Are humanoid robots destined to be helpful companions like R2-D2, unsettling replacements like the Synths from Humans, or something far more complex?
In this episode of Redesigned, we dive deep into the rapidly advancing world of humanoid robotics and artificial intelligence.
We explore the latest advancements from companies like Boston Dynamics, Figure AI, Tesla (Optimus), 1X, and Unitree, moving beyond the hype to see what these robots can actually do.
We tackle the tough questions:
◦Will robots take our jobs, automate industries, and reshape the economy?
◦Can we overcome the eerie 'Uncanny Valley'?
◦What are the ethical implications of AI consciousness and companion/sex robots?
◦How close are we to the futures depicted in sci-fi like Humans, Ex Machina, and Black Mirror?
