I believe the next big thing after AI is robotics.

If there an OpenAI of robotics?

Why is modern robotics still so far behind after all these years?

>>105670119
Well, is it?

We have amazing robot tech (DARPA) but it'll never be cheap enough to mass manufacture.

China will probably win here, sadly.

the thing that was holding back deep learning until its boom a few years ago was the activation functions weren't invented yet, now that they are anyone braindead can just call a pytorch function. robotics is hard and involves a lot of maths and physical design, even if there is some sort of breakthrough there won't be a boom like there was with neural nets because not every retard can make a robot

The next big thing may be neuralink. Literally the first patient on the test version was able to control a mouse by trying to move his hand (paralyzed) and the software picked it up and learnt it. However he progressed to being able to think about moving the mouse, which is closer and closer to functioning like a body part. You can plug stuff into the brain and the brain can adapt it as part of your body effectively if you have a feedback system to it. Think of people who've never seen in their life before, literally blind, the few who were able to have medical intervention had to "learn" to see because it was just overwhelming stimulation they couldn't make sense of, and many still can't recognize peoples faces. There is machine learning with neuralink but its embedded in either the external hardware or software not in the neuralink itself. The brain can form pathways to integrate with it in useful ways for the tasks being done with it. It can even transfer signals between a severed spinal cord from one side to the other. Shits literally pre-cyberpunk.

Machine learning is exceptionally powerful when combined with hardware and the human mind.

If you're talking an adtificial life form type of robot, I suppose you'd need an equivalent to an entire nervous system to give proper feedback from their 'body' for it to integrate well. Which is a serious engineering hurdle.

neuralink is legit the best thing yet. i will buy one when becomes publicly available.

You know how Netflix came out and everyone was excited and paid for ad free streaming and switched to that, then advertisers had a tantrum and got forced ads into paid Netflix? Advertisers follow people like vermin rats with a keen sense of smell where ever they go, where ever attention is paid advertisers must weasel their way into it and come crawling out of tunnels all over the place, worried about that. Also I'm guessing it might end up highly cucked due to government regulations what you're allowed to do with it and it'll hit with a cripplehammer. But it would be really sweet. Especially since it's a wireless protocol, you could really make it DIY interface with anything with the right development toolset.

Also this version is output only, a neuralink that sends signals back into the brain would be next level potential on top of that

The west fell for the Silicon Valley "line always go up" grift and we have two entire generations of useless software developers and "investors" that wasted trillions on Uber, Netflix and OnlyFans instead of actually producing things.

Robotics won't take off any time soon because there's not enough talent or resources for it.

>>105670451
>every retard can make a robot
the next big breakthrough will fix that.

Robotics is inevitable.

>>105670488
I don't think so. No one wants to go to surgery every two years to get their implants updated. We need 100 years for surgery to get there.

>Robotics won't take off any time soon because there's not enough talent or resources for it.
AI was the same and is still the same.

>>105670167
I wish I looked like that

>>105670771
unless it becomes lego with no maths and programming required, not needing to even know what a PCB is, no it won't

>You need a degree to walk to open Amazon and order shit
Do niggers really think like this? Robots just need to cost as much as a car.

>>105670799
Nigger, OpenAI alone is burning millions of dollars daily to keep ChatGPT running.

The tricky part is the barrier of entry. I can open my laptop and start building an LLM integrated web app any time I want. I can't do the same with robotics. With software you just download the libraries and frameworks, with hardware it takes time to study and understand which components you need, how to actually do what you want, then you have to wait until it comes to your house, then there's the chance you will fuck things up and need replacements... It's unfeasible to most people

Just a reminder. Some of you fucking retards will actually believe this is a real robot doing this (its a man and the robot is a edit overlay). Just in case your bitch ass believe this lol

I believe humanoid robotics will need to come up with energy efficient artificial muscles fibers to make humanoid robots be able to interact with humans without endangering them because of all the moving masses of metal.
The robots will use more plastic or graphene components.

The robots will be built not in the image of man, but structurally as a man.
If your going to make an artificial human, then why not copy the original design?

Robotics won't take off because the collective west won't ever get it head out of its ass and build things that are physical.
Too busy making LLM slop or at best making prototypes that will never see mass production.

To actually build robots enmass means building a factory and there is nothing the west hates more than industrialization and employing people willing to be blue collar.

Also this. Our culture glorifies working on a desk way too much

>>105672333
Same shit was said about AI. It's not about the average man building shit, it's about easy access to shit. Why hoover, mow the lawn or clean the car when Jeffrey the butchers bot can do it for you?

Heck it doesn't even need to be humanoid you can have dedicated minibots for everything. All connected through IoT shit.

It's already happening.

The next big thing after AI is not robotics, but AR glasses that will project holograms of robots/NPCs that will assist you without being physically there. From your perspective they will look like they are physically present and the assistans will see what you see and they will be able to guide you through shit, but you'll still do the physical work yourself.

AR glasses + AR hologram assistans will have a much bigger impact than people think. Every incel can have his personal Joi from Blade Runner 2049, except it won't be used only for wanking but for literally everything that you use current AIs for + much more due to the integration with the physical world. You will be able to fix your car while a 10/10 busty bimbo with 200IQ is guiding you through every step because she can see what you see and has access to all the knowledge of humanity in real time.

>>105675364
The Zuck tried that shit and it failed.

the future is hybrid robot humans, like humans with wheels n shit

>>105671109
You guys are talking past each other because one of you is talking about designing robots and the other one is talking about using them for things.

>>105670119
because robotics doesnt need that mathematician guy it needs a steve jobs.

>>105675581
he didn't fail. It just costs too much now. Project Orion cost them like $10k per prototype and if they were to sell that they would probably have to charge $15k to be profitable. These won't go mainstream until they manage to reduce the cost to $1000 or under and not look retarded on your face.

Also in a way we are alredy there in the sense that we have glasses with cameras and AI assistants that can see what you see. We don't have the technology to project a hologram of an assistant though and that's the expensive part. Also Meta's AI is kinda shit and it's integrated poorly on the Meta Ray Bans. We need someone non-retarded to slap Grok, Gemini 2.5 or ChatGPT on top of some glasses and we're good to go.

I already use AI assistants with live video feed on my phone to diagnose and repair issues on my family members shitbox cars. Having that same capability inside glasses (while keeping my hands free) will be a big deal.
