Good morning everyone. My name is Gabe. I'm a traveling car salesman. So today, I'm here to sell you the keys to this car, this beautiful vintage PT Cruiser. I mean, look at that faux wood side paneling. I'm told it's got turbo. Look. It's a work of art. Trust me.大家早上好。我叫 Gabe。我是一名四处奔波的汽车推销员。今天，我来是要把这辆车的钥匙卖给你们——这辆漂亮的复古 PT Cruiser。看看这仿木纹的侧板，多特别。我听说它还有涡轮增压。看看吧，这就是一件艺术品。相信我。Now, when I say that I'm selling the keys to this car, I really mean it. I have 5,000 of these keys, and every single last one of them works to that car. You click the key fob once, it unlocks the door, you click it twice, it starts the engine. If you buy any one of these 5,000 keys from me, naturally you get access to the car, but so do 4,999 other people. Whatever happens beyond that is not necessarily my problem. Like I said, I'm just a car salesman.当我说我要卖这辆车的钥匙时，我是认真的。我有 5,000 把这样的钥匙，而且每一把都能打开这辆车。按一次遥控器，它就解锁车门；按两次，它就启动引擎。如果你从我这里买走这 5,000 把钥匙中的任意一把，你当然能开这辆车，但另外 4,999 个人也能开。至于之后会发生什么，那不一定是我的问题。就像我说的，我只是个卖车的。So you're probably wondering at this point, is this real? Is this guy just making this stuff up? Well, it is real. My name is Gabe, and I'm actually the founder of an art collective based in New York City, called Mschf. These are our logos.你们现在大概会想，这是真的吗？这家伙是不是在胡编乱造？其实，这是真的。我叫 Gabe，我实际上是一个艺术团体的创始人，这个团体位于纽约市，名字叫 Mschf。这些是我们的标志。Mischief is a bit of a difficult beast to explain, and I'm not going to even try to describe it. Let me give you a couple examples to help paint that picture or confuse you even further.Mschf（恶作剧）是个很难解释的东西，我甚至不打算尝试去定义它。让我给你几个例子，可能能帮你了解一点，或者让你更加困惑。Handbags. Handbags are really expensive, and incredibly, the smaller they get, the more expensive they become. So a few summers ago, we actually endeavored to make the world's smallest handbag, microscopic, in fact, and somehow it ended up selling at auction for 63,000 dollars, incidentally making it the world's most expensive handbag per volume.手袋。手袋非常昂贵，而且不可思议的是，它们越小，反而越贵。于是几年前的一个夏天，我们真的去尝试制作了世界上最小的手袋——实际上是显微镜下才能看到的大小。结果它竟然在拍卖会上以 63,000 美元成交，顺便也让它成了单位体积价格最贵的手袋。Here's another one. This is nothing like a handbag. You've probably seen those Boston Dynamics Spot dog robots that do TikTok dances with K-pop stars on YouTube. Well, we managed to get one. Instead of making it dance, we strapped a paintball gun to it and we connected it remotely to a website where people could take turns driving it and firing it at an art gallery that we constructed. Boston Dynamics did not like that one very much.再举一个例子。这和手袋完全不同。你们大概见过波士顿动力公司的 Spot 机器人狗吧？在 YouTube 上它们常常和韩流明星一起跳 TikTok 舞。我们设法搞到了一只。但我们没让它跳舞，而是给它绑上一把彩弹枪，然后把它远程连接到一个网站上，让人们轮流操控它，开着它朝我们搭建的艺术画廊射击。波士顿动力公司对这件事可不太高兴。

Voici les titres de la semaine :

