AUTOMATION HISTORY

Tesla приостановила массовый выпуск ÑÐ²Ð¾Ð¸Ñ Ð³ÑƒÐ¼Ð°Ð½Ð¾Ð¸Ð´Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ð² Optimus из-за Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸Ñ ÑÐ»Ð¾Ð¶Ð½Ð¾ÑÑ‚ÐµÐ¹ с конструкцией рук, сообщили инсайдеры и СМИ, включая The Information и TechSpot. Инженеры компании столкнулись с трудностями в обеспечении Ð½ÐµÐ¾Ð±Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð¼Ð¾Ð¹ гибкости и Ð¿Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶ÐµÑÑ‚Ð¸ рук робота на человеческие. Особенно проблемными оказались модули кистей и предплечий, из-за чего Tesla уже накопила на ÑÐºÐ»Ð°Ð´Ð°Ñ Ð½ÐµÑÐºÐ¾Ð»ÑŒÐºÐ¾ десятков ÑÐ¾Ð±Ñ€Ð°Ð½Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ñ‚ÐµÐ» роботов без рук. На данный момент неизвестно, когда эта проблема будет полностью решена. Первый этап производства столкнулся с задержками ещё летом 2024 года, после чего планы по выпуску были существенно пересмотрены. Изначально компания планировала выпустить не менее 5000 моделей Optimus к концу 2025 года, однако эта цель выглядела слишком амбициозной. Позже план сократили до 2000 единиц, но и эта цифра теперь под вопросом. Илон Маск подтвердил существование трудностей с дизайном рук, отметив, что создание Ð¿Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶Ð¸Ñ Ð½Ð° человеческие кистей — самая сложная часть проекта. Несмотря на это, он ÑÐ¾Ñ Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÐµÑ‚ оптимизм и опубликовал видео с роботом, осваивающим боевые искусства и выполняющим движения вместе с актёром Джаредом Лето. Робот Optimus был впервые представлен в 2021 году как универсальный гуманоид, способный выполнять опасные и утомительные для человека задачи, включая сортировку аккумуляторов и инспекции на Ð·Ð°Ð²Ð¾Ð´Ð°Ñ Tesla. В июле 2025 года производство уже прерывалось после ÑƒÑ Ð¾Ð´Ð° Милана Коваца, бывшего старшего вице-президента по Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¸ÐºÐµ в Tesla, что повлияло на организацию разработки. Сейчас компания работает над улучшением конструкции, в том числе над увеличением срока службы Ð¼ÐµÑ Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ð·Ð¼Ð¾Ð² и повышением энергоэффективности. Планируется, что обновлённые версии рук и предплечий обеспечат Ð½ÐµÐ¾Ð±Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð¼Ñ‹Ðµ Ñ Ð°Ñ€Ð°ÐºÑ‚ÐµÑ€Ð¸ÑÑ‚Ð¸ÐºÐ¸ для Ð¿ÐµÑ€ÐµÑ Ð¾Ð´Ð° к масштабному производству. © iXBT

Илон Маск опубликовал на своей странице в соцсети X (ранее Twitter) видео с тренировок робота Tesla Optimus по боевым приемам в спарринге с человеком. На видео робот реагирует на действия партнера, выполняя блоки и удары в скоординированной, «танцевальной» манере. Маск подтвердил, что робот действует автономно с помощью встроенного ИИ и без дистанционного управления человеком. Маск сопроводил ролик подписью «Tesla Optimus учится кунг-фу», в котором заметно улучшение скорости и плавности движений робота. Вице-президент Tesla по программному обеспечению ИИ Ашок Эллусвами в комментариях к публикации добавил, что компания планирует создать единую ИИ-систему, которая будет использоваться как в роботах Optimus, так и в беспилотных автомобилях Tesla. Tesla Optimus — это робот-гуманоид, созданный компанией Tesla. Он был впервые представлен на мероприятии AI Day 19 августа 2021 года. Рабочие прототипы робота показали 30 сентября 2022 года. Ожидается, что в продажу робот поступит уже в 2026 году.

На ежегодном собрании акционеров Tesla 2025 года в четверг была представлена уточняющая информация о гуманоидном роботе Optimus. Видеоролик, показанный во время мероприятия, впервые наглядно показал сотрудников Tesla на «производственной линии прототипов», работающих над различными компонентами и собирающих роботов. Пилотная производственная линия Optimus в настоящее время работает на нашем заводе во Фримонте. Значительно более крупная производственная линия Gen 3 появится в 2026 году. Мы также проводим испытания на наших заводах и в офисных помещениях для использования в режиме реального времени. Наша цель — себестоимость продукции в размере 20 тыс. долларов США на робота при масштабировании. Tesla Tesla Однако руководитель проекта по искусственному интеллекту Джулиан Ибарц добавил: «Просто для ясности: это наш прототип производственной линии, который мы используем сегодня для текущих исследований и разработок. Настоящая масштабируемая производственная линия, которая заработает в следующем году, будет не просто больше, она будет совершенно другой». Илон Маск назвал то, что он считает тремя главными трудностями проекта: проектирование кисти и предплечья, разработка «реального искусственного интеллекта» и масштабное производство. Ранее он называл кисть «самой большой электромеханической проблемой» и отмечал, что «огромная» сложность производства обусловлена «отсутствующей» цепочкой поставок. Илон Маск заявил, что Optimus — это единственный способ избавиться от нищеты и предоставить всем качественную медицинскую помощь.

Новое видео, появившееся на демонстрации Tesla в Майами в минувшие Ð²Ñ‹Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð½Ñ‹Ðµ, показывает, как человекоподобный робот Optimus неприятно упал. Но не само падение вызывает удивление, а специфические движения рук робота по пути вниз, которые убедительно предполагают, что он имитировал действия оператора, Ð»Ð¸Ñ Ð¾Ñ€Ð°Ð´Ð¾Ñ‡Ð½Ð¾ снимающего VR-шлем. Человекоподобные роботы сейчас на пике популярности. Вливаются миллиарды инвестиций, а Илон Маск утверждает, что это будет триллионный продукт для Tesla, оправдывающий ее сумасшедшую оценку. Идея заключалась в том, что с появлением искусственного интеллекта роботы в человеческой форме смогут использовать новый обобщенный искусственный интеллект для замены людей во все большем количестве задач. Однако по-прежнему существует множество ÑÐµÑ€ÑŒÐµÐ·Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ð¿Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð»ÐµÐ¼, как ÑÑ‚Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸Ñ , так и Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸Ñ . Ð¢ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸Ñ‡ÐµÑÐºÐ¸, большинство демонстраций Ñ‡ÐµÐ»Ð¾Ð²ÐµÐºÐ¾Ð¿Ð¾Ð´Ð¾Ð±Ð½Ñ‹Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ð² полагались на удаленное управление операторами-людьми — что указывает на ÑÐ¾Ñ Ñ€Ð°Ð½ÑÑŽÑ‰Ð¸Ð¹ÑÑ разрыв между программным и аппаратным обеспечением. Мы обсуждали, как роботы на мероприятии «Мы, роботы» были под сильным телеуправлением, несмотря на то, что Tesla явно не раскрывала этот факт публике. Это было более года назад, и, несмотря на заявления Tesla о Â«Ð´ÐµÐ¼Ð¾Ð½ÑÑ‚Ñ€Ð°Ñ†Ð¸ÑÑ Ð˜Ð˜Â» Optimus с Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð¿Ð¾Ñ€, Ð¿Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶Ðµ, компания по-прежнему полагается на телеоперацию для управления ими во время демонстраций. В минувшие Ð²Ñ‹Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð½Ñ‹Ðµ Tesla провела мероприятие под названием «Autonomy Visualized» в своем магазине в Майами. Целью было продемонстрировать Â«Ñ‚ÐµÑ Ð½Ð¾Ð»Ð¾Ð³Ð¸ÑŽ Autopilot и Optimus» от Tesla. Однако на мероприятии Tesla по «автономности» не было ничего «автономного». Многие поклонники Tesla видели, как они публиковали видео, на ÐºÐ¾Ñ‚Ð¾Ñ€Ñ‹Ñ Ñ€Ð¾Ð±Ð¾Ñ‚ Tesla Optimus раздает бутылки с водой на мероприятии. Он также позировал для фотографий и танцевал. На Reddit кто-то опубликовал другое видео с демонстрации: Как вы можете видеть, Tesla Optimus слишком быстро двигал руками, из-за чего несколько бутылок с водой упали на землю. Затем он теряет равновесие и начинает падать назад. Но самое интересное то, что непосредственно перед падением назад обе его руки мгновенно взлетают к «лицу» с отчетливым Ñ Ð²Ð°Ñ‚Ð°Ñ‚ÐµÐ»ÑŒÐ½Ñ‹Ð¼ движением, как будто снимая объект с головы. Робот, конечно, ничего на голове не носит. Это движение мгновенно узнаваемо любому, кто использовал VR или видел установки телеоперации. ÐŸÐ¾Ñ Ð¾Ð¶Ðµ, что оператор-человек, вероятно, Ð½Ð°Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð²ÑˆÐ¸Ð¹ÑÑ за кулисами или в удаленном помещении, снял свой шлем в середине управления роботом по неизвестным причинам. Optimus точно воспроизвел движение снятия несуществующего шлема, когда он Ñ€ÑƒÑ Ð½ÑƒÐ» на пол. Вот как Tesla обучала Optimus с помощью VR-шлемов в своей лаборатории: Это неловко, но не только потому, что робот упал. Роботы падают; это часть процесса НИОКР. Видео с неудачами Boston Dynamics легендарны, и они никогда не подрывали доверие к компании. Проблема здесь в моменте «Волшебника страны Оз». Специфическое движение снятия «фантомного шлема» разрушает иллюзию автономии, которую Tesla так старается поддерживать. Даже недавно Маск отвергал мнение о том, что Tesla полагается на телеоперацию для демонстраций Optimus. Он уточнил, что новая демонстрация Optimus, выполняющего кунг-фу, была «ИИ, а не телеуправляемой»: Маск снова сказал на последнем отчете Tesla о Ð¿Ñ€Ð¸Ð±Ñ‹Ð»ÑÑ Ð² октябре: «Optimus был на премьере «Трона», делая кунг-фу, просто на виду, с Джаредом Лето. Никто им не управлял. Он просто делал кунг-фу с Джаредом Лето на премьере «Трона». Вы можете увидеть видео онлайн. Смешно то, что многие люди Ð¿Ñ€Ð¾Ñ Ð¾Ð´Ð¸Ð»Ð¸ мимо, думая, что это просто человек». Маск продолжает говорить акционерам, что Optimus будет самым большим продуктом в истории, и что миллионы единиц скоро будут работать на Ð·Ð°Ð²Ð¾Ð´Ð°Ñ . Но если сейчас они по-прежнему полагаются на телеоперацию 1:1 для раздачи бутылок с водой, то кажется, что до полезного обобщенного робота Optimus нам еще далеко. © Electrek.ru

Компания Tesla показала человекоподобного робота Optimus 2, который стал развитием представленного весной 2023 году андроида Optimus Gen 1. Как заявляет американская технологическая компания, помимо переработанного дизайна робот получил ряд технических новинок. Optimus Gen 2 оснащен приводами и датчиками, разработанными Tesla. Шея с шарнирно-сочлененным механизмом получила 2 степени свободы, руки имеют уже 11 степеней свободы. Руки отличаются большей точностью и аккуратностью в работе, что позволяет им управляться с хрупкими предметами вроде куриных яиц — благодаря встроенным в пальцы тактильным датчикам. Заявлено, что обновленный андроид стал на 10 кг легче, скорость его передвижения выросла на 30%, а имитация работы пальцев ног улучшила баланс робота и дала ему возможность выполнять сложные движения вроде приседаний и танцев. О сроках появления серийного Tesla Optimus компания не сообщает.

