One thing I haven’t understood with BD is why they haven’t thrown tremendous amounts of computing horsepower behind ONE humanoid robot to make it almost human, just to show it’s possible, then to slowly eat away at the costs. Just like has been done with AI and datacenters. BD robots are cool but clearly not at all intelligent so they’ve been stuck in this zombie state for decades now.
I think the newer robots companies actually might try to have humanoid robots powered by massive AI datacenters and make them “intelligent.” That’s the approach at least.
I think youve answered your own question. They, and everyone else making humanoid robots, have almost certainly tried. The fact that they are still having actors control their demos using VR systems tells you how well those tests went.