Dans cet épisode, l'équipe d'OVNI reçoit Hortense Goulard (Les Échos), fraîchement revenue de quatre ans à San Francisco. Elle raconte le basculement de la tech US du boom NFTs/métavers vers l'IA générative, l'ambiance très transactionnelle de la Valley, et ce que change concrètement le “être sur place” pour l'accès au capital, aux talents et à l'information. On parle choix d'implantation (San Francisco vs Valley vs New York/Boston), rythme de travail avec l'Europe, et réalités très pratiques (coworking, recrutement, salaires).Côté tendances, l'épisode plonge dans la “physical AI” (robots + IA), la défense devenue hype dans la Silicon Valley, et un quantique qui revient en force, tout en abordant souveraineté, semi-conducteurs (CHIPS Act, TSMC), et virages politico-réglementaires (Biden, Lina Khan/FTC, Trump). Hortense partage des conseils pour les fondateurs européens qui visent les US, des cas d'usage industriels (drones, maintenance, sécurité), et des sources à suivre (The Information, Platformer) pour garder une longueur d'avance.[00:00:00]: Introduction[00:01:00]: Retour d'Hortense des États-Unis[00:01:20]: France vs USA: ambiances et constats terrain[00:02:18]: San Francisco post-pandémie: centre-ville et SDF[00:02:47]: Le “bureau” des Echos à SF: coworking[00:03:26]: Salaire et coût de la vie à SF[00:03:38]: France “fin de Startup Nation” vs SF à fond[00:04:40]: Télétravail, retours à SF, Miami et Austin[00:05:37]: Faut-il être à SF pour la deeptech?[00:06:38]: Hubs sectoriels: LA, Denver, New York[00:07:04]: YC, Delaware, Texas, et la maison mère[00:08:01]: Défense: nécessité d'une entité américaine[00:09:22]: Culture du temps: ponctualité et rendez-vous courts[00:10:17]: Networking transactionnel et small talk à SF[00:11:40]: “Les Echos, le WSJ français” pour expliquer[00:12:27]: Vagues: NFTs, argent facile, puis licenciements[00:13:50]: Choc ChatGPT: bascule totale vers l'IA[00:16:58]: Curiosité US vs prudence européenne[00:18:36]: Indépendance éditoriale et sponsoring aux USA[00:20:09]: Mur pub/rédaction: grands médias vs influenceurs[00:20:41]: Washington Post, Bezos et la ligne éditoriale[00:22:48]: Réelle politique, Lina Khan et la FTC[00:23:53]: Entrepreneurs vs VCs; IPOs et M&A gelés[00:24:34]: Pourquoi la tech préfère Trump récemment[00:26:03]: Passage obligé par les USA pour scaler?[00:27:07]: IPO US, taille de marché et clients[00:28:17]: S'implanter: recrutements US et écueils[00:28:59]: New York ou San Francisco?[00:29:25]: Exceptions et hubs: Datadog, biotechs à Boston[00:30:41]: Recruter à SF: forte communauté européenne[00:31:40]: Souveraineté vs intérêt business, le débat[00:32:05]: Décalage horaire: routines et organisation[00:35:30]: Physical AI: robots qui comprennent et agissent[00:36:26]: Vision, action et interactions robotisées[00:36:41]: NVIDIA GTC: démos robots et débuts[00:37:32]: “Cerveau” universel pour robots, cas Boston Dynamics[00:38:12]: Infra IA robotique et présence européenne[00:39:33]: Entraînement virtuel et “Dull, Dirty, Dangerous”[00:42:00]: Le quantique coté, retour en force US[00:42:25]: Communications quantiques et navigation sans GPS[00:44:24]: Early stage: pourquoi préférer San Francisco[00:46:00]: Coliving d'entrepreneurs et scènes locales[00:46:27]: Défense: tabou levé et boom des investissements[00:47:12]: Palantir, milliardaires et réorientation des contrats[00:48:35]: DoD: filiale 100% US et contraintes[00:49:04]: Chips Act, relocalisation et souveraineté US[00:50:23]: TSMC Arizona: clashs culturels et Trump[00:51:05]: Europe et usines de puces, batteries[00:51:23]: OVNI doit-il s'installer à SF?[00:51:36]: Recommandation: s'établir à San Francisco[00:52:14]: Souveraineté vs meilleur produit pour clients[00:53:20]: Cloud, Patriot Act et données sensibles[00:56:46]: Platformer de Casey Newton conseillé[00:57:07]: Magma, tendances et souvenirs NFT[00:58:01]: Conclusion et remerciementsHébergé par Audiomeans.