Tesla’nın insansı robot projesi Optimus, önemli yapısal ve operasyonel sorunlar nedeniyle beklenmedik bir duraklamaya girdi. Şirketin daha önce bu yıl içerisinde 5.000 ila 10.000 adet robot üretmeyi planladığı proje, yeni bir tasarım aşamasına geçilmesi ve sahada istenen performansın yakalanamaması nedeniyle en az iki ay gecikmeye uğrayacak. Optimus programındaki bu gecikme, programdan sorumlu kıdemli başkan yardımcısı Milan Kovac’ın şirketten ayrılmasından kısa bir süre sonra ortaya çıktı. Kovac’ın görevini, aynı zamanda Tesla’nın otonom sürüş projelerinden sorumlu olan Ashok Elluswamy devraldı. Üretimin ertelenmesinin arkasında sadece yönetim değişikliği değil, aynı zamanda robotun donanımsal açıdan yaşadığı problemler de bulunuyor. Eklem motorlarında aşırı ısınma, ellerde düşük taşıma kapasitesi, şanzıman parçalarının kısa ömrü ve sınırlı pil performansı gibi sorunların üretim planlarını doğrudan etkilediği bildiriliyor. Tesla, şu anda bu sorunları çözmek için çeşitli robot eli tasarımlarını test ediyor ve üç farklı teknik yaklaşımı değerlendiriyor. Şirketin robotun yazılım tarafında da sentetik veri kullanımıyla daha karmaşık görevlerde başarı oranını artırmaya çalıştığı ifade ediliyor. Yılın başında 1.000’den fazla Optimus robotu için parça temin eden şirket, bu sayıda üretimi gerçekleştirmiş olsa da, üretilen robotların şu anda yalnızca Tesla’nın batarya atölyelerinde sınırlı görevlerde kullanıldığı belirtiliyor. Bu robotların verimliliği ise insan işçilerin yarısının dahi gerisinde kalıyor. Tedarik zincirine yakın kaynaklar, Tesla’nın siparişleri resmen iptal etmediğini ancak tasarım değişiklikleri tamamlanmadan yeni üretim için parça siparişi geçmeyeceğini aktarıyor. Bu durum, şirketin yıl boyunca Optimus üretimiyle ilgili verdiği hedefleri revize etmesine neden olabilir. Öte yandan Tesla’nın Optimus programından vazgeçmesi beklenmiyor. Şirketin bu yılki hissedarlar toplantısında yeni nesil robotları sahneye çıkarabileceği ifade ediliyor. Peki siz bu konu hakkında ne düşünüyorsunuz?

Корпорация Tesla остановила производство роботов Optimus из-за проблем. Как передает Day.Az, об этом сообщает издание The Information. В марте глава компании Илон Маск заявлял, что сможет выпустить 5000 единиц роботов к концу 2025 года. Источники рассказали, что Tesla не сможет достичь амбициозной цели и пересмотрела свои планы. Более того - вероятно, в этом году фирма больше не выпустит ни одного робота. Проблема заключается в манипуляторах, которых не хватает для выпуска машин. Специалисты объяснили, что роботизированные руки - самая технически сложная деталь гуманоидов Tesla. Существуют проблемы с предплечьями, которые не устраивают инженеров. Также разработка Optimus приостановилась из-за того, что создатель робота Милан Ковач в июне покинул корпорацию Маска. Источники The Information рассказали, что сотрудники Tesla в частных беседах начинают сомневаться, нужен ли компании человекоподобный робот, так как технические сложности и трудозатраты при его разработке огромны. Однако часть произведенных машин уже используют на заводах - так, гуманоиды сортируют аккумуляторы для электромобилей. Заметили ошибку в тексте?

Published on By Elon Musk has announced that the Tesla Model Y has become the world’s best-selling car by volume for the third consecutive year, capping 2025 with another dominant performance. The Model Y has now established an impressive streak that would otherwise have been impossible before Tesla. Three years in a row Musk posted on X: “Tesla Model Y is now officially the world’s best-selling car for the third year in a row!” The CEO’s comment echoed an update that Tesla included in its 2025 recap, which highlighted, among other things, the Model Y’s incredible streak. The Model Y has held the title since 2023, outperforming traditional leaders like the Toyota RAV4 and Corolla thanks to its bang-for-the-buck nature and its stellar combination of practicality, performance, and tech. The Model Y is also lauded as one of the safest vehicles on the road, making it an ideal choice for families in key markets such as China.

Musk has also noted that the Cybercab will be Tesla’s highest-volume vehicle yet, with the company aiming for an annual production rate of about 2 million units. “If you’ve seen the design of the Cybercab line, it doesn’t look like a normal car manufacturing line,” Musk said earlier this year. “It looks like a really high-speed consumer electronics line. In fact, the line will move so fast that actually people can’t even get close to it.” The Megablock was also unveiled during the year, and the Supercharger Network grew by 18%. Over 1 million Powerwalls were also installed during the year, and the Cybertruck became the first EV truck to get both an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award and an NHTSA 5-Star safety rating.

Tesla has one of the most extensive real-world AI neural networks in the world, used to control its self-driving autonomous vehicles. Elon Musk has stated in the past that this neural engine can be used to operate humanoid robots and fulfil the day-to-day tasks that humans don't want to engage in, a project which Tesla calls Optimus. At the 2022 Tesla AI day, Musk unveiled the robot and although the movements are clunky, awkward and slow, the engineering is not the focal point of the presentation. It was intended to show the AI capabilities of the bot and give an idea of what could be achieved in the future. In the past, Musk has voiced his hesitation regarding AI and its inherent dangers, yet in this case he seems to be the one pushing for the technology. More in this article from Bloomberg. – Ross Sinclair By Dana Hull and Sean O'Kane (Bloomberg) –Elon Musk showed off a prototype humanoid robot walking and waving its hand, seeking to demonstrate Tesla Inc.'s advances in artificial intelligence. At the electric automaker's AI Day late Friday, Musk also showed a video of the robot picking up boxes and moving through a rendered office building to water plants. "The robot can actually do a lot more than we just showed you," said Musk. "We just didn't want it to fall on its face." A second robot — the latest iteration of what Tesla calls Optimus — also appeared on stage. Musk said that while Optimus wasn't quite ready to walk, it has opposable thumbs and can perform tasks. "Our goal is to make a useful humanoid robot as quickly as possible," said Musk. "Optimus is designed to be an extremely capable robot made in very high volume, probably ultimately millions of units, and is expected to cost much less than a car." The event, held at a Tesla facility in Palo Alto, California, featured several engineers giving highly technical presentations about how the robot perceives its environment. The technology that Tesla has developed for its vehicles, including cameras, is now being used for the robot. Musk, who was tweeting during his employees' presentations, said near the end of the three-hour event that he was "excited to see what Optimus will become." Musk added Tesla plans to test the robot at its factory in Fremont, California, where the videos of it operating were filmed. But he admitted the robot is "not strictly speaking in line with" Tesla's goal of accelerating the adoption of sustainable energy. "I'm not sure where it ends up," he said. Musk also said Tesla is "probably not barking up the right tree on on all the technical solutions," and reminded the audience the company is "open to evolving" those solutions it has already arrived at. Beyond the robot, Tesla used the event to expand on the progress it has made developing its automated driving software, and the "Dojo" supercomputer that the company uses to train its in-house artificial intelligence. Musk said Tesla may some day allow other companies to pay to use Dojo to train their own neural networks.

Компания Tesla продемонстрировала свои индивидуально разработанные человекоподобные роботы Optimus на премьере нового фильма «Трон: Арес» от The Walt Disney. На красной дорожке в честь премьеры появился Джаред Лето, исполняющий одну из главных ролей в фильме. В опубликованном видео актёр стоит рядом с роботом Optimus от Tesla, который показывает приёмы боевых искусств. Ранее Илон Маск поделился на своей странице в Twitter видеороликом, где демонстрируется процесс обучения робота Tesla Optimus кунг-фу, хотя в тот момент он был подключён к кабелю.

Die Pläne Teslas, noch 2025 Tausende humanoide Optimus Roboter herzustellen, sind geplatzt. Probleme mit den Händen machen Designverbesserungen nötig. (Bild: Tesla/Screenshot) This article is also available in English. It was translated with technical assistance and editorially reviewed before publication. Don’t show this again. Tesla weicht von seinem Ziel ab, noch 2025 mindestens 5000 humanoide Optimus Bot herzustellen. Das berichtete das US-Tech-Magazin The Information am Dienstag. Designänderungen und technische Probleme machen dem ambitionierten Ziel offenbar einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Ursprünglich sollten 2025 mindestens 5000 Optimus Roboter von Tesla produziert werden. Noch im März sagte Tesla-Chef Elon Musk auf einer Mitarbeiterversammlung, diese Anzahl humanoider Roboter bauen zu wollen. Doch diese Steigerung von einigen wenigen Dutzend Optimus Bot im Jahr 2024 auf mindestens 5000 im laufenden Jahr sei zu ambitioniert, sodass das Unternehmen das Produktionsziel derzeit auf 2000 gesenkt habe, berichtet The Information. Allerdings scheint auch dieses Ziel mittlerweile gefährdet zu sein. Die Hände des Roboters, der technisch anspruchsvollste Teil der Konstruktion, verursachten Probleme und führten zu Verzögerungen. Designänderungen, besonders an den Händen, aber auch an den Unterarmen, sollten die Konstruktion der dritten Version des Optimus Bot verbessern. Aktuell ist die Version 2.5. Tausende Roboter können so in diesem Jahr nicht mehr produziert werden. Derzeit werden die Hände überarbeitet und weitere Designverbesserungen, etwa an den Unterarmen, vorgenommen, berichtet The Information. Unklar ist, wie dort der aktuelle Stand ist. Die Verzögerungen ergeben sich jedoch nicht nur aus der anspruchsvollen Konstruktion der Hände. Auch der Abgang von Milan Kovac, ehemals Leiter der Technikabteilung für Roboter bei Tesla, im Juni habe eine Lücke hinterlassen. Das Hardware-Design liegt seitdem in den Händen von Konstantin Laskaris, für die Software ist Ashok Elluswamy verantwortlich. Videos by heise Hinter vorgehaltener Hand stellen Tesla-Mitarbeiter laut The Information mittlerweile die Frage, ob es überhaupt sinnvoll ist, komplexe humanoide Roboter zu bauen, um sie in der Fertigung einzusetzen. Die technischen Hürden und der Aufwand dafür seien hoch. So ist etwa das Training der Roboter aufwendig. Dazu müssen oft erst spezielle Videos für das Training von Fertigkeiten erstellt werden. Tesla nutzt derzeit seine eigenen Mitarbeiter dafür. Perspektivisch hofft Tesla, frei verfügbare Videos im Internet nutzen zu können, um seinem humanoiden Roboter alle nur erdenklichen Aufgaben antrainieren zu können. Momentan sind die Aufgaben der Optimus Bots noch eher einfacher Natur: Bei Tesla sortieren sie etwa Batterien. Außerdem führen sie Kontrollgänge in den Fabriken durch. (olb) Keine News verpassen!

Die Zukunft von Tesla liege in Robotern und Robotaxis, verkündet Elon Musk. In Berlin zeigte Tesla einen Optimus-Roboter in Aktion - auch wenn es länger dauern dürfte, bis er im Alltag auftaucht. Tesla hat seinen humanoiden Roboter mit dem Namen Optimus dem Publikum in Berlin vorgeführt. Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt im Einkaufscenter LP12 gab die Maschine Popcorn aus. Der Roboter griff kleine Popcorn-Boxen, füllte sie auf und überreichte sie den Besuchern. Am Stand bildete sich eine lange Schlange. Wie bei anderen ähnlichen Demonstrationen von Tesla blieb unklar, inwieweit Optimus dabei autonom agierte oder zumindest teilweise ferngesteuert wurde. Zukunft in Robotern Während die Verkäufe von Teslas Elektroautos in diesem Jahr erneut sinken dürften, verkündet Konzernchef Elon Musk, dass die Zukunft der Firma in selbstfahrenden Robotaxis und menschenähnlichen Robotern liegen werde. So beharrt Musk darauf, dass die Optimus-Roboter des Konzerns das Potenzial hätten, zum "größten Produkt aller Zeiten" zu werden. Die für kommendes Jahr in Aussicht gestellte Version 3 werde sich so flüssig bewegen, dass sie «wie ein Mensch in einem Roboter-Kostüm» wirken werde, sagte er etwa im Oktober. Optimus als Chirurg? Musk sagt auch voraus, dass es auf der Welt mehr Roboter als Menschen geben werde. Selbstfahrende Autos und Roboter würden eine "Welt ohne Armut" herbeiführen, in der jeder Zugang zu bester medizinischer Versorgung habe. Denn: "Optimus wird ein unglaublicher Chirurg sein", verkündete Musk. Er hoffe, die Produktion der Roboter bis Ende kommenden Jahres zu starten. Berichten zufolge werden die Roboter bei solchen Demonstrationen teilweise ferngesteuert. So sorgte jüngst im Netz ein Video für Aufsehen, in dem ein Optimus-Roboter bei einem Event in Miami wie ein Brett nach hinten umkippt. Vor dem Fall hebt er aber beide Arme zu Kopf und seine Bewegung legt nahe, dass ein Mensch, der ihn aus der Ferne steuerte, eine 3D-Brille abnahm. Tesla äußerte sich nicht dazu. Umkämpfte Zukunftsmärkte Sowohl bei selbstfahrenden Taxis als auch bei Robotern trifft Tesla auf viel Konkurrenz. So forschen viele chinesische Unternehmen an Robotern und US-Firmen wie Agility Robotics und Figure AI arbeiten daran, die Maschinen in der Industrie einzusetzen. So erfüllten Roboter von Figure AI testweise ein halbes Jahr Aufgaben im US-Werk von BMW in Spartanburg. Beim autonomen Fahren ist unterdessen die Google-Schwesterfirma Waymo führend. Sie hat in verschiedenen US-Städten mehr als 2.500 fahrerlose Fahrzeuge im Einsatz, während Tesla bisher auf einige Dutzend Wagen in der texanischen Stadt Austin mit einem Aufpasser im Beifahrersitz kommt.

