„Es ist der Roboter, den wir alle erwartet haben – wie C3PO“: Warum gibt es noch keine Humanoiden in unseren Häusern?

From the article

>Research labs and companies hope to bridge this gap, with a slate of new humanoid robots in development and some starting to hit the market. Boston Dynamics retired its original hydraulic Atlas model in April and revealed a new, electric version that it intends to commercialise in the next few years and will start testing in Hyundai factories next year. Oregon-based Agility Robotics claims its Digit robot is the first humanoid to actually get paid for a job, [moving boxes in a logistics facility](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW9L0CuAu_0). Elon Musk insists that Tesla’s humanoid robot, known as Optimus or Tesla Bot, will start [working in its car factories next year](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/23/elon-musk-tesla-humanoid-robots-optimus).

>But there’s still a long way to go before we see robots operating outside of tightly controlled environments. Advances in AI can only take us so far with the current hardware, says Read – and for many tasks, a robot’s physical capabilities are critical. Generative AI systems can write poetry or make pictures, but they can’t do the dirty and dangerous jobs we most want to automate. For those, you need more than a brain in a box.