Ich versteh kein Wort Lange haben Kinofans auf den neuen Christopher Nolan Streifen Oppenheimer hingefiebert. Nun ist er seit Juli in den Kinos, Matze hat ihn sich angesehen. Leider ist in der OV Fassung viel von den OnSet Dialogen nur schwer zu verstehen und überhaupt war ein Teil der Handlung langweilig. Langsam wird's zäh Wenn man Dinge zu lange köchelt können sie auch mal drüber sein. Bei der Eberhofer-Filmreihe Scheint das langsam der Fall zu sein. Während der letzte Teil die Gefahren der Bayerischen Mafia aufzeigte geht es diesmal wieder um einen normalen Mord, aber irgendwie hat Rehragout Rendezvous nicht mehr den Charme von früher. Und das sagt auch die Autorin der Buchvorlage Rita Falk. Die ist so unzufrieden, dass sogar in Frage steht, ob nicht die Produktionsfirma Constantin gewechselt wird. Letzte Fantasie Der 16. Teil der fast 40 jährigen Fantasy JRPG Reihe ist nun raus. Matze ist seit Beginn der 90er ein sehr großer Fan der Reihe und somit musste Teil 16 auch her, der vieles sehr anders macht. Far Cry in vollem, hochwertigen VR Wer hätte gedacht, dass sowas kommt. Der Shooter Far Cry hat nun vollen VR Support dank eines sehr hochwertigen Mods. Entwickelt vom leitender Entwickler von Half-Life 2 VR. Es geht aber wirklich um Far Cry, nicht einen der Nachfolger. Dennoch, scheint einen Blick wert zu sein, wenn man am PC Spielt und das Spiel hat. Das bleibt alles wie es ist Juse Ju geht im Herbst wieder auf Tour und er droppt gerade eine ziemlich coole neue Single. Wir haben „Das bleibt alles so, wie's hier ist“ für Euch. Wir haben einen Deal. Zumindest in Teilen Das einzig sinnvolle Ergebnis ist nun offiziell: Call of Duty bleibt auf der Playstation. Sony hat zugestimmt einen Vertrag mit Microsoft zu schließen, der genau das bestätigt. Über die genaue Dauer ist aber nichts bekannt. Üblich wären hier 10 Jahre (wie mit Nintendo). Anders schaut es offenbar aus bei Spielen von Bethesda. Die könnten in Zukunft exklusiv PC und Xbox sein… Gute SciFi AppleTV+ veröffentlicht nicht mit der Menge einer Gießkanne, aber wenn ein Titel auf den Service kommt, dann ist dieser meist gut. Silo ist die spannende Verfilmung eines Romans in dem Menschen aus nicht bekannten Grund in einem Silo in der Erde leben. Xiaomi präsentiert… einen Hund?? Kennt ihr noch den Roboter-Hund von Sony? Oder den etwas mehr auf Arbeit ausgelegten Spot? Eine Mischung aus beiden ist nun der Xiaomi Cyberdog. Mit 3 kg und einem Preis von rund 1.300€ ist der kleine allerdings leichter und deutlich günstiger als das Gegenstück von Boston Dynamics. Xbox Retro Antstream Arcade ist ein neuer Retro Gaming Streaming Service für Xbox und ermöglicht es Euch in die Welt der guten alten Zeit einzutauchen.

On the show today, Scott Kuindersma, VP of Robotics Research at Boston Dynamics, discusses the development and testing of large behavior models (LBMs) for Atlas, a humanoid robot. The Boston Dynamics team collected 20 hours of teleoperation data to train LBMs, which generalize manipulation tasks. They demonstrated this with Atlas performing bi-manual manipulation tasks, such as picking and placing Spot parts. The process involves data collection, annotation, model training, and evaluation. Kuindersma highlighted the importance of simulation data and human demonstration data. Future plans include testing Atlas in Hyundai facilities and exploring AI-centric results to enhance humanoid manipulation and dynamic behaviors. Boston Dynamics is planning to take Atlas to some Hyundai facilities this year.

This episode features Madi Weiss, Field Application Engineer at Boston Dynamics. She discusses how robotics is transforming logistics and warehouse operations. Boston Dynamics, renowned worldwide for its innovative robots, has transitioned from viral videos to real-world industrial applications. With robots like Spot, Stretch, and the evolving Atlas, the company is delivering practical solutions for inspections, container unloading, and future warehouse automation. Madi shares how these robots operate across various industries, including logistics, manufacturing, and the oil and gas sector. Their conversation highlights the rise of automation for the workforce and Boston Dynamics' vision for the warehouse of the future. Find EPG at IntraLogistex Miami in September!