Компания Tesla временно приостановила массовое производство гуманоидных роботов Optimus из-за сложностей с конструкцией рук. Об этом сообщает The Information. Отмечается, что инженеры не могут достичь необходимой гибкости и сходства с человеческими руками, что заставило компанию скорректировать планы. На складах Tesla уже накоплено десятки корпусов Optimus без рук и предплечий, и пока неизвестно, когда эти роботы будут завершены. Илон Маск подтвердил проблему, но не сообщил конкретных сроков запуска. Как известно, первые трудности были выявлены еще летом 2024 года, после чего компания значительно снизила первоначальные производственные цели. Изначально Tesla планировала выпустить не менее 5000 роботов до конца 2025 года, но инженеры заявили, что задача нереальна. После внутреннего сопротивления план сократили до 2000 единиц. Маск подчеркивает, что создание рук с человеческой ловкостью - самая сложная часть разработки. Недавно он поделился видео, где Optimus обучается кунг-фу, а официальный аккаунт Tesla показал, как робот повторяет движения вместе с актером Джаредом Лето на премьере фильма Tron: Ares. Tried to start a fight at the Tron: Ares premiere pic.twitter.com/TvWCOaXIlN Optimus был представлен в августе 2021 года как универсальный двуногий робот, способный выполнять задачи, опасные или утомительные для людей. Однако некоторые бывшие участники проекта сомневаются в его пригодности для использования на складах или в производстве. Тем не менее, Илон Маск считает Optimus ключевым проектом Tesla на будущее. Напомним, Tesla представила своего робота-гуманоида второго поколения Optimus Gen 2, который должен выполнять некоторые задачи, которые обычно выполняют люди. Как сообщалось, в 2026 году Tesla надеется запустить роботов Optimus в крупное производство для других компаний.

Çinli kaynaklara göre Tesla yaklaşık bir buçuk ay önce Optimus için parça alımını durdurdu. Şirket, hem robotun donanımını hem de yazılımını yeniden gözden geçiriyor. Bu sebeple üretim de durdurulmuş durumda. Tesla, bu yıl 5.000 adet Optimus üretmeyi hedefliyordu ama şimdiye kadar yalnızca 1.000 civarında üretim yapılabildi. Parça tedarikinin durmasıyla bu hedefin artık pek mümkün görünmediği ifade ediliyor. Haziran başında Optimus projesinin başındaki Milan Kovac, Tesla’dan ayrılmıştı. Onun yerine Tesla’nın yapay zekâ yazılımı başkanı Ashok Elluswamy geldi. Bu değişimle birlikte seri üretime geçmeden önce robotun tasarımı daha da geliştirilecek ve üretim peşi sıra başlatılacak. Optimus’un bazı teknik sorunları da var. Şu anda motorlar fazla ısınıyor, elleri yeterince güçlü değil, bazı parçalar çabuk bozuluyor ve pil ömrü kısa. Tesla bu sebeple şu an farklı tedarikçilerden gelen örnekleri test ediyor. Geçen yıl tanıtılan robotlar şov yapmış olsa da hareketlerin çoğu uzaktan kontrolle gerçekleşmişti. Şu anda Optimus sadece Tesla’nın batarya atölyelerinde basit taşıma işleri yapıyor ve performansı henüz insan işçilerin yakınına bile yaklaşamıyor. Elon Musk’ın iddialı planı ise hâlâ geçerli. Önümüzdeki yıl 50 bin, 2029’da ise 500 bin Optimus üretmeyi hedefliyor. Bu hedef şu anki durumla kıyaslanınca gülünç gelebilir ama Elon Musk'ın daha önce açıklandığı 1 milyonluk üretim planının aşağı çekilmiş hâli olduğunu da belirtelim. Tüm bu gelişmelerin ardından Tesla’nın bu yılki hissedarlar toplantısında Optimus’un yeni versiyonunu tanıtarak hem yatırımcıları hem de ortaklarını rahatlatmayı hedeflediği söyleniyor ama işleri toparlamak pek kolay olmayacak.

Whispers of Control: The Alarming Vulnerability of Humanoid Robots to Voice Hijacking In the rapidly advancing field of robotics, where humanoid machines are increasingly integrated into daily life, a startling demonstration has exposed a critical security flaw. Researchers from the cybersecurity group DARKNAVY, based in China, recently showcased how certain humanoid robots can be compromised using nothing more than spoken commands. This revelation, detailed in a report from Interesting Engineering, highlights vulnerabilities in AI-driven control systems that allow hackers to seize control with whispered instructions, potentially turning these robots into tools for disruption or worse. The experiment, conducted during Shanghai’s GEEKCon, involved white-hat hackers testing commercially available robots from manufacturers like Unitree. By exploiting flaws in voice recognition and wireless communication protocols, the team demonstrated how a single command could override the robot’s programming. Once hijacked, the infected robot could then propagate the attack to nearby units via Bluetooth or other short-range networks, forming what experts describe as physical botnets. This cascading effect raises profound concerns for industries relying on robotic systems, from manufacturing to healthcare. According to accounts shared on platforms like X, the demonstration has sparked widespread alarm among technology professionals. Posts from users in the cybersecurity community emphasize the ease of these exploits, with one noting how inaudible audio signals—frequencies between 16 and 22 kHz—can deliver commands beyond human hearing, echoing earlier research on voice assistants like Alexa and Siri. Such tactics, now adapted to physical robots, underscore a broader pattern of vulnerabilities in AI-infused devices. Emerging Threats in Robotic Security Building on this, a story from Slashdot recounts how the DARKNAVY team compromised robots in mere minutes. The hackers used voice commands to inject malicious instructions, bypassing safety protocols and enabling the robots to perform unauthorized actions. This isn’t isolated; similar weaknesses have been identified in robots powered by large language models (LLMs), where prompt injection attacks can trick the AI into harmful behaviors, as explored in a WIRED article from last year. The implications extend beyond individual machines. In the Mashable coverage of the event, it’s noted that a hacked robot can “infect” others in proximity, creating networks of compromised devices. This mirrors digital botnets but in physical form, as discussed in an interview with The Register, where experts warn of risks akin to those in science fiction narratives. For industry insiders, this means reevaluating supply chains, especially with many robots originating from Chinese manufacturers, which could introduce geopolitical tensions into technology deployments. Recent news from WebProNews further elaborates on the GEEKCon findings, revealing that these vulnerabilities allow for stealthy hijacking, potentially turning robots into surveillance tools or disruptors in critical infrastructure. The report stresses the need for robust defenses, pointing out how current systems lack adequate isolation between voice inputs and core controls, making them susceptible to adaptive attacks. Lessons from Past AI Vulnerabilities Delving deeper, the parallels to LLM security issues are striking. Research shared on X highlights how prompt injection attacks in language models can hijack tool usage and leak data, with proposed design patterns aiming to restrict untrusted inputs. A paper from SingularityNET introduces PICO, a transformer architecture designed to prevent such injections, ensuring secure response generation. These concepts could be adapted to robotic systems, where voice commands act as prompts to AI controllers. Moreover, older posts on X reference inaudible command delivery to virtual assistants, a technique now evolving for physical robots. This evolution is evident in a joint paper from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, which evaluates the fragility of LLM safety defenses, finding them easily bypassed by adaptive methods. For robots, this translates to scenarios where seemingly harmless spoken phrases could embed malicious intent, weakening guardrails over time. Anthropic’s research on chain-of-thought reasoning further illustrates the problem: wrapping harmful requests in extended, innocuous dialogues can erode a model’s resistance, leading to compliance with dangerous commands. Applied to robots, this could mean gradual manipulation through conversation, turning a helpful assistant into a liability. Industry Responses and Mitigation Strategies In response to these revelations, manufacturers are scrambling to address the gaps. Unitree, implicated in the demonstrations, has not publicly detailed patches, but industry sources suggest firmware updates are in development to enhance voice authentication and encrypt wireless communications. Experts recommend multi-factor verification for commands, such as combining voice with visual or biometric cues, to prevent unauthorized access. Broader discussions on X and in outlets like The Hacker News bulletin point to a weekly roundup of threats, including AI exploits and stealth loaders, emphasizing the need for ongoing vigilance. For sectors like transportation and power grids, where robots might handle sensitive tasks, these vulnerabilities could lead to catastrophic failures if exploited maliciously. Policymakers are also taking note. While no specific regulations have emerged from this incident, calls for international standards on robotic security are growing. Comparisons to past cyber incidents, such as ransomware attacks on digital infrastructure, highlight the urgency. As one X post from a technology news account puts it, these findings expose “serious security flaws” that could hijack robots en masse, demanding immediate action from developers. Technological Underpinnings of the Exploits At the core of these vulnerabilities lie the integration of AI models that process natural language inputs without sufficient safeguards. Robots equipped with LLMs interpret spoken commands much like chatbots, but unlike software confined to digital realms, these machines interact physically with the environment. The DARKNAVY demo, as reported in StartupNews.fyi, showed how a whispered command could initiate a takeover, leveraging flaws in audio processing algorithms that fail to distinguish between legitimate and adversarial inputs. This issue is compounded by wireless propagation. Once compromised, a robot broadcasts the hack to others, creating a chain reaction. FindArticles.com describes this as using robots as “vessels for broadcast by spoken commands,” passing infections via proximity-based networks. Such mechanisms echo malware spread in computer systems but with tangible, real-world consequences, like a robot arm malfunctioning in a factory or a service bot causing harm in a hospital. Historical context from WIRED’s coverage of LLM-infused robots reveals that researchers have long tricked these systems into violent acts through clever prompting. The recent Chinese tests build on this, demonstrating scalability: a single entry point can compromise an entire fleet, raising alarms for global supply chains dependent on interconnected robotic ecosystems. Future Safeguards and Ethical Considerations To counter these risks, innovators are exploring advanced architectures. For instance, isolating prompt processing in secure modules, as suggested in research on X, could limit the impact of injections. Additionally, incorporating anomaly detection in voice recognition—flagging unusual frequencies or patterns—might thwart inaudible attacks, drawing from studies on virtual assistants. Ethically, the deployment of such robots demands transparency. Manufacturers must disclose vulnerabilities and collaborate on open-source security tools, fostering a community-driven approach to resilience. As seen in The Register’s interview, ignoring these lessons from sci-fi could lead to real-world dystopias, where hacked robots disrupt societies. Industry insiders advocate for red-teaming exercises, simulating attacks to uncover weaknesses before deployment. This proactive stance, combined with regulatory oversight, could mitigate threats, ensuring that the promise of humanoid robots isn’t overshadowed by security pitfalls. Global Implications for Critical Sectors The geopolitical angle cannot be ignored. With many vulnerable robots produced in China, as highlighted in WebProNews, dependencies on foreign tech introduce risks for Western infrastructures. Scenarios of state-sponsored hijackings, while speculative, underscore the need for diversified sourcing and domestic innovation in robotics. In healthcare, where robots assist in surgeries or patient care, a voice-induced malfunction could be life-threatening. Transportation sectors face similar perils, with automated systems potentially derailed by whispered commands. Power grid operators, already wary of cyber threats, now must contend with physical embodiments of those risks. Recent X sentiment reflects growing concern, with posts urging awareness of these “botnets in physical form.” As technology evolves, balancing innovation with security will define the trajectory of humanoid robotics, demanding concerted efforts from all stakeholders. Pathways to Robust Robotic Ecosystems Ultimately, addressing these vulnerabilities requires a multifaceted strategy. Enhancing AI training to recognize adversarial inputs, as explored in the joint LLM paper, is a start. Coupling this with hardware-level protections, like tamper-resistant voice modules, could fortify defenses. Collaboration across borders is essential. Initiatives like those from SingularityNET point to architectural innovations that prevent injections, adaptable to robotic contexts. By prioritizing security in design phases, the industry can prevent exploits from undermining trust. As demonstrations like DARKNAVY’s continue to surface, they serve as wake-up calls, pushing for a more secure integration of AI and robotics. The whispers that control these machines today could echo into broader disruptions tomorrow, but with informed action, the field can advance safely.

