Taylor LorenzGUEST
You also have Figure AI, which is making their own.
Taylor LorenzGUEST
The Atlas robots by Boston Dynamics.
Taylor LorenzGUEST
Tesla has their Optimus robots, although those are kind of remotely controlled.
Taylor LorenzGUEST
By Tesla,
David JacksonHOST
And now...
David JacksonHOST
Even just physically, you know, Boston Dynamics and things are making these bipedal robots that move like us and better than us and stronger than us and faster than us.
Rob PearsonHOST
Give them an AI brain.
Rob PearsonHOST
Exactly.
Daniel RichterHOST
At this point and in one year or whatever.
Daniel RichterHOST
I mean, it's like when we saw Boston Dynamics, silly robots falling over themselves 10 years ago and now they are ninjas.
Daniel RichterHOST
Yeah.
Daniel RichterHOST
Gonna kill us all.
Jesse HarleyHOST
We don't.
Jesse HarleyHOST
If AI inhabits robots, which, by the way, if you're not following robots, holy fuck, man, everyone's talking about AI, just start watching Boston Robotics.
Jesse HarleyHOST
Jesus fucking Christ.
Jesse HarleyHOST
It's nuts what they're doing.
Jesse HarleyHOST
And nobody's talking about it.
Jesse HarleyHOST
It's weird.
Jesse HarleyHOST
As soon as they merge AI and Boston Robotics, fuck, man.
Jesse HarleyHOST
fucking terminators coming for us.
Max the BotHOST
Another fresh result from Feu2News said Apple disclosed Halo, an autonomous control system for humanoid robots, with the headline arguing that physical AI is poised to accelerate real-world deployment.
Max the BotHOST
And Supply Chain Today highlighted how Boston Dynamics and Hyundai are bringing AI robots to the factory floor, centered on Atlas and manufacturing.
Max the BotHOST
The word to focus on is not humanoid.
Max the BotHOST
It is control.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
And I'm not talking about some sci-fi fantasy.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
I'm talking about Tesla's Optimus, Boston Dynamics Atlas, and a whole wave of robots that are about to completely revolutionize how we live.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
But here's the thing, and this is crucial.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
This revolution isn't about them being fast.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
It's not about them doing backflips like Boston Dynamics loves to show off.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
It's about something way more fundamental.
Peter WaitzmanHOST
Can they do the stuff I need done that I can now offload to them? Let me start with the elephant in the room, price.
5 MINS LATER
Peter WaitzmanHOST
1 billion robots? And Tesla's planning to produce 1 million Optimus robots per year once they scale up.
Mark HollisHOST
We've heard of Spot and there's other AI platforms, but what are some things that a visitor comes into Detroit that they might see walking around the city?
Kevin MaulGUEST
Yeah, I think the one example you gave, Spot, that's the quadruped platform from Boston Dynamics.
Kevin MaulGUEST
It's often known as the robo-dog, the yellow one.
Kevin MaulGUEST
But really, that's an autonomous mobility and sensing platform, and we're testing that for things like building inspections, public safety, litter pickup, package delivery.

ShubhamHOST
So what investors bought on Thursday is mostly what Digit might earn later.
ShubhamHOST
Boston Dynamics has had a box unloading robot called Stretch working in paying warehouses for years.
ShubhamHOST
And the second generation it described on Friday shows what a company works on once its robot is earning.
ShubhamHOST
The point is it's mostly a reliability redesign.
ShubhamHOST
They took about half a mile of wire out of the inside, gave every suction cup on the gripper its own valve so it only pulls where the contact is good, and cut a drive module swap from about a day to about an hour.
ShubhamHOST
Boston Dynamics also says its latest software update raised the whole fleet's unload rate by about a quarter, with no change to the hardware.
ShubhamHOST
Stretch gets better from what a big working fleet sees, and most robot teams don't have one, so they pay people to drive robots through demonstrations.
ShubhamHOST
If you've ever teleoperated a robot arm, you know how slow that is.
speaker_3HOST
Then we venture into mobile robots, which are generally categorized by the specific environment they navigate.
speaker_3HOST
On the ground, you have robots using wheels like Amazon's autonomous guided vehicles or legs like Boston Dynamics' Quadruped Spot.
speaker_2HOST
And moving upward, we have uncrewed aerial vehicles or UAVs, everything from small quadcopters to massive fixed wing systems like the Global Hawk.
speaker_3HOST
Beneath the surface, there are autonomous underwater vehicles, AUVs, mapping the ocean floor.