Our guest on this week's episode is Chris Steiner, senior vice president of product management at Dematic. In the past, automation was often viewed as nice to have. But in these days of customer expectations for speed and shortages of available workers, automation is now a "must have." We often think of automation just being placed into shiny new facilities, but a lot can be done to automate existing legacy facilities. Our guests shares about the benefits of implementations in existing "brownfield" facilities and suggests tips for making them successful. The trucking industry is asking the federal government to accelerate recent efforts to ensure safety on the nation's highways; this is in reaction to a Florida crash involving a freight truck making an illegal U-turn on an interstate. The crash left three people dead. Trucking organizations are asking to suspend states' authority to issue non-domiciled CDLs (commercial driving licenses), which some states provide to non-U.S. citizens or out-of-state applicants under certain circumstances. The driver involved in the deadly crash had this type of CDL.Robotics technology has been developing really quickly in recent years, and it's been finding new applications in logistics. One of the newest areas where this is happening is in humanoid robots, which move around walking on two legs instead of rolling on wheels, and use two arms to grab totes and boxes. This week we saw some news about one of the latest advancements in the area, which is using artificial intelligence to allow them to learn new skills or movements from demonstrations by humans, instead of by following software code.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1126: Today we're joined by Steve Greenfield and talking about Hertz vehicles showing up on Amazon, VinFast's new San Diego dealership kicking off a coast-to-coast franchise push, and how AI is helping Atlas become a surprisingly capable humanoid robot.Hertz has partnered with Amazon to list its used vehicles on the retail giant's platform, giving customers a new way to shop for former rentals online. The move builds on the roughly one-third of Hertz's vehicle sales that already go directly to consumers.Shoppers can now browse and buy Hertz vehicles on Amazon, then pick them up in Dallas, Houston, L.A., or Seattle—with plans to expand to 45 U.S. locations.Retail sales, add $1,000–$1,500 in value per vehicle for Hertz compared to wholesale channels.Hertz is also expanding its “try before you buy” program to 100 cities and enhancing digital sales through platforms like Carvana and Autotrader.“It is really important as well that we get more net out of what we're selling,” said Hertz CEO Gil West.VinFast's U.S. dealership network is taking shape with the grand opening of its first California franchise location in San Diego.The new store, operated by Sunroad Automotive Group, offers sales, service, and test drives of the VF 8 and VF 9 electric SUVs.The automaker plans to replace all 15 of its former company-owned California stores and now operates nearly 30 authorized dealerships across 14 states, with the company “recognizing the distinct advantages of this distribution channel” to maximize business efficiency.California remains a key focus for the brand, which calls the state a “top priority” for EV growth.The new location includes full support for warranty, repair, and maintenance using genuine VinFast parts.“This event marks a pivotal moment in our strategy,” said Mike Nolte, VinFast's U.S. VP of Sales and Marketing.Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute are working to make humanoid robots useful in real life by teaching them complex, adaptable behaviors through massive AI models.Many of us are familiar with Boston Dynamics, but Toyota Research Institute (TRI), a Toyota subsidiary, focuses on human-centered AI innovations in automated driving, energy, and materials to improve the human condition.The Atlas robot is being trained with Large Behavior Models (LBMs) to handle complex, long tasks using proprioception (a robot's internal sense of position and movement), vision, and language prompts.These AI-driven policies allow Atlas to walk, crouch, grasp, and manipulate objects with surprising dexterity—even reacting intelligently when things go wrong.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Fra innovazioni, hype mediatico e regolamentazioni storiche, OpenAI ha lanciato ChatGPT Agent, un assistente digitale capace di eseguire azioni sul web e compiti complessi, ma ancora molto distante dall'essere il maggiordomo digitale infallibile che tanti promettono. Nel frattempo, cresce l'attesa per GPT-5, il nuovo modello che ambisce a unificare le attuali architetture linguistiche tra promesse di prestazioni straordinarie e qualche inevitabile effetto annuncio degno della migliore pubblicità tech.Sul fronte normativo, il 2 agosto entra in vigore in Europa l'AI Act, il primo regolamento dedicato all'AI generativa, mentre la Cina consolida il suo primato tecnologico con oltre il 40% dei modelli AI globali – dimostrando che il gioco non si gioca più solo tra Washington e San Francisco. Intanto, Netflix inaugura l'era dei VFX generati in IA, l'Italia introduce i primi chatbot parlamentari per una burocrazia più “smart”, e Meta e Google rilanciano la sfida sulla qualità e rapidità dei loro modelli multimodali. Sullo sfondo, cresce l'allarme per l'uso criminale dei deepfake e dei sistemi di sintesi vocale sempre più indistinguibili da quelli umani, mentre Tesla e Boston Dynamics portano i robot umanoidi oltre la fantascienza.Assistiami all'ingresso sempre più concreto e diffuso di queste tecnologie nella vita quotidiana, tra passi avanti autentici, qualche promessa gonfiata e nuove sfide etiche da affrontare.