Figure 03, robot hình người của công ty Figure AI, thể hiện khả năng xuất phát nhanh, chuyển hướng mượt mà và phanh gấp khi chạy trong một khu nhà. Brett Adcock, CEO công ty Figure AI, hôm 5/12 đăng lên mạng xã hội video ngắn hé lộ sự nhanh nhẹn ấn tượng của Figure 03. Adcock cho biết, bộ điều khiển của robot vận hành nhờ mạng neuron tích hợp do nhóm Helix phát triển. Helix là mô hình Thị giác - Ngôn ngữ - Hành động (VLA) tổng quát được Figure AI công bố hồi tháng 2. Robot hình người Figure 03 chạy, đổi hướng và phanh gấp. Video: Instagram/Brett Adcock Những chuyển động của Figure 03 trong video mới thách thức quan niệm phổ biến rằng robot hình người đa năng chậm chạp và nặng nề. Suốt nhiều năm, điểm yếu của chúng là không có khả năng di chuyển nhanh. Nhiều nhà sản xuất không công bố tốc độ đi bộ tối đa vì con số này thường không ấn tượng. Tốc độ của Figure 03 theo công bố trước đó là khoảng 4,3 km/h. Các robot cạnh tranh như Digit của Agility Robotics hay Phoenix của Sanctuary AI có tốc độ đi bộ tối đa trong khoảng 4,8-6,5 km/h. Trong đoạn clip mới, Adcock cho biết Figure 03 di chuyển với tốc độ tương đương người chạy, khoảng 10,5 km/h. Điều ấn tượng là có lúc robot nhấc cả hai chân lên khỏi mặt đất, đúng theo định nghĩa về chạy, cho thấy khả năng giữ ổn định đặc biệt tốt. Ngoài ra, robot cũng có thể giảm tốc và đổi hướng nhanh chóng, thể hiện tiến bộ lớn về hệ thống điều khiển và cơ cấu truyền động mô-men xoắn cao. Vài ngày trước, Optimus, robot hình người của nhà sản xuất xe điện Tesla, cũng gây sốt khi chạy giống người với tốc độ nhanh, ước tính khoảng 13,7 km/h hay 3,8 m mỗi giây (3,8 m/s). Theo Humanoids Daily, tốc độ này tương đương những robot hình người nhanh nhất thế giới, vượt qua STAR1 của startup RobotEra (Trung Quốc) với tốc độ 3,6 m/s và H1 của Unitree (Trung Quốc) với tốc độ 3,3 m/s. Figure 03 được thiết kế để đưa vào sản xuất hàng loạt, sẵn sàng hoạt động trong gia đình và cả môi trường công nghiệp. Robot cao 173 cm, là phiên bản nâng cấp của Figure 02 với hệ thống cảm biến nhạy hơn, vẻ ngoài mềm mại và khả năng phối hợp tốt hơn. Với khối lượng nhẹ hơn 9% và thể tích giảm đáng kể so với Figure 02, robot thế hệ mới chuyển động dễ dàng hơn nhiều, đặc biệt là trong môi trường gia đình. Figure 03 sở hữu bàn tay mềm mại và linh hoạt, trang bị cảm biến đầu ngón tay giúp phát hiện áp lực cực nhẹ, chỉ 3 gram, xấp xỉ trọng lượng một chiếc kẹp giấy. Độ nhạy cao cho phép robot cầm nắm những vật dụng mỏng manh như đồ thủy tinh một cách an toàn, hạn chế việc chúng bị trượt khỏi tay. Thu Thảo (Theo Forbes, Interesting Engineering)

Jeff Bezos, Nvidia Corp. and other big technology names are investing in a business that’s developing human-like robots, according to people with knowledge of the situation, part of a scramble to find new applications for artificial intelligence. The startup Figure AI Inc. — also backed by OpenAI and Microsoft Corp. — is raising about $675 million in a funding round that carries a pre-money valuation of roughly $2 billion, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. Through his firm Explore Investments LLC, Bezos has committed $100 million. Microsoft is investing $95 million, while Nvidia and an Amazon.com Inc.-affiliated fund are each providing $50 million. Robots have emerged as a critical new frontier for the AI industry, letting it apply cutting-edge technology to real-world tasks. At Figure, engineers are working on a robot that looks and moves like a human. The company has said it hopes its machine, called Figure 01, will be able to perform dangerous jobs that are unsuitable for people and that its technology will help alleviate labor shortages.

Intel Corp.’s venture capital arm is pouring in $25 million, and LG Innotek is providing $8.5 million. Samsung’s investment group, meanwhile, committed $5 million. Backers also include venture firms Parkway Venture Capital, which is investing $100 million, and Align Ventures, which is providing $90 million. The ARK Venture Fund is participating as well, putting in $2.5 million, while Aliya Capital Partners is investing $20 million. Other investors include Tamarack, at $27 million; Boscolo Intervest Ltd., investing $15 million; and BOLD Capital Partners, at $2.5 million. OpenAI, which at one point considered acquiring Figure, is investing $5 million. Bloomberg News reported in January on the funding round, which kicked off with Microsoft and OpenAI as the initial lead investors. Those big names helped attract the influx of cash from the other entities. The $675 million raised is a significant increase over the $500 million initially sought by Figure. Representatives for Figure and its investors declined to comment or didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. People with knowledge of the matter expect the investors to wire the funds to Figure AI and sign formal agreements on Monday, but the numbers could change as final details are worked out. The roughly $2 billion valuation is pre-money, meaning it doesn’t account for the capital that Figure is raising. Last May, Figure raised $70 million in funding round led by Parkway. At the time, Chief Executive Officer Brett Adcock said, “We hope that we’re one of the first groups to bring to market a humanoid that can actually be useful and do commercial activities.” The AI robotics industry has been busy lately. Earlier this year, OpenAI-backed Norwegian robotics startup 1X Technologies AS raised $100 million. Vancouver-based Sanctuary AI is developing a humanoid robot called Phoenix. And Tesla Inc. is working on a robot called Optimus, with Elon Musk calling it one of his most important projects. Agility Robotics, which Amazon backed in 2022, has bots in testing at one of the retailer’s warehouses. Bezos — the world’s second-richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Ranking — was Amazon’s chief executive officer until 2021 and remains chairman. His net worth is estimated at $197.1 billion. © 2025 Fortune Media IP Limited. All Rights Reserved.

March 20th Watch List A new "iPhone moment" is being hailed by the robotics industry, with a powerful era underway for manufacturing and domestic assistance. "When, literally, humanoid robots are wandering around, is not five years away, this is a few years away," Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang said this week at the GTC conference. The company, along with others, already has a lot of skin in the game, with its RTX GPUs powering bots and the firm's coming Isaac GR00T N1 serving as a generalist foundation model.Next generation: As the staple of any sci-fi movie in the past, humanoid robots are now moving closer to reality due to advances in artificial general intelligence. It's part of what is being called "embodied AI," which harnesses AI technology inside of hardware - in this case a robot that can carry out real-world functions. Up until recently, most bots relied on code to perform their tasks, which limited their applications. The promise of AI will allow them to learn new jobs by reasoning and imitation, or eventually identifying and solving situations like a human by "generalizing across common tasks.""We know very clearly that the world has severe shortages of human laborers, human workers," Huang continued. Humanoid robots never need to take a day off, can work around the clock, and are able to be used in multiple settings. That includes the workforce, like in factory environments or the assembly line, as well as the home, for tasks such as vacuuming, folding laundry, doing dishes, and even companionship.In the race: One of the biggest known players is Tesla's (TSLA) Optimus, which Elon Musk has called the "biggest product in history" with plans to produce up to 1M units by 2027 (could it help reignite the stock?). Another U.S.-based player is Brett Adcock's Figure AI, which is backed by Microsoft (MSFT) and OpenAI. The company's bots are geared toward manual labor tasks like logistics and warehousing, and have already been deployed in BMW factories. Others out there include Atlas by Boston Dynamics and Phoenix by Sanctuary AI, as well as Chinese bots like Unitree's G1, CyberOne by Xiaomi and UBTECH's Walker S1, so be on the lookout for more industry partnerships and innovation.

Siga o Olhar Digital no Google Discover A evolução dos robôs bípedes ganhou um novo capítulo após a divulgação de um vídeo que mostra o robô humanoide Figure 03, da empresa americana Figure AI, correndo em velocidade próxima à de um ser humano durante uma leve corrida. O material, divulgado pelo CEO Brett Adcock, mostra o dispositivo acelerando rapidamente, fazendo curvas suaves e até freando com precisão dentro de um ambiente fechado — sequências que desafiam a ideia comum de que esses robôs são lentos e rígidos. Segundo Adcock, o desempenho é resultado de um controlador alimentado por uma rede neural desenvolvida pela equipe Helix, que permite ao robô executar movimentos complexos com maior agilidade e estabilidade. As informações são do Interesting Engineering. Uma publicação compartilhada por Brett Adcock (@brett_adcock) A lentidão sempre foi apontada como a principal limitação dos humanoides generalistas. Modelos reconhecidos, como o Digit, da Agility Robotics, e o Phoenix, da Sanctuary AI, costumam declarar velocidades entre 3 e 4 milhas por hora. A própria Figure AI havia divulgado que o Figure 03 alcançaria cerca de 1,3 m/s (2,7 mph). No entanto, o novo vídeo revela uma performance muito superior. Relatos indicam que o robô humanoide opera entre 4 e 6 mph, faixa equivalente ao ritmo de uma corrida leve realizada por humanos. Além disso, o dispositivo aparece com ambos os pés no ar ao mesmo tempo, característica técnica que define a corrida. Esse padrão de movimento exige controle dinâmico avançado — um obstáculo que a maioria dos humanoides ainda não superou. O robô também demonstrou frenagem rápida e mudanças de direção fluidas. Segundo a empresa, a agilidade foi impulsionada pelo novo sistema de atuação de alto torque e pela inteligência da rede neural embarcada. Além do desempenho em locomoção, o Figure 03 se destaca como um robô pronto para uso comercial, projetado para aplicações domésticas e industriais. Principais atributos do modelo: A empresa afirma que os atuadores do Figure 03 operam duas vezes mais rápido, mantendo torque mais denso — característica que aumenta a velocidade de tarefas como pegar e posicionar objetos. Leia mais: O avanço coloca o robô humanoide como um dos mais promissores da categoria, em um momento em que a Tesla e outras concorrentes também anunciam melhorias significativas em velocidade e agilidade. A corrida por robôs capazes de atuar no mundo real, com movimentos rápidos e alta precisão, está oficialmente acirrada.

