An impressive milestone! Probably the best place to start, too, before gradually pushing towards more challenging environments and applications. If this works out, Agility will be in a great position to become the leading US supplier of humanoid robots.
They can't because this useless robot needs thick rubber to walk on, he would slip on the stone floor. A human could do the work 5 times faster but a good start :)
A human can only work part of the day and costs at least 7.25 an hour, with battery hotswaps this thing can work for weeks on end, for the cost of electricity and maintenance. If it being slow is an issue, split the task up and have several of them working in parallel. And remember this is still early days for this-think of how crude and slow this will seem next to a version of this that comes along in 10 years.
The reason it’s hard to hire people is because they don’t pay warehouse people enough, though birthing some of the richest owners in the world. As cool as this technology is. It feels like a knife twisting more and more.
i think the reason is, most of the factories are designed for humans and are already build. So if you build a robot that human, it can work directly in these factories. While it may be slower then if you would build a super specific robot for just this one case, its still cheaper than building a new factory. And also if you change the production and build new stuff, it easy to have an human like robot do the next task. If you have a really specific one, that is then useless as that specific task is no longer required.
last year, Agility Robotics opened a robot factory in Salem, Oregon. It will take some time to ramp up the volume to 10,000 units per year, but that was the intention.
@arduinoguru7233 what do you mean in the way they make it? Could you elaborate? Also the number of companies making humanoids at the moment, there will most definitely be a market. Who the winner will be is still to be determined. My bets are on Tesla's Optimus
Lower than an adult human employee who requests salary, rest days, sleeps at night, have family on we, and ocasionally joins protests. Battery life is not relevant. Just request a twin battery hot swappable. This ensures a hot swap without reboot. Swap is faster than a cigarette pause. Then, 1h autonomy per pack is hugely enough. If the swap takes 3mn, you got 5% downtime per day.

@@Benoit-Pierre In the current version of Digit, the battery is not easily removable. There is a small connector for a charger cable, and the robot is recharged after a few hours of work.
They're indoor robots so why do they need to be battery powered? I know cables might be tangly but they could use a sort of antenna contacting a conductive ceiling at all times pretty much like a bumper car, not everything needs to be wireless today just because we can.
i mean, the less we have to alter the eviroment for them, the better. Wireless robots with a decent battery life is just easier to work with and replace
He's basically saying the opposite of work "work smart, not hard". In order to get to the money now, they will lose out big time when the more adaptable mechatronics come along later on.
Pay me what that robot probably costs to buy and I'll even casually be twice as efficient too. I joke but love to see ai progress. I hope one day work is an optional thing that people can do gor fun and not out of necessity to survive
@@jaiveersingh5538 ideally, but these things will require repairs and maintenance. Meanwhile cheap human labor like myself I made $21k last year working part time but if working more I'd probably be around $30k. The key for robotics to really start to take off is servo motors etc prices have got to come down. A basic desktop robotic arm shouldn't cost more than a vehicle. Even robotic arms very quickly go up to $60k ~$115k really quickly. And one that can walk around I imagine is much more expensive 💀 I'll start getting excited when these things become more affordable to the average household. But it's going to take a while for most companies to replace cheap human labor with slow and expensive robots.
It seemed incredibly slow. Not sure if that's a motor/actuator problem or something else. I guess it might be able to work 24/7 with eventually having models that can take battery swaps, but that was really, really slow movement.
Humans are good at war, but dogs are better. Dogoïd bots already deployed in USA and other countries with militarized versions. Humanoid bots not needed. I wonder if Digit can drive a truck, car, tank, fork lift ...
It wastes of energy/money to use robot in such way, while wheeled automate machines do the same work more efficient and faster, no need to invent a different transferring method after we already have wheels.
I love that Agility is using common sense metrics.
Small step for robot, big step for humanity.

Kudos Agility. Way to go.
Just the operations guy in me, but can the cart drive closer to the conveyor so it doesn't have to walk back and forth 10 feet. Thank you
I bet the union rules don't allow the task to be modified like that. But as long as the robot pays union dues, he's hired !
They can't because this useless robot needs thick rubber to walk on, he would slip on the stone floor. A human could do the work 5 times faster but a good start :)
It's about eliminating humanity not common sense
@@VinnyViralhuman has to go home eat piss shit take days off to bury loved ones and book drs appointments for at least minimum wage.
If humans worked that slow theyd be shown the door

@@dayvancowboi9135Why are you explaining stuff to people who won’t read it. Most of the deniers will become consumers.
So fantastic. Congratulations on an incredible accomplishment. You make it look easy.
It almost seems like it's happy when it puts the tote on the conveyor.
This is sick!

I have a question, why a humanoid robot? Why dont use snother robot in rhis specific case?

So nice with bilingual subtitle

Hell yeah
They should have a model with the lower part having wheels instead of legs. Not all situations needs slow clumsy legs.
One question that matters is what is the cost and battery life?

how long till tney can swap their own batteries over and put the spare one on charge....

Which will become mainstream first: delivery by humanoid, or by drone?

COOL
"It's becoming difficult to hire"
Where's my robot?
Very cool yet why haven't we seen Digit exploring Salem? (main planet in Salem, Oregon) I was in hopes to see one this last summer. :(
Prolly because it's clunky and behind the curve
So how many people were let go and are now jobless, you know real human beings.
These will look like toys in just 5 years
less years
It's more scary than the rest for some reason.
While Elon Musk is talking, Digit is working! 🤟😃
-1 more salary.
I want a digit to mow my grass & wash & wax my motorhome.
!
Seems BS: why the automatic cart does not go closer to the conveyor ?
❤
Warehouse work is pretty complex if the environment isn't built for a robot. Too complex for robots still.
When pollution comes into price of power, humans will become the go to choice for Labor

Do human workers get to work on rubber playground mats in warehouses? Health & Safety gone mad, I tell you!
You are too slow mister robot! Shame on you 😅😅😅 it takes long time for these baby robots to grow 😅😅😅 don’t hype 😅
Once you get paying customers, production goes up, costs go down, more funds for R&D; progress accelerates.
What happens when there are no humans to buy the product?
Be it AI or robotics; I don’t see how taking jobs from humans is a good thing.
... Слава Роботам !!!
This is the day Robots went officially working
When Starship goes to Mars, you guys should definitely send one there to do some heavy duty work and testing.
They can’t even sort out homelessness and the world’s starving millions, but hey here’s a robot.
They must've been using wireless charging by now.
Today 1 or 2 humans replaced. 5 years from now it will be millions.
It's a bit slow.

I'm starting the first Robot Union local #118 to get fair pay and workplace safety for my botty brothers.
hmmm too slow can't you just max dat potentiometer?
Doesn’t look very agile
When will these bots be ready for combat?
Humans are good at war, but dogs are better. Dogoïd bots already deployed in USA and other countries with militarized versions. Humanoid bots not needed.

Ah yes, paying more to pay people less

Man before machine! We will not be replaced!
THE PROBLEM IS WE WILL BE REPLACED. IT IS A MATTER OF TIME AND VERY SHORT TIME.
90% discount and money-back guarantee? And are all damages made by the robot to the client company paid by Agility? 😅
Jobs are for people who have families and roofs to put over their heads by working in labour jobs for money.