Hail Elon Main weiß noch nicht so genau, ob die das ernst meinen oder ob das Satire gibt, aber anscheinend wurde nun wirklich die “Church of Tesla” gegründet.. Fit bleiben trotz Quarantäne?! Ja, das klappt! Neben diversen Online Angeboten zum Yoga, Fitness und Co Training, gibt es natürlich auch Games. Matze hat sich lange um ein Ring Fit Adventure für die Nintendo Switch bemüht. Ewig ausverkauft, war es dann final doch da. Nach ein paar Session kann er Euch nun ein sagen Top oder Flop! Google News Nein, nicht der Service von Google sondern News von Google. Zwei dinge gibt es da zu erzählen. Zum Einen gibt es eine Transparenzoffensive. Google will in den nächsten Monaten damit anfangen euch zu sagen, wer eine Anzeige geschalten hat. Die Maßnahme soll Missbrauch verhindern bzw. reduzieren. Nicht ganz neu ist das zweite Thema. Google ist ja schon lange ein Vorreiter in Sachen erneuerbare Energien (CO2 Neutral seit 2007), jetzt setzen sie aber noch einen oben drauf und verschieben planbare Aufgaben in den Rechenzentren so, dass sie ausgeführt werden, wenn ausreichend erneuerbare Energie vorhanden ist. Die Reise geht weiter Unser Kosmos ist eine spannende, aufwändig produzierte Dokureihe von National Geographic. In der 2. Staffel geht es um die Erkundung potentieller neuer Welten, aber auch um die Entdeckungen aus unserer Geschichte, welche dazu notwendig waren. Matze hat für Euch reingeschaut. Weiße Schuhe Rapkid, aka Boshi San & Stevie Drums, haben einen Track über Weiße Schuhe gemacht. Was die beiden Münchner hier zu erzählen haben, hört Ihr bei Sag was! Tele-Wuff Ein bisschen spooky ist “Spot”, der Roboterhund von Boston Dynamics ja schon. Wie er da so mechanisch vor sich hin watschelt. Spot ist dabei allerdings kein Spielzeug sondern eine Mobilitätsplattform für die Industrie und momentan wird ja zurecht alles, was geht, auf Corona geworfen. So auch Spot. Der Bekommt einfach ein iPad vorne dran geschnallt und dient dann als Roboter für die Tele-Medizin. Was fehlt der Nintendo Switch…? ….EINE BLUETOOTH FUNKTION! Aus irgendeinem Grund (Lizenzkosten?) hat Nintendos Switch keine drahtlose Audiofunktion. Gott sei Dank kann man diese per USB Anschluss nachrüsten. Funktioniert prima und wollten wir Euch im Podcast vorstellen. Happy Birthday Hubble Das Weltraumteleskop Hubble wurde am 24. April 2020 stattliche 30 Jahre alt. Eigentlich sollte seit 5 Jahren der Nachfolger an seiner Seite stehen, aber bisher kämpft es alleine mit den Weiten des Alls. Hubble, wir danken dir für die neuen Perspektiven, die uns gezeigt hast und all die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse, die wir dank dir erreichen konnten. Statistik laut Wikipedia: 11.600 KG 13,1m lang 4,3m Durchmesser 95,4 Minuten Umlaufzeit ca. 540 km Über der Erde Hilfreich für gut 12.000 wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen (Stand 2015). Legendärer Zweikampf Ford gegen Ferrari in Le Mans, das war ein Zweikampf. Im Hollywood Film mit Matt Damon und Christian Bale wird die spannende Geschichte von damals erzählt. Wieder mal ein Preis bei Apple Nachdem die neue Tastatur für das iPad pro ja unverschämt teuer ist, haben wir noch was teureres gefunden. Wer den neuen MacPro will, muss von Haus aus tief in die Tasche greifen und sich dabei noch Gedanken über ganz neue Optionen machen. Will man statt der Standfüße Edelstahlrollen haben, kosten die 500€ extra. Einzeln gibt es beide Optionen auch zu kaufen. Die Standfüße für 349€, die Rollen für ca. 890€

Episode 036: Architecture, And: RoboticsHow are individuals using their training in architecture to explore diverse career paths?Continuing our on-going series “Architecture, And”, we invite Brian Ringley onto the show to discuss his role as a construction technologist at Boston Dynamics. Brian is part of the team developing Spot, an agile mobile robot that navigates terrain with unprecedented mobility. In this episode we'll learn more about Spot, Boston Dynamics, and how Brian's passion for technology and architecture led him to this innovative company.Guest:Brian Ringley is a construction technologist at Boston Dynamics where he promotes new value-add autonomous capabilities for construction project delivery and works to expand the construction application ecosystem with the Spot SDK. Prior to Boston Dynamics, he was a Senior Construction Automation Researcher at WeWork where he managed the construction robotics research program and contributed to initiatives in design automation, unitized prefabrication, and construction site progress monitoring. He has also taught architecture courses for many years, most recently at Pratt GAUD where he led seminars in computational fabrication and industrial robotic automation for industrialized construction.Show Links:Boston Dynamics Boston Dynamics, 'Do You Love Me?'Meet Spot‘Beyond the Master Builder: How Robots Can Really Transform the Role of the Architect' by Brian Ringley, published in Architect‘Boston Dynamics: Inside the workshop where robots of the future are being built', 60 Minutes

