Transcripts
in this video I want to talk about
robots specifically humanoid robots I
started experimenting with posting some
stuff on Instagram as you can see most
of my videos get a you know a couple
thousand views when I post them on
Instagram however when I posted this
video about the New Boston Dynamics
robot this video went uh a little bit
more viral than the rest of my videos
and then I saw Min Choy over on X post
this thread that did pretty well and it
got me excited to want to go deeper down
the robotics rabbit hole right now at
this point in time robotics is
experiencing a huge boom and the
humanoid form factor for these robots is
also gaining in popularity with all of
the advancements that we're seeing in AI
specifically in generative AI the area
of Robotics is growing by leavs and
Bounds and the engineers that are Behind
These robots are figuring out how to do
things with the robots that nobody's
been able to do before so I want to
start by showing off 10 really really
cool humanoid robots and then we'll talk
a little bit about why we're seeing this
huge boom in humanoid robotics right now
so this is the robot that went viral on
my Instagram and this is the Boston
Dynamics Atlas 01 robot and this one
went viral because of well how it moves
and they really designed this robot to
show off that robots don't need to
follow the same motions that humans need
to follow they can do things that humans
can't do and well this video definitely
grabbed people's attention this was the
original Atlas robot which you've
probably seen some of these videos where
the atlas robot can jump around and do
all sorts of crazy stuff this robot used
a lot of hydraulics the new Atlas 001 is
electric and this original Atlas robot
is now retired one of the more
impressive robots that we've seen
recently is the figure 01 robot this one
is actually super impressive because it
uses open ai's large language model
underneath it to actually communicate
back and forth with the end user who's
talking to the robot if you haven't seen
this demo yet it's pretty cool let's
take a peek can I have something to eat
sure
thing great can you explain why you did
what you just did while you pick up this
trash on it so I gave you the Apple
because it's the only uh edible item I
could provide you with from the
table based on the scene right now where
do you think the dishes in front of you
go next the dishes on the table like
that plate and cup are likely to go into
the drying rack next great can you put
them
there of course
[Music]
now the original video was in real time
going back and forth during the
conversation but I did cut some of the
gaps just to keep the pace of the video
High here now one of the things that
makes figure a really interesting
company is that they've been around for
less than 2 years and they've already
gotten this far with their robots and
even recently made a deal with BMW to
use the figure1 robot inside of one of
their Automotive plants now as I've been
going down this robotics rabbit recently
I wanted to learn a little bit more
about what was going on and I found this
post from Corey Lynch here who's the
head of AI over at figure and well he
also used to work at Google Deep Mind so
he probably knows what he's talking
about in his post on X here he says all
the behaviors are learned they're not
teleoperated this graphic here was
shared and it says when he asked can I
have something to eat it goes from a
speech to text model into the open AI
model and then back out as text to
speech where the robot says sure thing
then it uses the large language model to
decide what the next behavior of the
robot is once it decides the next step
it tells the whole body controller which
then moves and manipulates the robot to
do what it's supposed to do all at the
same time the robot has a vision model
which is looking at the environment
around it and feeding that data back
into the neural network as well as back
into the large language model to help
add additional context to The Prompt
you've probably also seen videos from
Elon Musk sharing his humanoid robot
called the Tesla Optimus here's a video
of the Tesla Optimus walking around the
warehouse here's another video of the
Tesla Optimus actually folding shirts
but we did find out after this video
came out that it wasn't doing it
autonomously it was actually being
helped in fact if you look really
closely in this video let me kind of
scroll back look on the right side down
in the bottom you can actually see the
hands move with the hands of the robot
here's another shot where the hand comes
into frame I'm pretty sure this is
somebody where ing a suit or at least
wearing the gloves and as they're moving
around the robot is following what
they're doing of course the long-term
intention is that these Tesla Optimus
robots are going to be autonomous but
right now they still have humans sort of
assisting them and helping them to learn
the moves we can see here elon's post
important note Optimus cannot yet do
this autonomously but certainly will be
able to do this fully autonomously and
in an arbitrary environment it won't
require a fixed table with box that has
only one shirt another company
developing humanoid robots is a company
called Sanctuary Ai and they have a
robot that they're calling the Phoenix
