This is the year that everybody started taking humanoid robots seriously. This was the year that we had commercial deployments. -
Once we start to see that many people attacking a problem, I think that that is great because there are problems in the deployment of humanoids that still need to be solved. But we're starting to see a lot of very, very smart people attacking those problems. - Andra Keay
Andra has her finger on the pulse of the robotics industry.
Not that long ago, when we discussed purpose built (Roomba) vs more general purpose (1X Humanoids), the general purpose was way behind in the rear view mirror. Not any more. Advances in training method with LLMs and similar robot-focused derivatives, and the relentless drive toward asymptotically zero cost compute, store, networking, sensors, etc., have moved Humanoid robotic development forward in a major way.
Great to catch up with Andra at the Humanoids Summit 2024 in Mountain View.
v2 is coming to London this May.
Who else is going?