Once the preserve of science fiction, humanoid robotics is now in the realm of reality. From Elon Musk's Optimus to Boston Dynamics, companies are pouring money and time into developing these robots for business and commercial use. We take an in-depth look into this emerging industry with Sean Darby, equity strategist at Mizuho Securities, who compares it to the rise of EVs – what started small quickly gathered steam among consumers. It's shaping up to be a compelling trade for investors, with a basket of humanoid-related stocks in Asia up almost 60% this year, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Darby joins John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva in Hong Kong to discuss what exactly is a humanoid robot, what can it actually do given the current technology, and what challenges lie ahead? And will they simply help us with household chores – or take all our jobs?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“I have a new primary user now…me.”The title character from M3GAN being bratty.When the first trailers for the original M3GAN arrived, nobody quite expected it to be one of the horror movie sensations of recent years. But it sure did! Or, we should say, she sure did. Because like all the best horror movie protagonists who go by their first names alone (Freddy, Jason, you get the picture), M3GAN became a pop culture force all her own.And for all the fun ridiculousness contained in that film (and, presumably, in the sequel, M3GAN 2.0 which is now in theaters), it actually raised some interesting philosophical questions. Of course, here at Does it Fly? we're interested in the actual mechanics of building and designing M3GAN herself, but we also are fascinated by the implications of using a realistic A.I. as a therapeutic device. Maybe M3GAN isn't the most nuanced subject for those conversations, but we dive into them, nonetheless.We also had some of the most fun we've had this year in our final section, putting M3GAN “on trial” for her actions, with our hosts, Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi (prosecution) and Tamara Krinsky, Esq. (ok, not really, but she's a hell of a defense attorney in this case) throw vibes out the window this week, so we'll see you in court!All this and more in the latest episode of Does it Fly? right here…https://youtu.be/nteIYlCFAUISUGGESTED VIEWING If you're reading this, you already saw M3GAN, right? Good. If not, despite its somewhat campy reputation, it really is a fun piece of sci-fi with a horror edge and it absolutely deserved to be the box office hit it was. Just note that we hadn't seen M3GAN 2.0 at the time of recording.While 2004's I, Robot isn't beloved by Asimov purists (see our “further reading” section below), it's better than its reputation suggests and comes from frequently underrated director Alex Proyas, so that's good enough for us if you want a little context for the “three laws of robotics” discussed here.Tamara also brings up Steven Spielberg's Minority Report as a film about a technology that has theoretically good intentions…until it's put into practice and immediately abused. FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Building Your M3GAN (please do not do this)There are three elements of M3GAN that are rooted in science fact but ultimately keep her as science fiction.Fine Motor ControlWe've mentioned the incredible work in humanoid (and canine) robotics being done by Boston Dynamics before, but they don't quite have the dexterity of M3GAN…yet.“Apparent Reasoning”Getting into all of the ins and outs of artificial intelligence and the debates surrounding it is beyond the scope of this show, but even ardent A.I. supporters admit that “true general intelligence” or the ability for machines to actually reason, isn't a thing…yet. Read more here.Power DensityEven assuming these other things were possible, the battery life of M3GAN is beyond the current “power density” of anything out there…for now.Asimov's LawsAs Tamara references, courtesy of Asimov's short story collection, I, Robot…see if you can spot how many of these M3GAN breaks!A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.Kids, Technology, Attention Spans…As Hakeem and Tamara discuss, while technology can be used therapeutically for kids, like anything else, there are potential drawbacks, particularly with attention spans. The Fisher-Price bear hackEven though this happened over a decade ago, it's still a warning light to heed!Hakeem's Favorite AstronautOK, yes, Cady Coleman does seem pretty awesome.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?For other humanoid robot fun with deep and potentially terrifying implications, have you seen our Blade Runner episode?