Aunque durante décadas fueron patrimonio exclusivo de la ciencia ficción, los robots humanoides ya son una realidad tangible. Caminan, hablan, manipulan objetos y, en algunos casos, incluso cocinan, juegan al fútbol o doblan ropa. Un artículo publicado en Forbes reúne diez de los modelos más avanzados del momento, desarrollados por gigantes tecnológicos como Tesla, Boston Dynamics o startups emergentes como Figure AI y 1X Technologies. Según un reciente informe de Morgan Stanley, para 2035 habrá 13 millones de robots humanoides conviviendo con los humanos, y esa cifra podría escalar a mil millones para 2050. Sin embargo, esa revolución ya empezó: muchos de estos robots se encuentran actualmente en fase de prueba o incluso trabajando en entornos industriales y domésticos. Fabricante: Tesla Costo: Se proyecta entre USD 20.000 y USD 30.000 Anunciado en 2023, el Optimus de segunda generación ya fue probado en las fábricas de Tesla. De acuerdo con Elon Musk, podría ser más importante que sus autos en el futuro. Según Bernard Marr, experto en tecnología empresarial, el modelo está construido alrededor del mismo marco de automatización que los autos, con sistemas de motores, baterías, navegación e inteligencia artificial interconectados. Aunque se lo ha visto recogiendo huevos, bailando y jugando a Piedra, Papel o Tijera con Kim Kardashian, hay dudas sobre si algunas de estas demostraciones son impulsadas por IA o control remoto. Fabricante: Boston Dynamics Costo: No disponible comercialmente Famoso por sus videos virales en YouTube, el nuevo Atlas es completamente eléctrico y más liviano que sus versiones anteriores. Esta evolución permite movimientos más precisos y resistentes a daños. Aunque no está disponible comercialmente, sigue siendo uno de los referentes más populares de la robótica humanoide. Fabricante: 1X Technologies Costo: Se proyecta entre USD 20.000 y USD 30.000 Con una estructura recubierta en tela de nailon y actuadores por tendones, Neo Gamma fue diseñado para convivir con humanos. Puede doblar ropa, aspirar o cargar el lavavajillas, y mantener conversaciones gracias a un modelo de lenguaje propio desarrollado por OpenAI. Su diseño apunta al confort y la seguridad en el hogar. Fabricante: Fourier Intelligence Costo: El precio actual no se ha revelado, se reportó que los modelos GR-1 previos costaban aproximadamente USD 149.000 Este robot, considerado el primer humanoide producido en masa, puede caminar hasta 8 km/h y manipular objetos con precisión táctil. Ya se utiliza en entornos académicos, industriales y está en fase de prueba para tareas de cuidado en el hogar. Se trata de una evolución del modelo GR-1, con manos el doble de hábiles que las de su predecesor. Fabricante: Unitree Costo: USD 16.000 Este humanoide chino logró en 2024 el récord Guinness como el robot humanoide más veloz del mundo, alcanzando 11,8 km/h. Con sensores LiDAR y tecnología de código abierto, puede abrir botellas, hacer volteretas, freír comida y operar herramientas. Esta característica permite que diversas industrias con recursos acotados puedan incorporarlo. Fabricante: Figure AI Costo: Se proyecta alrededor de USD 150.000 Instalado en una planta de BMW en EE.UU., este robot aumentó un 400 % la velocidad de trabajo en comparación con su versión anterior. Financiado por las grandes empresas tecnológicas como OpenAI, Amazon, Nvidia, Intel y Microsoft, se integra en entornos industriales levantando objetos grandes y realizando tareas de precisión, y es capaz de conversar gracias a una IA personalizada. Fabricante: Agility Robotics Costo: No se divulgó públicamente Este modelo está especializado en tareas logísticas como clasificación y transporte de objetos en almacenes. Junto con Figure 02, es uno de los pocos humanoides ya comercializados para aplicaciones industriales. Fabricante: Sanctuary AI Costo: No se divulgó públicamente Lo que diferencia a Phoenix es su capacidad de aprendizaje. Mientras que entrenar a otros robots puede llevar semanas, Phoenix puede aprender nuevas tareas en apenas 24 horas. Ya fue implementado en comercios minoristas canadienses para reponer estantes y empaquetar pedidos. Fabricante: Apptronik Costo: No se divulgó públicamente Este robot de estructura robusta fue sometido a pruebas exitosas por parte de un destacado fabricante automotriz europeo y la NASA. Está diseñado para operar en entornos industriales exigentes, como muelles de carga, y tiene la capacidad de levantar hasta 11.340 kilogramos. Su desarrollo apunta a fomentar la incorporación de humanoides en la industria pesada. Fabricante: Booster Robotics Costo: USD 47.685 A pesar de su tamaño compacto, solo 1,2 metros de altura, este robot participó en el primer campeonato de fútbol con robots completamente autónomos, celebrado en China. En equipos de tres, los Booster T1 cooperaban entre sí, regateaban, anotaban goles y se reincorporaban tras caer al suelo. A medida que estos avances se aceleran, la pregunta deja de ser si los robots humanoides serán parte de la vida cotidiana, y pasa a ser cuán preparados están las personas para convivir con ellos. Marr destacó que “ya no son solo prototipos; se están convirtiendo en compañeros de trabajo, colaboradores y asistentes cotidianos”.

컴퓨팅입력 :2024/12/27 15:55 수정: 2024/12/28 07:05 공중제비를 도는 로봇부터 인간과 비슷한 표정을 짓는 로봇까지 올해 다양한 휴머노이드 로봇이 등장했다. 과학전문매체 라이브사이언스는 26일(이하 현지시간) 올해 소개됐던 휴머노이드 로봇 중 가장 진보된 로봇 7개를 선정해 보도했다. 1위 테슬라 옵티머스 로봇 2세대 테슬라는 지난 10월 ‘위, 로봇’(We, Robot) 행사에서 세련된 휴머노이드 로봇의 최신 세대 제품을 선보이며 참석자들을 열광시켰다. 하지만, 옵티머스 로봇이 자율적으로 움직인 것이 아닌 인간이 원격 조정한 것으로 알려지며 비판을 받기도 했다. 하지만 인공지능(AI) 기술과 고급 센서를 탑재한 옵티머스 로봇은 내년 중 테슬라 공장에 도입될 예정이다. 테슬라의 막대한 자금력과 최첨단 AI 기술, 배터리 기술 및 부품에 대한 접근성을 감안할 때 2세대 옵티머스 로봇은 오늘날 가장 완벽하고 진보된 휴머노이드 로봇으로 인정받을 만하다고 해당 매체는 전했다. 2위 보스턴다이내믹스 아틀라스 로봇 1.5m 높이 보스턴다이내믹스사의 휴머노이드 로봇 ‘아틀라스’는 놀라운 균형 감각을 지닌 것으로 유명하다. 시속 9km 속도로 달리고 점프하며 백플립도 문제 없어 균형감각은 물론 험난한 지형도 곧잘 다닐 수 있다. 하지만, 아틀라스 로봇은 아직 시제품 단계에 머물러 있어 출시되려면 조금 기다려야 할 것으로 보인다. 3위 아메카 로봇 영국 로봇기업 엔지니어드 아츠(Engineered Arts)가 개발한 아메카(Ameca) 로봇이 3위에 꼽혔다. 이 로봇은 사실적인 감정 표현과 손 동작을 할 수 있어 표정과 제스처는 정말 사람과 비슷해 약간 오싹한 느낌이 든다. 유연한 피부와 사실적인 눈에 온보드 또는 클라우드 기반 AI 기능을 갖춰 사람에게 미소로 응답하고 묻는 질문에 즉시 대답할 수도 있다. 다른 로봇들과의 차이점은 아메카가 아직 걸을 수 없다는 점이다. 대신 모듈식으로 설계돼 바퀴에 부착하거나 몸통과 머리만 구매할 수 있다. 4위 피규어 02 이 로봇도 옵티머스와 비슷하게 공상과학 영화에서 튀어나온 것 같이 생겼다. AI 휴머노이드 로봇스타트업 ‘피규어 AI’가 개발한 이 로봇은 1.68m 높이에 자유롭게 걷고 짐을 옮길 수 있는 휴머노이드 로봇이다. 피규어 02 로봇의 차별점은 오픈AI의 대규모 언어모델(LLM)을 적용해 말할 수 있다는 점이다. 먹을 것을 달라고 하면 사과를 건네주고 챗GPT처럼 말을 할 수 있다. 하지만, 이 로봇도 아직은 시제품 개발 단계에 머물러 있다. 5위 피닉스(Phoenix) 로봇 캐나다 AI 로봇 전문기업 생츄어리 AI(Sanctuary AI)는 필요에 따라 12면 주사위를 조작할 수 있을 정도로 손재주가 뛰어난 손가락을 갖춘 피닉스 로봇을 최근 공개했다. 이 로봇은 각 손가락에 촉각 패드를 장착해 미세한 손동작이 가능하다. 하지만, 이 로봇도 아직 프로토타입에 머물러 있으며, 현재까지는 캐나다 소매점에서 상품 포장 등의 작업을 파일럿 형태로 간간히 수행하고 있다. 6위 애질리티 로보틱스 디지트 로봇 디지트 로봇은 창고 같은 곳에서 짐을 옮기는 등의 반복적인 작업을 수행하도록 개발됐다. 디지트 로봇의 장점은 타 경쟁사와 달리 실제 현장에 투입돼 업무를 보고 있다는 점이다. 미국 조지아주 플라워리 지점의 GXO로지스틱스의 물류 시설에 디지트 로봇이 도입돼 물건을 컨베이어 벨트로 옮기고 있다. 디지트 로봇의 가격은 3만6천 달러다. 7위 아폴로 로봇 앱트로닉이 개발한 로봇 ‘아폴로’ 로봇은 키 173cm, 무게 72.5kg의 인간형 로봇으로 공장에서 일하는 것처럼 노인을 돌볼 수 있고 엔비디아와의 협력을 통해 AI 기술을 사용해 사람들이 수행하는 작업을 관찰해 이를 학습해 배울 수 있다. 하지만, 현재는 아직 프로토타입 단계이나 현재 앱트로닉은 메르세데스 벤츠와 협력에 자동차 공장에서 여러 가지 시나리오를 테스트 중이며 내년 말부터 실제 사용에 들어갈 예정이다.

Seleziona Pagina Inserito da Alessandro Tartarino | Ott 18, 2025 | Rubriche | 0 | Ho spesso associato l’ascolto di “Love” con almeno altri quattro dischi ovvero “The Crossing” dei Big Country, “Strenght” degli Alarm, “Once Upon A Time” dei Simple Minds e “Synchronicity” dei Police, non tanto per il fatto che uscirono tutti in quegli anni (1983-1985) quanto piuttosto per l’emozione che mi suscitava l’ascolto insieme di queste pietre miliari. Mi ricordo che saltavo da un vinile all’altro per ascoltare ora “Spirit Of “’76” ora “In A Big Country” oppure “Sanctify Yourself”, insomma una goduria. Ecco, accantonato quasi del tutto l’ottimo esordio “Dreamtime” del 1984 mi sono immerso completamente in “Love”, uscito l’anno seguente, che considero, ancora oggi, uno dei migliori dischi gothic-rock mai pubblicati nonchè uno dei miei album preferiti al quale sono indissolubilmente legato per via di alcuni ricordi indelebili ad esso collegati. Non poteva essere che l’autunno la migliore stagione per far uscire questo manifesto gotico con le atmosfere a tinte grigio scuro delle sonorità che avvolgono le dieci tracce che a loro volta si districano per quasi un’ora in un perfetto equilibrio tra vigoria e paturnia.L’album si presenta come una variegata esperienza pur seguendo un leitmotiv ben a fuoco che non poteva che essere introdotto da una folgorante “Nirvana” con i riff di chitarra insistenti sorretti da ambientazioni cupe e meste. I membri dei Cult hanno trasfuso tutto il loro background darkwave nel progetto; Ian Astbury che proveniva dal new-wave dei Southern Death Cult e il biondissimo Billy Duffy dal punk-rock dei Theatre Of Hate. Dopo “Love”, il duo britannico (coadiuvato dal bassista Jamie Stewart) si dedicò maggiormente al rock classico seventies e, infatti, “Electric” da sfoggio a chitarroni pesanti che però fu ben lontano dal successo commerciale della loro seconda fatica. Edito per la label Beggars Banquet, “Love” è ancora oggi l’album più distribuito e venduto della band con quasi due milioni e mezzo di copie e sicuramente artefici di questo successo sono state le tre hit contenute nell’album; la post-punkiana “Rain”, la ballad mascherata di blus “Revolution” e, soprattutto, la seducente e accattivante “She Sells Sanctuary”, primo singolo e probabilmente il pezzo più famoso dei Cult con Nigel Preston alla batteria, poi sostituito da Mark Brzezicki dei Big Country nel resto dei pezzi. Non c’è un brano che si lascia preferire anche se perle come l’ipnotica “Big Neon Glitter” con il suo incedere trionfale e la struggente “Brother Wolf, Sister Moon”, quasi sette minuti che si muovono in territori aspri e oscuri a rappresentare un inno alla natura e ai pellerossa, vorrebbero dominare il long-playing. Un album fondamentale, come si dice avuto riguardo alle pietre miliari, un album che, forse, raggiunge il suo apice nella tormentata traccia di chiusura, un cantico sull’amore ma anche sulla fine della vita: “Black Angel” è un folk buio sorretto da tastiere e chitarra acustica dove luccica nella melodia la voce calda e intensa di Astbury, da pelle d’oca. “Love” è un disco completo e suggestivo, incredibilmente maturo per un sophomore, un viaggio tra tetre ambientazioni e atmosfere rarefatte dove il perfetto equilibrio tra sonorità dark e quelle rock si riverbera nelle note gotiche inconfondibili e senza tempo.

