I mean, it’s more than just the math. Math can do it on perfectly flat, clear ground in an open area. Trained AI combined carefully with math can do better, but even the most cutting edge walkers have trouble with tangling.
Yeah. Which I’m sure is what they’re officially selling. That’s fair. Long term, walking robots are likely only going to succeed thanks to learning algorithms.
I find it suspicious that this company is touting their AI enhancement while admitting their product can’t be trusted to navigate an apartment alone.
Personally, I would select homes with simple layouts, before conceding to constant monitoring, if I could. But I couldn’t do that if my mix of math and AI was outright bad, and it couldn’t handle it…
To me, this smells like over-promising and hoping new AI algorithms outpace their promises.
And having a remote operator just looks like a lot like a classic mechanical turk scam.
Yeah, that was just a nitpick. Sorry, this looks like a scam otherwise; I should have been clearer about that.
Aside from getting your clients sci-fi rocks off, why would you even go with humanoid legs? Some basic wheel-leg combination that can climb stairs would make way more sense in an indoor context. And that’s not even getting into the non-robot maid ways to automatically water plants and vacuum, which are the two cited tasks it can do.