The world's first humanoid robot half-marathon, with 20 robots running alongside thousands of human participants, was held in Beijing on Saturday, but it was just the starting gun for China's burgeoning robotics industry, according to executives and experts.周六，全球首届人形机器人半程马拉松在北京举行。20个机器人与数千名人类参赛者同场竞技。据业内高管和专家称，这仅仅是中国蓬勃发展的机器人产业的发令枪。The marathon, despite some imperfect performances like an occasional stumble, proved that China's humanoid robots are moving from flashy laboratory demos to real-world scenarios. In the shadow of the United States' recent tariff hikes, China's advances in artificial intelligence and robotics may stand out as a potent counterstrike, they added.尽管比赛表现存在一些瑕疵，例如偶尔摔倒，但这场马拉松证明了中国的人形机器人正在从实验室的炫技走向现实。他们补充道，在美国近期加征关税的阴影下，中国在人工智能和机器人技术领域的进步或许能成为一记强有力的反击。In the 21-kilometer half-marathon, which tested the physical limits of even some human runners, six of the 20 robots managed to finish the race. Tiangong Ultra, standing 1.8 meters tall and weighing 55 kilograms, won the race with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.这场21公里的半程马拉松甚至挑战了一些人类参赛者的身体极限。20个机器人中有6个完成了比赛。身高1.8米、体重55公斤的“天工Ultra”以2小时40分42秒的成绩夺冠。Xiong Youjun, CEO of the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, the developer of Tiangong Ultra, said, "The goal wasn't just to cross the finish line, but to test key technologies through the rigors of a long-distance run, then improve technological breakthroughs, and finally, lay the groundwork for robots to enter factories and daily life services."“天工Ultra”的研发方、北京人形机器人创新中心首席执行官熊友军表示：“我们的目标不仅仅是冲过终点线，而是通过长距离的严酷考验，检验关键技术，进而改进技术突破，最终为机器人进入工厂和日常生活服务领域奠定基础。”Xiong said the robots needed compact, heat-resistant joints, precise motion control and strong core algorithms to finish the race. The half-marathon also tested their stability, reliability, battery life and ability to handle complex terrain like slopes and turns.熊友军表示，要完成比赛，机器人需要紧凑、耐热的关节、精准的运动控制和强大的核心算法。这场半程马拉松也考验了它们的稳定性、可靠性、续航能力以及应对坡道、弯道等复杂地形的能力。Liang Liang, deputy director of the management committee of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, one of the organizers of the race, said: "The robot half-marathon, the world's first such race, marked a new starting gun for the whole industry. It also sparked deeper public discussion around human-machine coexistence, raised awareness and will help accelerate the development of the robotics industry."北京经开区管理委员会副主任梁靓是赛事主办方之一，他表示：“作为全球首个机器人半程马拉松赛事，它标志着整个行业新的起跑线。它还引发了公众对人机共存的更深入讨论，提高了公众的认知，将有助于加速机器人产业的发展。”The event came as China accelerates its push to develop humanoid robots, having labeled them as a "strategic frontier" in 2023, when it also set a target of mass production and domestic supply chain security by 2027.此次活动正值中国加快推进人形机器人研发之际，中国已于2023年将人形机器人列为“战略前沿”，并设定了到2027年实现量产和国内供应链安全的目标。While US companies such as Boston Dynamics and Tesla have dominated headlines with viral demos and futuristic visions, Chinese brands and companies are rapidly catching up—not just in manufacturing but also in mass-producing such robots and making them inexpensive for ordinary people.尽管波士顿动力和特斯拉等美国公司凭借病毒式传播的视频和未来愿景频频登上头条，但中国品牌和企业正在迅速追赶——不仅在制造环节追赶，更在量产和大众可负担层面发力。For instance, Unitree Robotics, another leading robotics company, priced its G1 humanoid robots at 99,000 yuan ($13,560). Such a price sets them apart from Tesla's Optimus, which is expected to cost between $20,000 and $30,000. The company said it is currently preparing for a globally livestreamed humanoid robot boxing match.例如，另一家领先的机器人公司“宇树科技”将其G1人形机器人定价为9.9万元人民币（约合13,560美元）。这样的价格使其与特斯拉的“擎天柱”(Optimus)相差甚远，后者预计售价在2万至3万美元之间。该公司表示，目前正在筹备一场全球直播的人形机器人拳击比赛。According to a recent report by Leaderobot and nine other institutions, China is on track to produce more than 10,000 humanoid robots this year, accounting for more than half of global output and generating 8.24 billion yuan in sales revenue.根据Leaderobot联合其他九家机构最近发布的报告，中国今年有望生产超过1万台人形机器人，占全球产量的一半以上，销售收入达82.4亿元人民币。With costs falling and ecosystems maturing, the humanoid robot industry is poised to leap from pilot projects to large-scale commercialization. This could give the country a new economic growth engine, the report said.随着成本下降和生态系统日趋成熟，人形机器人产业有望从试点项目迈向大规模商业化。报告称，这可能会给中国带来新的经济增长引擎。Signs of commercial traction were emerging in March, when Chinese robotics company UBTech Robotics—a provider of robots to automaker Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co—said that Dongfeng would roll out 20 industrial humanoid robots, with full deployment expected during the first half of this year.商业化信号已在三月初现端倪。当时，中国机器人公司优必选（UBTech Robotics，一家为汽车制造商东风柳州汽车有限公司提供机器人的公司）宣布，东风将推出20台工业人形机器人，预计将于今年上半年全面部署。Xie Shaofeng, chief engineer at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a news conference last week that mainstream humanoid robots in China "are increasingly being deployed in manufacturing scenarios—assisting on auto production lines and supporting smart sorting and logistics".工业和信息化部总工程师谢少锋在上周的新闻发布会上表示，中国主流的人形机器人“正越来越多地应用于制造场景——辅助汽车生产线，并支持智能分拣和物流”。burgeoning/ˈbɜːdʒənɪŋ/adj.迅速发展的；激增的potent counterstrike/ˈpəʊtənt ˈkaʊntəstraɪk/有力的反击commercial traction/kəˈmɜːʃl ˈtrækʃn/商业吸引力；市场牵引力strategic frontier/strəˈtiːdʒɪk frʌnˈtɪə(r)/战略前沿

