Unveiling Menteebot the AI-Powered Humanoid Robots to be Released Next Year: What Could Possibly Go Wrong? A promising startup Mentee Robotics has recently unveiled its groundbreaking humanoid robot called Menteebot. While still in the prototype stage, the robot has made significant progress, with a planned public debut after two years of development. The humanoid is a result of various technologies, including computer vision, large languagel models (LLMs), advanced simulators, and methods for transferring knowledge from simulation to the real world. The general-purpose bipedal robot is capable of moving like a human and posseses the ability to perform household tasks and learn through imitation. What could possibly go wrong with relying on LLMs that are known to make mistakes? The founding team has helped the company raise a significant amount of funding, demonstrating the confidence investors have in their vision. However, it's important to remember that premature release of advanced technologies can lead to unintended consequences. The company is aiming to serve both the industrial and home markets, despite the fact that most humanoid robot makers consider the home market to be a distant goal. Warehouses and factories are typically the first targets due to the need for additional labor, deeper pockets, and more structured environments. Let's not forget the potential risks associated with deploying AI-powered robots in public spaces without proper regulation and oversight. We have already witnessed the consequences of rushing self-driving cars to market, with accidents resulting in human injuries and a erosion of trust in AI. It is crucial that we learn from these mistakes and proceed with caution when it comes to releasing humanoid robots for home use. #HumanoidRobots #EmergingTechRisks  #InnovationRisks #RobotSafety #AIRegulation #ResponsibleAI #TechEthics #PublicTrust

_"You want to change the world, you have to make a little noise." - Robot & Frank_ We had some fun experimenting with our quadruped robot, Alpha, and taught it to do push-ups! 🐾🤖 It was a small yet exciting achievement for our team at ShatterDome. Watching Alpha in action brought smiles and reminded us why we love working in robotics. Our mission at ShatterDome has always been about making robotics accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We’re constantly exploring new ways to enhance Alpha's capabilities and share our progress with you all. Stay tuned for more fun updates and join us on this journey to make robotics a part of everyday life. #Robotics #AI #InverseKinematics #Innovation #TechStartups #Physics #FutureOfRobotics #FunWithRobots #PushUps #Actuators #Servo #Motors

Let's dive into the realm of AI and Robotics. It's a topic that fills me with both excitement and apprehension. Like with any emerging technology, there's a period of chaos and transition, accompanied by a wave of fear within humanity. But ultimately, we adapt and embrace the change. We're hurtling towards this chaos at breakneck speed. The future of work will undergo a seismic shift, and the landscape of education will be forever altered with the integration of AI and robotics. In the coming years, the labor force will be transformed as robots begin to take on roles that were traditionally filled by humans. Forget immigrants – it's robots who will be stepping into those lower-skill jobs that few desire. While this advancement may seem thrilling from a consumer standpoint, there's a sobering reality to consider. As someone who values the well-being of others, I can't help but fear the potential displacement and disorientation that many individuals may face. We've seen similar scenarios play out in regions like Kentucky and West Virginia, where the decline of the coal mining industry left communities grappling with addiction and a sense of aimlessness. I had firsthand experience witnessing this during a tour with the American Heart Association, where we sought to educate locals on the importance of self-care. Could we witness a similar phenomenon unfold across the nation in the next 5-10 years? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this matter.

Israel is and continue to be a global leader in #innovation and #technology. "Robotics could be 'the next wave of #AI,' or at least that is the recent projection given by Jensen Huang , the CEO of NVIDIA . He spoke at a conference in Taiwan about the next frontier of AI and specifically mentioned humanoid robots and self-driving cars." "Israel is a hub for robotics tech companies, with 170 companies pioneering the development of robots in diverse sector" according to Startup Nation Central. As mapped by its Startup Nation Finder, "the sector distribution shows that 33% of the Robotics companies address Industrial Technologies. 23% of robotics companies work in Agrifood Tech. Health Tech represents 19% of the companies; Aerospace and Defense – 9%." * Thanks to Guy B. for his post about this in Italian. #startups

We're pleased to see our COO Steve Maclaren featured in The Herald Scotland today. In it he makes strong correlations between Bill Gates’ recent blog post enthusing an ‘almost limitless’ future with robots, and a broader need for the UK to invest in more robotics research and development. Steve says: “Surely, when a man like Bill Gates says robotics is the future, we should pay attention.   “The challenge is that robotics research and development is expensive. This is where the government and investment community must do more. Start-ups require lots of support and investment just to survive the early years and I fear the UK being left behind if we don’t back these businesses.”   Steve goes on to talk about scaling up businesses, driving investment and tackling global markets. He also identifies the great work being done here in the UK at world class facilities like the National Robotarium to progress the development and research in the quest to build a new Robotics Revolution. https://lnkd.in/eSGqMdfG   #robots #ArtificialIntelligence #science #innovation #HelpingIndustry #HelpingPeople #HeriotWattUniversity #RoboticsRevolution Heriot-Watt University Data-Driven Innovation Initiative