Propulsées par l’IA, ces startups redéfinissent le rôle du robot dans nos vies. Avec l’essor de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) générative, une autre discipline a connu un nouvel élan, celle des robots humanoïdes. Les avancées dans ce domaine sont de plus en plus significatives, et ces machines s’imposent comme des candidats sérieux pour pallier la pénurie de main-d’œuvre qui s’abat dans diverses filières. Et puisqu’il n’y a pas que Tesla dans la vie, voici les startups les plus prometteuses à ce jour. Elle est certainement l’une des plus en vogue, grâce au soutien de géants comme Jeff Bezos, OpenAI ou NVIDIA. Fondée en 2022 par Brett Adcock, Figure AI développe des humanoïdes polyvalents pour l’industrie, la logistique et, à terme, la maison. Son robot Figure 02, testé chez BMW, manipule des pièces métalliques avec une dextérité poussée grâce à son IA. Baptisée Helix, elle lui permet de voir, comprendre et agir en temps réel. L’entreprise vise la production de 100 000 unités d’ici à 2029, et un prix final compris entre 10 000 et 30 000 dollars. Elle a levé plus de 700 millions de dollars et dispose déjà d’une usine capable de produire 12 000 robots par an. Également originaire des États-Unis, Apptronik développe Apollo, un humanoïde pensé pour l’industrie, la logistique ou encore les soins à domicile. Capable de porter jusqu’à 25 kg, Apollo en est déjà à sa 9e version, avec l’ambition d’atteindre un prix inférieur à celui d’une voiture. Soutenue par Google, DeepMind et Mercedes-Benz, la startup a levé 350 millions de dollars début 2025 pour passer à l’échelle. Objectif : produire en masse dès 2026, en s’appuyant sur un partenariat avec la multinationale Jabil dans lequel les robots participeront à leur propre fabrication. Voyage du côté de la Chine, où le marché des humanoïdes est également florissant. Née à Hangzhou, Unitree s’est faite connaître grâce à ses robots quadrupèdes abordables, avant de se lancer dans l’humanoïde. Son modèle G1, vendu autour de 16 000 dollars, impressionne par ses capacités : mobilité fluide, interaction réaliste, etc. L’entreprise conçoit en interne tous ses composants clés, de quoi lui permettre de viser une production de masse à coûts réduits. Son ambition : rendre la robotique humanoïde accessible à de nombreux secteurs, et son partenariat récent avec Amazon pourrait l’aider à y parvenir. Possédant le statut de licorne, Unitree est tout de même scrutée pour ses possibles liens avec l’armée chinoise. Une jeune pousse européenne attire elle aussi de nombreuses convoitises. Fondée en 2019 en Allemagne, Neura Robotics développe des humanoïdes conçus pour collaborer en toute sécurité avec les humains. Son modèle phare, 4NE1, est le premier humanoïde prêt pour une production en série. Il est accompagné de MiPA, un assistant domestique intelligent lancé en 2025, et de MAiRA, un robot cognitif industriel. Leur force : une IA embarquée capable de voir, entendre, toucher et apprendre. Grâce à la plateforme Neuraverse (sorte d’App Store robotique), les robots de Neura s’améliorent en continu. Dans ce contexte, la startup ambitionne de livrer 5 millions de robots d’ici à 2030, et peut notamment s’appuyer sur le soutien de NVIDIA, Vodafone, SAP ou Kawasaki. Son approche responsable et modulaire, appuyée sur le cloud et la 5G, fait d’elle une référence européenne de la robotique cognitive. Et c’est une autre société made in Europe. C’est en Scandinavie, et plus précisément en Norvège, que 1X Technologies a vu le jour. Précédemment baptisé Halodi Robotics, la startup se spécialise dans les robots humanoïdes évoluant dans les environnements domestiques. Son modèle NEO Gamma, bipède et ultra fin, vise une intégration fluide dans nos salons. Il est piloté par Redwood, une IA multimodale entraîné sur un jumeau numérique de l’intérieur des foyers. Pour l’heure, le robot reste partiellement téléopéré, mais une phase de tests dans des milliers de foyers est prévue à la fin de l’année. Des géants comme NVIDIA, Samsung, Jeff Bezos et OpenAI la suivent de très près. Nous retournons du côté de l’Empire du Milieu. Fondée début 2023 par Peng Zhihui, ancien ingénieur star de Huawei, AgiBot (ou Zhiyuan Robotics) impressionne par sa croissance fulgurante. Son humanoïde RAISE A1, capable de visser des boulons, inspecter des véhicules ou réaliser des expériences, porte jusqu’à 80 kg et marche à 7 km/h. Et la gamme s’est rapidement élargie avec des modèles comme Yuanzheng A2 ou Lingxi X1, robot open-source destiné aux développeurs. AgiBot mise sur la production de masse et des prix inférieurs à 27 500 dollars. Soutenue par BYD, LG, China Mobile ou Mirae Asset, la startup développe aussi un grand modèle IA, GO-1, et une plateforme de données partagée. Avec des démonstrations devant Xi Jinping, elle s’impose comme un acteur central de la robotique chinoise, et ses ambitions sont mondiales. Pour terminer, direction le Canada. Fondée en 2018 à Vancouver, Sanctuary AI développe Phoenix, un robot humanoïde conçu pour prendre en charge des tâches industrielles complexes dans des secteurs comme l’automobile, la logistique ou l’énergie. Alimenté par l’IA maison Carbon, Phoenix allie dextérité fine, retours tactiles avancés et manipulation précise, même sans visibilité. L’entreprise mise sur des mains articulées à haute puissance hydraulique et des algorithmes d’apprentissage par renforcement pour reproduire le geste humain en conditions réelles. Soutenue à hauteur de 92 millions de dollars, Sanctuary figure parmi les leaders mondiaux en matière de brevets robotiques. Son objectif : déployer des millions d’humanoïdes capables d’automatiser les métiers les plus pénibles, tout en renforçant la sécurité, l’efficacité et la collaboration homme-machine dans l’industrie. 📍 Pour ne manquer aucune actualité de Presse-citron, suivez-nous sur Google Actualités et WhatsApp. Newsletter 🍋 Abonnez-vous, et recevez chaque matin un résumé de l’actu tech J'ai lu et accepte les termes et les conditions robot Sur le même sujet Ce nouveau robot LG, d’un tout nouveau genre, va vous débarrasser des tâches ménagères RD2D ou C-3PO ?

A new report on the artificial intelligence (AI) sector warns that while Canada is well-positioned with personnel and leading research in the area, Canadian companies face significant barriers as they scale up. The Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI) contends that a lack of Canadian companies scaling up is leading to many of the benefits created from public investment in research and training in AI flowing to firms outside of Canada. Last week, BetaKit reported the acquisition of Waterloo-based Clearpath Robotics by U.S. firm Rockwell Automation. Now, The Globe and Mail is reporting details on the competitive sale process, with Rockwell beating out two strategic investors with a bid north of $550-million USD. Toronto-based artificial intelligence (AI) drug development startup Deep Genomics has hired Brian O’Callaghan as its next CEO, replacing company founder and CEO Brendan Frey. O’Callaghan brings an extensive knowledge of biotechnology, pharma, and clinical research organizations to Deep Genomics while Frey will shift to chief innovation officer and remain on Deep Genomics’ board of directors.

Register now! GET MY FREE PASS TODAY Google has given a small group of companies access to an early version of its highly anticipated conversational artificial intelligence software, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter. Giving outside developers access to the software, known as Gemini, means Google is getting close to incorporating it in its consumer services and selling it to businesses through the company’s cloud unit. A few years ago, a strong password and antivirus software were all businesses needed to stay safe online. According to Ian Paterson, CEO of Victoria-based Plurilock, that era has ended. Plurilock, which offers zero-trust authentication products based on technologies like behavioural biometrics and data loss prevention (DLP), has scaled significantly—executing a roll-up strategy that has seen the company make four acquisitions and grow its revenue from roughly $500,000 to over $64 million in just two years. Generative artificial intelligence has brought us the Pope in a coat and deepfake Drake, but also a potentially immense problem in separating fact from fiction. Today, anyone can create photorealistic images with Midjourney, churn out prose with ChatGPT or clone a voice in minutes. So how good are you at spotting fakes? Nearly every company leader in the world is thinking about the potential opportunity—and risk—of generative AI for their business and customers. In an interview with BetaKit, Coveo CEO Louis Têtu shared takeaways from his world tour, the growth in AI-enabled experiences, and how CIOs can prepare for the “tectonic change” of generative AI. Montréal-based Inovia Capital has launched its first Discovery Fund, closing $34 million CAD ($25 million USD) to invest in emerging North American venture capital (VC) fund managers focused on pre-seed and seed-stage startups. The Discovery Fund formalizes Inovia’s existing efforts to invest in emerging VC firms as many face difficulties fundraising. Vancouver’s Sanctuary AI recently unveiled the latest iteration of its humanoid robot, a machine equipped with human-like hands and powered by artificial intelligence to help it complete seemingly mundane tasks. The company has attracted venture-capital and government investment as it works to make Phoenix mostly autonomous and capable of real-world jobs currently filled by humans. Calgary-based software startup Ontopical wants to make it easier for companies across North America to discover and win government contracts. Now armed with $3.3 million CAD in fresh funding and a new CEO in Clayton Feick, Ontopical has set its sights on layering on AI to help its private sector clients derive as much insight as possible from data on local government procurement. More than 20 tech and civil society leaders, including the chief executives of five of the 10 biggest U.S. companies, appeared at a closed-door Senate meeting on Wednesday to shape how artificial intelligence is regulated. The CEOs of Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and OpenAI were invited to appear alongside rivals and industry critics to discuss possible guardrails for AI that balance the risks and rewards of the technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) marketing startup Streamforge has raised $1.6 million CAD ($1.2 million USD). Founded in 2018 by Xavier Constantin and Nick Lombardi, the Streamforge platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help brands and publishers identify content creators and audiences who best align with their goals. Enfabrica, which designs networking chips to handle AI workloads, closed a $125 million Series B led by Atreides Management, and included an investment from new investor Nvidia. Mountain View, California-based Enfabrica’s chip allows for the consistent flow of data needed for modern AI workloads.

Manage your account If you ever come across a mother cow and her calf, do not just assume that you can walk up to her child and play with them as though they were your own children. After all, mother cows can be fiercely protective of their young. As you can see from the video, Phoenix the cow did not want this human going anywhere near her baby. From the get-go, you can tell by Phoenix's expression that she was not having any of this. This woman approached her and her baby out of nowhere, babbling on about milk, and Phoenix was clearly like, "I'm a cow. Don't tell me about milk." Additionally, after both Phoenix and her adorable baby stared at this woman with expressions that were south of blank but north of agitated, she continued to get closer to the baby while flapping her gums about if he was going to get more milk from his mama. Phoenix very politely tried to ignore this rudeness, focusing on licking her young calf to make sure he was clean, hoping that she would take a hint and leave them alone. But nevertheless, this woman persisted. Related: Mother Cow Who Lost Her Baby Instantly 'Adopts' Calf 'Crying for His Mama' at Sanctuary It was at this point that Phoenix decided that it was just best to walk away. She led her calf away down the pasture, leaving this talkative woman completely flabbergasted, still unable to understand that she did not want anyone going near her child. When it comes to mother cows and their young, it is important to realize that these beautiful bovines have very strong maternal instincts. They have very deep bonds with their young and do not want anyone around who might threaten them, or even just annoy them. Now, we don't think the woman in this video poses a threat of any kind. However, she did underestimate how much Phoenix would tolerate her in the presence of her young calf. And apparently, this woman has a knack for agitating cows, as you can see in this other video. We actually side with the woman on this one. After all, that is another cow's calf. This woman was right to ask her what Ci Ci the cow was doing with that baby. We don't think that Ci Ci was in the right to take her frustrations out on that poor baby. Fortunately, there is no indication that this calf was hurt when Ci Ci kicked them. Hopefully, this kind of behavior is not too frequent on this farm. Looking for more PetHelpful updates? Follow us on YouTube for more entertaining videos.

