots to correct each other's mistakes.

You missed one you moron!

Why does anyone need a humanoid for this? A simple $1k dollar robot arm can do this much faster and at a fraction of the cost. This is simple OpenCV & CNN; I can knock this out in 4 hours, and have the robot kit assembled in 24 hours, and there you have it.

You can also see how important legs are in this application

the ROBOT should have to pay rent, for a FAIR comparison

That neck yaw is a game changer

We still need a lot of human help. Baby steps, I guess.

Haha true 😅 still a long way before robots can fully go solo, humans are the ultimate training data for now 🤖👥

Fundamental flaw - A nonhumanoid robotic system designed to do part separation will operate at 10000x this speed. Round peg in square hole.
Replying to @micoolcho
Non humanoid robots in production can be really fast. Juste need the merge of both technologies

Using a humanoid robot for this kind of work is a PERVERSION. A simple 1970s machine works perfectly well here.

This appears to be a base model or prototype. It's moving so slowly.
Replying to @micoolcho
That's a pretty interesting observation. Humans are definitely still essential!
