All current metrics are predicting that by 2040/2050... we will have humanoid robots, indistinguishable in every sense from humans. Be it looks or personalities and in many cases, exceed human capabilities. Do you think this is an overall good? Or no?
So, a humanoid robot is going to be at least twice as massive and require at least twice the batteries just to last 90 minutes. Likely more. Batteries are going to make up most of the mass of the robot. The alternative is that the robot is fueled in some way and has an engine like a car. You might be able to get more runtime from the robot, but the dynamics will change as fuel is depleted; this becomes a adaptive issue for its computers. That is, to figure out how to move, it will need to constantly update that based on how much fuel is left. Batteries have constant mass, so you don't need to worry about that.

It's ok, but I think androids (especially female) are a better solution.
We all know the robots are going to be fucked by the people they’re sold to, and in equal amounts those robots will be destroyed because the men who don’t know how to regulate their emotions will stab them and destroy them multiple times before finally throwing them away.
No, that’s just what happens to a lot of the Realdolls sent in for repairs. A lot of them were just straight up stabbed over and over again. Obviously no healthy man uses them to get off
Look on the bright side. It will substantially bring down rape and domestic abuse problems. My theory is that the majority of men will eventually get with bots
Yeah and flying cars have been predicted every year since about 1955. How's that coming along? We are a loooong way from the tech and engineering that would produce a humanoid robot body that could emulate human movement and behavior. It's not happening in the next 15 to 25 years. Unless aliens park in orbit and sell us the blueprints.
We now have robots that can walk on two legs through various terrains and can even backflip and land. If you look at the latest A. I. developments, I really don't think it's that far away. It will be 25 years or even less.
And they have very limited range of motion. Don't look remotely human. Use had plastic and metal bodies. And have very limited operational time. What I'd accept as a humanoid robot would involve synthetic muscle fiber that behaves like organic muscle fiber and a synthetic "skin" that at least looks and feels like human epidermis. And a power source that allows them to operate at moderate output for at least 8 hours. Lots of problems left to solve.
We’re already seeing breakthroughs like MIT’s synthetic muscle fibers made from nylon that contract like real muscle, or Carnegie Mellon’s soft robotics with polymer-based actuators. On the skin front, companies like Hanson Robotics are experimenting with frubber which is a porous, elastic material that mimics human texture. For power, solid-state batteries from quantumscape promise higher energy density, and Toyota’s working on miniaturised hydrogen fuel cells. These could get us to that 8-hour mark within 25 years, especially with AI optimising energy use.
They will come in and replace sales assistants and when we go to a shop we will look for the humanoid to serve us cause they are better and more polite..
LOL brilliant. If they can cook then sign me up with the Chinese, Thai, Italian, Spanish and Indian apps to go with them. Scottish, Irish and Russian accents for the W
@Shiprex they only do cleaning… I’m happy with them.
My ex hubby used to tell me to cook like the restaurants we used to go to… well… he divorced me 😂 because I told him I am not a restaurant owner for a reason… even any good chef can’t cook like that.
Sooooo… we live in an area where we have access to allllll these yummy foods. We are soooo lunch!!
@midnightmoon05 Software to become those chefs that can cook like restaurants would be all it takes. FWIW his loss (your ex) because if you want to eat food like it's cooked in a restaurant, then learn how to cook like that and make it yourself.
It would be very difficult to live near fast food outlets for me so I just make my own stuff in my own way.
@midnightmoon05 Yeah the idea that you can swap and change the model traits would be amazing. Size, shape too with add ons like upgrade to tennis player, acrobat, weightlifter etc. could be amazing just with a few code changes and pumps here and there.
So many of you act like you never saw sci-fi horror movies. This only ends one way... some dude will be get turned into a human pretzel by one of these things with zero warning. Probably will happen to a lot of people at the same time too.
My brother and his wife had a robo vacuum. This really is going to be the future if you can afford it. It's going to happen but it's all going to be about the price. His vacuum comes out twice per day, does its job, and then goes back to its little garage and recharges itself.
Robo vacuum is just the beginning. In the next couple decades, homes will have a bot that can handle the dishes, laundry, cleaning, cooking, security, childcare, butler work, educating, companionship, heavy lifting and even romantic interaction.
What happened to it? Is it still working? Out iRobot has been sitting in the corner 😂… too lazy to clean out the dust tray… We just have our cleaning ladies come do the work… like make the beds, kitchen counters… etc.