which in this video here it shows that
it can autonomously do tasks that humans
can do at a similar speed to what humans
could do the tasks
at and here's another video of it doing
human things like putting foam balls
into a cup most of these companies seem
to have pretty similar missions to
create the world first human-like
intelligence in general purpose robots
to help us work more safely efficiently
and sustainably if we look at Tesla's
mission statement on X a general purpose
bipedal humanoid robot capable of
Performing tasks that are unsafe
repetitive or boring they're trying to
build these robots to do the things that
humans either find too unsafe for humans
to do or to do the jobs that really
humans just don't want to do and then we
have a company called agility robotics
who created a robot called digit and
this one's sole purpose is to work in
warehouses like Amazon and here's a
little video clip of these ones walking
around and doing their thing inside of a
warehouse here's a time lapse at 6X
speed of them organizing and doing what
they have to to get products out I guess
and then there's unry who is creating
humanoid robots that run really really
fast and the robots can even be
coordinated to dance together so they're
all in sync as they're dancing which is
pretty cool I mean it's got like a hive
mind kind of thing going on some demos
were showed off where it can jump and it
actually looks like it jumped higher
than the actual human but if you look at
the hands it doesn't quite have the same
sort of caution I guess that the other
ones have it looks like it just kind of
clamps down but it doesn't look like it
moves its fingers delicately like we saw
in the figure and some of the other
robots and then we have the aponic robot
which very similar to the other robots
looks like it's designed to help with
warehouses and Manufacturing and to just
do kind of the manual labor that a lot
of people may not want to do it's also
got the fingers that can move and grip
things individually and do things like
make smoothies for people now I'm not
sure I'm going to pronounce this
correctly but then you have forier
intelligence Robotics and they plan to
make robots to help as a therapist we
can actually see this robot working with
a patient showing the patient what to do
and then I'm assuming it's this is for
like Rehabilitation purposes or
something the patient actually works
with the robot to work through whatever
issue this person seems to be working
through I guess some sort of
Rehabilitation sort of process where the
robot is able to work directly with them
this might even be the future of gym
instructors as well because well it
could lift weights and do yoga poses and
whatnot and get people to follow along
who knows maybe the future of gyms is a
robot that's telling you what exercises
to do and then we have the 1X robot
which is the robot that I would vote
most likely to be a human wearing a
robot looking suit this one actually
appears to have wheels instead of legs
but is designed to autonomously help
with things like closing boxes and
folding shirts and whatnot and then
finally there's a robot from a company
called UB Tech this is a company based
out of China and their robots have
actually already been deployed in some
EV factories very similar to the rest of
the robots it can walk on its own using
its two legs it uses computer vision
models to see the world around it and
could help humans with everyday tasks
like unscrewing a water bottle for them
but in the demo they actually showed it
playing games with people giving
somebody a massage and it can walk on
all types of terrains here's actually
one of those robots from that same
company working in a manufacturing plant
as we can see it can't totally walk on
its own in this manufacturing plant it
looks like it's got some you know
tethers or umbilical cords or whatever
you want to call them but uh these
robots are already being deployed right
now now as I started going down this
Rabbit Hole one question keep popping up
in my mind why do these robots need to
be in a humanoid form factor aren't
there better form factors to put a robot
in it seems like it'd be really hard to
make him walk instead of just putting
him on Wheels and things like that and
as I did the research there was really
three main reasons that kept coming up
to why you would want this humanoid form
factor in robots the biggest reason is
that we live in a world designed for
humans the height of door knobs the way
laundry machines are designed the height
of a sink in your kitchen the handles on
a refrigerator all of these kinds of
things are for a world that humans
operate in so if we want the robots to
take over the work of the humans we kind
of need them to be in this human form
factor because that's what everything
was designed for the other reason is
that in the humanoid form factor you get
a much more natural human interaction so
when a human is interacting with one of
these robots it just feels more natural
to kind of talk to it face to face like
you would with another human and so as
these robots get more and more designed
to be sort of household helpers or
business helpers that you almost treat
like an employee and you ask them to do
things for you it just feels much more
natural to talk to that humanoid form