Microsoft - 95 млн долларов, а Nvidia и фонд, связанный с Amazon, - по 50 млн долларов. "Роботы стали новым критически важным рубежом для индустрии искусственного интеллекта, позволяющим применять передовые технологии для решения реальных задач. В компании Figure инженеры работают над роботом, который выглядит и двигается как человек. Компания надеется, что ее машина Figure 01 сможет выполнять опасные работы, которые не под силу людям, и что ее технология поможет уменьшить дефицит рабочей силы", - пишет агентство. Другие технологические компании также присоединяются к финансированию проекта. Так, венчурное подразделение Intel Corp. инвестирует 25 миллионов долларов, а LG Innotek предоставляет 8,5 млн долларов. Инвестиционная группа Samsung выделила 5 миллионов долларов. Среди инвесторов также венчурные компании Parkway Venture Capital, которая инвестирует 100 млн долл, и Align Ventures, которая предоставляет 90 млн долл. Венчурный фонд ARK Venture Fund инвестирует 2,5 миллиона долларов, а Aliya Capital Partners - 20 миллионов долларов. Среди других инвесторов - Tamarack (27 млн долл), Boscolo Intervest Ltd. (15 млн долл) и BOLD Capital Partners (2,5 млн долл). OpenAI, которая в какой-то момент рассматривала возможность приобретения Figure, инвестирует 5 млн долл. В январе Bloomberg писал о раунде финансирования, который начался с Microsoft и OpenAI как первичных ведущих инвесторов. "Эти большие имена помогли привлечь приток средств от других компаний. Привлеченные 675 миллионов долларов являются значительным увеличением по сравнению с 500 миллионами долларов, которые изначально хотела получить компания Figure. Представители компании Figure и ее инвесторов отказались от комментариев или не сразу ответили на запросы о комментариях", - пишет Bloomberg. Примерно 2 миллиарда долларов - это предварительная оценка, то есть она не учитывает капитал, который привлекает компания Figure. В мае 2023 года Figure привлекла 70 миллионов долларов в раунде финансирования, возглавляемом компанией Parkway. Тогда главный исполнительный директор Бретт Адкок сказал: "Мы надеемся, что мы одна из первых групп, которые выведут на рынок гуманоида, который действительно может быть полезным и заниматься коммерческой деятельностью". В начале этого года норвежский робототехнический стартап 1X Technologies AS, созданный при поддержке OpenAI, привлек 100 миллионов долларов. Ванкуверская компания Sanctuary AI разрабатывает человекоподобного робота под названием Phoenix. А компания Tesla работает над роботом под названием Optimus, и Илон Маск называет его одним из своих важнейших проектов, добавляет Bloomberg.

МЫ В СОЦСЕТЯХ: Поделиться: Беспокоиться не стоит — пока что андроида обучают люди, и он полностью зависит от их знаний и команд. Канадская компания Sanctuary AI представила нового робота гуманоида Phoenix, который способен выполнять различные виды работ с помощью искусственного интеллекта, сообщает New Atlas. Phoenix является шестым поколением роботов общего назначения (GPR), созданных Sanctuary AI, и работает на основе уникальной системы управления Carbon, которая придает ему человекоподобный интеллект и позволяет ему выполнять сотни задач, востребованных в более чем дюжине разных отраслей. Рост робота 170 см, а весь составляет 70 кг, то есть он по размеру со среднестатистического человека. Пока что Phoenix не так силен, как люди и может поднимать только 25 кг, а так же неспешно передвигаться с пешеходной скоростью 5 км/ч. Зато у него есть революционные роботизированные руки с повышенной степенью свободы (на 20 манипуляций), которые конкурируют с ловкостью человеческой руки. А еще робот оснащен гаптической технологией, которая имитирует ощущение прикосновения. Управление андроидом происходит за счет когнитивной архитектуры Carbon — это программная платформа для роботов общего назначения. Она интегрирует современные технологии искусственного интеллекта, чтобы переводить естественный язык в действие в реальном мире. Система позволяет Phoenix думать и действовать так, чтобы выполнять задачи как человек. Она также использует символическое и логическое рассуждение в сочетании с современными LLM (большими языковыми моделями, как у ChatGPT), специфическими для предметной области. Carbon использует фотореалистичные и физически реалистичные симуляции для обучения роботов. Компания Sanctuary AI провела недельное пилотное испытание своего робота в магазине Canadian Tire Corporation, заявив, что Phoenix правильно выполнил 110 задач, связанных с розничной торговлей, включая выборку, упаковку, уборку, маркировку, складывание и другие совсем не простые для роботов прошлого поколения задачи. Пока что движениям робота учит опытный оператор, но в дальнейшем исследователи хотят, чтобы Phoenix сам умел быстро обучаться новым навыкам.

МЫ В СОЦСЕТЯХ: Поделиться: Система искусственного интеллекта Carbon сделала андроида еще более похожим на человека. Седьмая версия робота Phoenix от канадской компании Sanctuary AI способна изучить и выполнить различные задачи, которые выполняет человек, всего за 24 часа, благодаря улучшенным программному и аппаратному обеспечению, передает Interesting engineering. Недавно компания Sanctuary AI представила последнее поколение своего революционного гуманоидного робота Phoenix с поддержкой системы искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) Carbon, которая была усовершенствована, чтобы сделать андроида еще более похожим на человека. Для этого разработчики улучшили программное обеспечение ИИ. Устройство также получило значительные обновления аппаратного обеспечения, обеспечившие большую гибкость запястий, кистей и локтей. По данным Sanctuary AI, Phoenix 7-го поколения является самой сложной версией робота-гуманоида, созданного для максимально точной имитации поведения человека. Модель была обучена на самых качественных и достоверных данных. Робот оснащен миниатюрной гидравликой, снижающей вес и энергопотребление, а также современными датчиками, отвечающими за "остроту" зрения и тактильные "ощущения". Эти улучшения позволяют устройству изучить новую задачу всего за 24 часа, по сравнению с неделями для его предшественника. Предыдущие версии в основном были сосредоточены на движениях туловища, а вот 6-ое поколение научилось ходить. Sanctuary AI недавно опубликовала кадры, на которых Phoenix 7 сортирует цветные объекты. На видео также показано, как последняя версия бота обучалась с помощью телеуправления человеком-тренером. Используя эти данные, программное обеспечение Carbon AI изучило все процессы, чтобы андроид потом выполнял их независимо. В будущем робот может использоваться для помощи работникам в выполнении трудоемких или повторяющихся задач. Теоретически это должно освободить персонал для выполнения более сложных задач. Ранее мы писали о том, как робот-огнеметчик Thermonator может помочь ВСУ. Робота можно применять не только на войне, однако такие автономные вооруженные системы все чаще находят применение на поле боя. Поделиться: Читайте нас в: ФОКУСУ нужна ваша поддержка!