factor to talk to a face and then the
third reason isn't really that
scientific or anything it's just that
that's sort of the future that we've
been promised in Sci-Fi movies and quite
honestly a lot of these big tech
companies are trying to build the future
that people are kind of expecting
because that's what they've seen in
Sci-Fi movies obviously not the best
reason to build them in the humanid form
especially if there's cheaper more
effective ways to build them but it is
one of the reasons that was given quite
often now the other question is why now
why are we starting to see videos of
humanoid robots all over the place now
more so than any time in history well
the main answer to that is because of AI
because of large language models now
being able to power them and help even
program them now that we have large
language models like the ones that we
have from open Ai and Claud and
companies like that we can now give a
voice to these robots we can now attach
large language models that are
fine-tuned on these robots operations
computer vision models have also grown
by Leaps and Bounds making it easier for
the robots to understand what's in front
of them we've all seen the gp4 demos and
the CLA demos where you can upload an
image and have the AI the large language
model tell you what it sees in the image
well those large language model
capabilities are now available inside of
robots as well Hardware has improved by
Leaps and Bounds recently as well
allowing us to get better processing
power out of smaller and smaller chips
training these robots to be autonomous
has gotten easier companies like Nvidia
have created virtual environments where
the engineers building these robots can
actually train the robots in Virtual
environments before asking the robots to
do them in the real world and as AI
becomes a term that people use on a
daily basis the expectation has kind of
become that this is the future we're
moving towards we're going to have robot
helpers in the future and as that idea
becomes more and more popular and
there's more demand for AI robots
economies of scale kick in and it
becomes less and less expensive to
manufacture these robots now you might
be asking well is there a demand for
these robots well according to Goldman
Sachs in this article here the global
market for humanoid robots could reach
38 billion by
2035 So within the next 10 or 11 years
these robots are expected to be a
massive market now this is all
speculation and it's all theoretical but
according to this article at Goldman
Sachs it's expected that the demand for
humanoid robots can potentially reach
1.1 million to 3.5 million units
globally and as the cost of these robots
go down and as we see more and more of
these big Venture Capital firms invest
in robotics companies it's likely that
we'll see this become more and more
attainable for the common person it will
probably impact businesses a lot more in
the early days but over time it's not
out of the question that more and more
people are going to have robots in their
house to help them with what needs to
done around the house now I do know that
there's a lot of worry about the idea
that these robots might be taking jobs
and I think to some degree that's true I
think it will take jobs however most of
the industries that they are targeting
these robots to work in first are
industries that are underst staffed
there's not enough employees to meet the
demand of the production that these
robots are expected to take over they're
also really focused on hazardous jobs
that are much more dangerous for humans
to do they'd rather put a robot on the
front line to do the dangerous work that
could injure somebody instead of
actually putting a human there so one of
the first priorities is to use these
robots to create more safe manufacturing
conditions as well as to fill in in the
areas where there aren't enough
employees to meet the demand for the
work that needs to be done so this is a
rabbit hole I'm going to go down a lot
more in future videos I love robotics I
want to learn more about them I want to
talk more about them admittedly it's not
something that I know a lot about I did
do quite a bit of research to Deep dive
on this video but I want to keep going
deeper down the rabbit hole and as I do
I'm going to share more videos with you
about what i' learn about robots one
thing is for sure these robots are
getting more and more advanced every
single day the advancements in Ai and
Robotics is driving cost down and
driving demand up they appear to be a
great way to fill roles that humans
either don't want to take on or are very
unsafe for humans to do and quite
honestly I can see a future where
humanoid robots are walking around Among
Us helping us do the things that we
don't want to do so that we could spend
more time doing the things that we all
actually do want to do and in my opinion
that's what's most exciting about just
all of AI in general is that it's
empowering us to spend more time doing
the things we want to be doing and
letting Ai and systems and Automation
and robots do the things that we don't
want want to be doing that's the utopian
view that's the thing that excites me
that's where I see it all going I'm
totally here for it I can't wait to go
even deeper down the rabbit hole make