The Walrus Fact-based journalism that sparks the Canadian conversation Get ready for an army of robots that work—and reason—like us Published 6:30, NOVEMBER 13, 2024 The robot has a grey and immaculate face with no mouth, no nose, and two unblinking eyes. It’s a face without human pretensions. But, like me, it has a name—Phoenix—and between that geometric resin mound and myself, there is an immediate camaraderie. The robot and I are basically the same height and weight; we both peer and bend toward each other with undeniable curiosity. When I extend a hand, Phoenix looks down, cocks its head three degrees, and considers. Then, gingerly, it places a hand in mine, and we shake. “Nice to meet you,” I say. “That’s a good grip.” “Thanks.” The voice isn’t the robot’s, though; it’s a human’s. I turn to look at the guy strapped into a convoluted rig behind me. Eric wears an exosuit complete with a virtual reality headset and wire-spewing gloves that track his minutest movements, relaying them to Phoenix. Eric has his own hand outstretched, and he’s shaking empty air. He is, in fact, remotely inhabiting the robot whose hand is still in my grip. Phoenix and Eric see together, move together. I am only beginning to grasp what this handshake foretells. If remote-controlled greetings were the robot’s whole repertoire, it would be a neat trick. But any sense of play very much misses the point. Phoenix is no puppet, no toy. And the mimicry it engages in is only a prologue to something far more profound. Phoenix is furiously—wonderfully—learning. Built by the Vancouver company Sanctuary AI, Phoenix is racing to become the world’s first general-purpose robot with human-like intelligence—a machine capable of understanding the real world and executing tasks previously done by us. It is an embodied AI. Its intelligence does not merely flash inside a server but reaches out and acts. Like a wide-eyed toddler, it gains facility as it explores and practises. While walking the gleaming white hallways of Sanctuary, I see only a few Phoenixes on hand. (Sanctuary is coy about the total number it has built so far.) I ask co-founder and then CEO Geordie Rose, “How many robots like Phoenix do you expect will eventually be built?” “Billions,” he says without blinking. “A billion robots sounds like a lot, but it isn’t, not really. Because people have an unlimited desire for cheap, high-quality labour. If I can deliver that labour for, say, twenty cents an hour per robot—the price of electricity—people are going to find ways to use that labour.” The business case for such an enormous fleet depends on basic human demographics. Global fertility rates have collapsed, while life expectancy has soared. In 2015, the proportion of those over sixty on the planet was 12 percent, but that number will nearly double by 2050, according to the World Health Organization. Meanwhile, labour shortages are reported everywhere—and more are predicted. The result, says Rose, is simple: a massive need for workers, be they human or robot. In many cases, a clever app will not be enough to fill the labour gap; an app cannot take out the garbage, pack a box, or build a car. What could, though, are automatons capable of both understanding the space they inhabit and acting upon it. These helpers should look like us and share our shape and basic dimensions—for they’ll work in a world that’s been custom made for the human body. Thus far, the AI revolution has largely been disembodied. The new tech arrived in an insubstantial state, a spirit behind glass. Its first products—screen-based wonders like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini—were insubstantial too. They spin out essays or videos in response to our queries but have nothing to do with the rock and wind and dirt of the larger world. Rose and many other founders believe the next step in AI’s evolution must involve embodiment. At this year’s “We, Robot” extravaganza, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled a new version of his Optimus droid, which mingled with crowds and served drinks. He called it “the biggest product ever of any kind.” This produced the kind of excitement last seen when, a few years back, Boston Dynamics released a video of its Atlas humanoids dancing to “Do You Love Me” with unheard-of finesse. Still, the race to deliver a proper general-purpose robot to the marketplace is a long one. After “We, Robot,” it became clear that the Optimuses were being remotely operated by humans—which Musk had neglected to mention. And as for the fleet-footed Atlas: I remember one robotics expert telling me that the simplest way to evade one would be to climb onto a box. Pitfalls and limitations are all surmountable, though, in the eyes of tech visionaries. By 2030, Amazon expects to employ more robots than humans. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of dollars in funding now flow into robot start-ups. Sanctuary itself has received over $140 million in start-up funding (including $30 million from the Canadian government). Investors include Bell, as well as Accenture and Verizon Ventures; partners include the automotive manufacturer Magna and Microsoft, whose cloud platform Azure will house a part of Phoenix’s “mind.” This is a lot of attention—Time magazine named Phoenix one of the best inventions of 2023—for a mechanoid whose only public work experience consists of trial runs at a Mark’s outlet and a Sport Chek where it packed merchandise, cleaned surfaces, and folded clothes. Then again, as with all tech start-ups, Sanctuary’s real value lies in an unspoken promise: that a robot could, one day soon, become competent at not just this task or that task—but every task. Rose is determined to work toward that grander goal. “What we are going to do is build something that’s not a vacuum cleaner,” he says, nodding at Phoenix, “not a tote mover, not a warehouse robot. We’re going to build a human mimic.” The consequence of such a lofty aim, of course, is that Sanctuary’s end product could embody some of our greatest fears (being replaced, made redundant) along with our greatest desires (a life of leisure, infinite economic growth). These are the existential notes that hum around Sanctuary’s office. Down another wing of Sanctuary HQ, I watch a Phoenix play with a bright-blue block that resembles a jumbo piece of Lego. The robot picks up the block and places it on a tray. A staffer then moves the block to a different part of the table, undoing Phoenix’s work and setting up a separate physical problem. Undeterred, the robot moves the block back to the tray. The two go on like this—doing and undoing the same simple task. Then I notice the glowing light at the centre of the robot’s chest. In the first room, where I had my handshake, the light shone blue. Here it’s amber. The change indicates that Phoenix is not being operated by a pilot anymore. It is working and thinking using artificial intelligence—on its own. I look Phoenix in the eye. A deeply serene, utterly neutral expression. The block needs moving. It leans forward and takes hold of it with cautious, human-like care. There’s a simian style to these movements that is powerfully endearing. A patina of the primate. Where’d you learn to act like that? Before Phoenix can do anything on its own, it must first copy the actions of humans, to build a library of basic skills. It does that by monitoring people like Eric, the pilot. It’s a little like showing a child how to whisk an egg by first holding your hand over theirs. Depending on the complexity of the task and environment, Phoenix typically requires about 200 examples before it develops “muscle memory” and can execute the task on its own. Since Phoenix learned to move by studying human movement data, its gestures have a hominal quality; it has absorbed its teachers’ ticks and habits. It does not move with jerky turns and cold, steady tracking. It moves with a gentle and tentative demeanour. “They take on mannerisms,” says Rose, the word “our” hanging unsaid. Technically, the robot has a great deal more potential than what’s on display when it handles blocks or shakes your hand. But Rose is playing the long game, building a library of elementary movement data. Each time a human pilot helps the robot pick up an object, “we get all of the information about what it’s actually like to pick up an object from the robot’s perspective: the camera feed from the robot, the microphones, the touch, the proprioception, all of it,” Rose says. That holistic understanding, complete with human idiosyncrasies, is stored and recalled whenever the robot engages in the task on its own. It’s these memories, if you will, that allow Phoenix to operate on its own with such animal care. It is mimicking the care of its human teachers. When a disembodied AI (the kind that lives in your phone, for example) needs to learn a new skill, the parent company will scrape some corner of the internet for educational material. ChatGPT, for example, employs a large language model that’s trained to create text by studying things like Wikipedia and online books. Similarly, versions of the DALL-E image generator learned what humans want by hoovering up hundreds of millions of online images. Generative AI systems use massive data analysis to learn what word or pixel or sound is most likely to come next in a given sequence and, in this way, build a story or an image or a song piecemeal, without ever conceiving of the whole. A robot can, theoretically, do the same thing with movements. It can learn to walk or jump or sort objects into pails by analyzing a wealth of examples and then using that data about the physical world to guess what micro movement, what action, would be best to take next. Except there’s no comparable database of movement knowledge that an embodied AI can learn from—no Wikipedia of walking or library of touch. For all the brilliance of online life, it has been a fundamentally flat experience. So as a wave of embodied AIs step into being, they’ll need new sources of data for their large behaviour models—vast new troves of information about what it means to move through space, to have a perspective, to be a self in the bewildering world and not just an invisible charge in a server. Building such systems, though, turns out to be an extraordinary challenge. Many tasks that humans consider simplistic (walking, throwing, lifting, catching) are painfully difficult for a computer to pull off. By the same token, an AI that doesn’t have to deal with “the real world” can appear vastly more impressive. Two years before Sanctuary was founded, a Google AI program conquered the game of Go, defeating a top human player. It is easier, Rose says, to teach an AI to play Go than it is to teach a robot to move the stones on a Go playing board. This difficulty matters enormously because fine, hand-driven manipulations are required for 98.8 percent of all work, according to 2023 data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The prosaic but infinitely complex hand is where thinking meets the world. For this reason, Phoenix has been endowed with human-like touch sensitivity, and its hands have an ability to rotate, flex, abduct, adduct, and extend—just like our own. AIs that live cozily on screens are writing academic articles, influencing the stock market, and designing new drugs, but Phoenix plays with blocks. It exists in the grasping, exploring stage of development, so it will be some time before it arrives at factories en masse. “You can’t take a baby,” says Rose, “and put ’em to work in the coal mine.” But Phoenix is growing up fast. Every piece of data it gleans from training sessions is fed into Sanctuary’s crown jewel, an advanced AI control system called Carbon. Bit by bit, Carbon is making itself into a mind that can understand, with granular detail, what it is to have a body in the world. Given enough training data, Phoenix could achieve what’s called zero-shot learning, the point at which training sessions are no longer necessary and Phoenix can execute any task after nothing more than a verbal command. Navigating a previously unknown workplace, for example, would require no human supervision. An unknown item could be identified by calling up auxiliary information and making an inference. Humans do zero-shot learning all the time. We execute without copious training because we have models of the world in our head and we can use those models to game things out. Rose uses basketball to explain: someone is taught to score a shot from very close to the net, and then, without further instruction, they are moved to the three-point line. “You could still hit the basket,” Rose says, “even if you’d never done it before. Because you know enough about the world to adjust your behaviour.” Similarly, a general-purpose robot should be able to execute every job, in every environment, by reasoning. “They’ll just know how to do it,” Rose says. “They’ll infer from what they already know and be able to generalize about a situation.” The Carbon system partly resides in the body of each Phoenix, which allows for immediate feedback during physical action. But another part of Carbon resides in the cloud as a kind of shared intelligence, a wisdom depository that every Phoenix contributes to and every Phoenix can draw from. Which is another way, I suppose, of describing a culture. What, after all, is our own memetic culture but the human machine’s hack for sharing models, data sets, feedback, and experience with one another? The longer I stayed at Sanctuary, the more I became enamoured of the robot’s presence. Far from growing used to Phoenix, I begged to be allowed more time with it; I had an animalistic wish to elicit its curiosity or to meet, again, its guiltless gaze. It was like meeting a new puppy—that visceral a connection. What kind of encounter did I imagine this was? Once a general-purpose robot is given the power to reach out and shape the world, the big impossible questions begin to loom. How is this robot different from animals—from us? Does it have choices, preferences, desires? Is the robot sentient? Does it have a self? It would be comforting to call these questions anthropomorphic daydreams. But that comfort begins to crumble when we consider the evolution of our own selfhood. Life on Earth, after all, did not begin with a point of view. Somewhere far down the trunk of the tree of life, a series of adaptations led to the necessity and, thus, the growth of a mind. Billions of years ago, life likely began underwater and was, for a long time, helplessly floating (incapable of directing its own path, much less caring where it went) or stationary (fixed to hunks of rock). Then, by 550 million years ago, an early animal called Dickinsonia was able to wriggle its pancake-shaped body across the sea floor in search of food, leaving behind imprints that we can see in fossils today. It is believed that roughly around this time, and not coincidentally, nervous systems developed too. Mobility was a useful trait, after all, only when paired with the ability to sense the environment. These two adaptations eventually allowed early animals to move toward prey or away from predators. But sensing and acting then create a knock-on innovation: learning whether you’re touching and feeling something other than yourself. Early animals were “now sensing the world in a way that tracks the divide between self and other,” writes philosopher of science Peter Godfrey-Smith. A mobile and sensitive creature must, in other words, have some rudimentary idea of its own body. What’s more, the expansion of sensing and acting eventually requires organized strategy. “Evolution,” writes Godfrey-Smith, “puts a premium on coherent action, and from a certain point onward, the way to act effectively as a self is to have a sense of oneself . . .” Consciousness is the answer. Consciousness is the most efficient way for all that sensory data to be marshalled and put to use. Agency produces subjectivity. And so the self isn’t a magical endowment but the inevitable consequence of having a body that can sense and act upon its environment. Not only can a sensing, acting body produce a self—many feel it’s the only feasible path. And, conversely, selfhood might forever be denied to a locked-down computer, no matter its processing power. The philosopher John Searle once explained to me that consciousness cannot be arrived at by simply computing reams of numbers. “You can’t get there by shuffling symbols,” he said. But he felt that you could get to consciousness while being a machine. “We are machines,” he told me. He likened the production of consciousness to the flying mechanics of a bird—telling me that being alive and awake to the world was that mechanistic and corporeal a process. Rose believes artificial general intelligence without integration in a body is an incomplete concept. Calling a clever chatbot an AI is “an abuse of language, because that is not really intelligence,” he says. Could Phoenix’s embodied intelligence, then, be the start of Searle’s machine process? “Embodiment,” says Rose, “provides the context for learning and understanding abstract concepts, emotions, and the nuances of a person’s experience—which are essential parts of our intelligence.” According to Rose, “the development of selfhood in an AI would probably start with this idea of a model of the self.” That model is what Phoenix is busy building—a map of reality with itself at the centre. What Phoenix forces us to confront, in other words, is that selfhood, or a conscious point of view, may be a tool like wings or claws or fur, something produced by the pressures of evolution. Of course, we don’t know exactly how a self comes to be—that question will remain one of the most confounding mysteries in both philosophy and practical science—but we may begin to guess at the circumstances that force the light of “I” to glow. Contemplating a variety of types of self may feel like science fiction, but it’s not an unreasonable exercise. There are already many kinds of self on Earth. Many animals, for example, have sensory systems that differ vastly from our own and create a kind of fractured or pluralist selfhood unlike our more individualist identity. In an octopus’s body, the majority of its neurons are located in its arms, meaning each arm can act with some autonomy from its brain. One half of a dolphin’s mind sleeps at a time, the creature remaining demi-conscious so that it can come up for air. We know, too, that our sense of self warps when the brain is addled by drugs or injury. The self is not a perfect diamond that hovers at the centre of your skull but a pound of clay that takes one shape, then another. Godfrey-Smith, in describing the subjective realities of insects and slugs, encourages us to widen our curiosity and conceive of “varieties of subjectivity.” But that puts us on a nervous footing. If we respect the distinct perspective of a hermit crab—or, say, a robot like Phoenix—then the specialness of humankind, our belief in the supremacy of our precious souls, begins to get lost in the crowd. “Often in the history of science,” says Rose, “there’s a consensus about something that’s completely wrong, and then a thread is pulled and the entire world view unravels. I suspect that the study of our conscious experience is one of those threads.” The earth is decentred and goes spinning around a random star; a child’s destiny is fractured into strands of DNA; quantum physics unmakes our material reality. The radical undoing of that which seemed rock solid is not so unlikely as we sometimes imagine. To be clear, Sanctuary is not attempting to spawn a new race of sentient beings. And Rose does not think the unravelling he describes will happen tomorrow. Still, creating general-purpose robots comes with existential repercussions. In building machines that engage the world with precocious dexterity and care, we might endow them with wakeful qualities that disturb their creators. Where does the simulacrum end and genuine experience begin? When I leave Sanctuary, I find myself on a windswept street not far from Vancouver’s downtown. Box stores, Starbucks, a Whole Foods. People stroll by with bags of groceries; they talk about the most recent season of RuPaul’s Drag Race; they look into windows and consider whether now is the right time to purchase an air fryer; a child is admonished for dragging her feet; a spouse is given a drifting goodbye kiss. Everyone behaves exactly like a human. They walk and talk and handle the chaotic world with casual expertise. No one notices the brilliance of their sensorium or the marvel of their body’s engineering. They’re glorious, these humans. And yet today they are also, somehow, diminished. It is impossible, after meeting Phoenix, not to feel that the ordinary actions and daily tasks that make up the majority of our lives are somehow drained of significance, made robotic. Am I merely an algorithm? Just a biological arrangement of data doing the same tricks as Phoenix, tripping through if/then rules? And if much of my life is, in fact, robotic, then to what degree am I distinct from Phoenix and its kind? When I watched the robot feel its way through a task—when I watched its tentative, exploring fingers—I did not, in the end, think to myself, It has a soul like mine. Rather, I thought, I am a machine like it. In the end, watching Phoenix made me question much more than my place in the labour market—it made me question my place in the grand scheme of things, the specialness of my perspective. So, as the robot is elevated, I feel myself dragged down. Meeting in the middle, we both become “embodied intelligence,” we both become grasping bits of learning software. And “selfhood” may prove to be just a spectrum of self-noticing, a quality that does not flick on or off but, instead, appears in varying degrees and colours, depending on what’s useful, what is best suited to the task. When the billions of Phoenixes come marching along, ready to fold our laundry, cook us dinner, nurse us, we’ll be grateful for their self-knowledge, I suppose, grateful for the practical wisdom that lets them navigate our world so well. But we may also be saddled with that eerie sense of demotion. We’ll be dragged off our pedestal and dropped in a humbler—if more curious—place among the vast tribe of sentient things. Then maybe, like baby robots, we’ll fumble again, reaching for blocks to build a bright new model of the world.