Worauf es dabei ankommt, wie gut Roboter schon laufen, hüpfen und balancieren und warum sie das überhaupt können sollen – darum geht es dieses Mal bei Doktopus!Material zu dieser FolgeEine Kompilation von Roboter Lauf-Fails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0TaYhjpOfoForschungsprojekt: Roboter “NABiRoS” mit gedrehten Beinen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5UoQsHJskwMehr über dieses Projekt: https://spectrum.ieee.org/nabiros-makes-us-wonder-why-we-all-dont-walk-sidewaysBirdBot: Forschungsprojekt des MPI für Intelligente Systeme in Kalifornien https://youtu.be/wwH40rYJt9g?si=jqKfek-DL2WyQ02jMehr über dieses Projekt: https://www.techtimes.com/articles/273986/20220407/robots-walk-two-legs-better-theyre-based-birds-humans-researchers.htm“Digit” von Agility Robotics: https://youtu.be/Xq_-OTQgzf0?si=TMV9zuEVDAxPx-7v“Atlas” von Boston Dynamics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1_QhJ1EhQSocial Media und KontaktmöglichkeitenInstagram: http://instagram.com/doktopuspodcast/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@doktopuspodcastE-Mail: doktopuspodcast@gmail.com Credits Recherche, Hosting & Produktion: Dora Dzvonyar & Dominic Anders Sound-Design & Post Production: Julian Dlugosch Ansager: Marcel Gust KI-Songs: Suno KI-Visuals: Bing Image Creator Intro-Musik: Oleggio Kyrylkoww from Pixabay Intermezzo-Transition: MAXOU-YT from Pixabay

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the future of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qaQuestions include: What, exactly, is an "AI agent"? "Agentic"? It seems like nobody knows what those words actually mean today. - Can you tell us about the future of media/information consumption? Will we become a society of "AI summaries" as our main form of information gathering? - Before AI summaries, there were encyclopedias and textbooks and CliffsNotes and such, and while they were useful and convenient, they never became de facto. - When will we get the first AI/robot news reporter? I see these being useful in cases of dangerous live broadcasting like hurricanes, to keep people up to date. - How far are we from LLMs generating a Stephen Wolfram–style long-form post, with similar elucidations, based on a short prompt of the key insight or topic? - When you say the teaching is delegated to the machine, are you saying that the machine is telling the student what to think about instead of just answering questions? - Can a sentient AI "understand" how humans learn? If we would delegate to them the teaching of human kids, would that be compatible with a biological point of view? - Have you ever considered entering the robotics space? A Wolfram Robotics, so to speak? - But if people delegate all calculations to the machines, then might it not happen that the machine actually learns to ask better questions than the humans can, since the machines have the experience built from the calculations and the humans don't? - What will AI not be able to do? Do you believe that something like that exists? - Tiny humans care about those questions about clouds and trees. - Robotic trade shows sound interesting. The company Boston Dynamics shows a lot of progress in the humanoid department. - Anything to say about the future of pi? (Happy Pi Day!) - ​​Do you expect LLM development to hit significant diminishing returns within the next 2–3 years? - Automated theorem proving is so interesting. I'm trying to figure out how to make a theorem prover that demonstrably collapses a/the wavefunction. Like Stephen said; quantum LLMs.

Those are the driverless cars that originated in San Francisco. As I realized this meant that Uber and Lyft drivers could eventually get replaced by robocars, it made me wonder:What other jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots or CGI?Then the fear donned on me: influencers. We could potentially see a world in the next 10-15 years where our comfort creators are not actual humans but rather made up of Sim-like avatars. These “generated influencers”, as I am calling it, have no racist Tweets to be unearthed, they won't call out for sick days or face creative burn out. But most importantly, they won't ask for any money.We already saw the rise of CGI-creators the last 10-years with influencers like Lil Miquela growing to 2.5 million followers on IG. Spotify Wrapped launched an AI podcast episode that recaps listeners music habits through out the past year.

Their robots, such as the quadruped Spot and the humanoid Atlas, have applications in industries ranging from logistics to public safety. They also garner widespread attention with their impressive videos showcasing robots performing The post Boston Dynamics with Matt Malchano appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

At Tesla's robotaxi reveal event last week, several Optimus humanoid robots mingled with guests, pouring drinks and cracking jokes. Impressive technology, but the vocals and some of the gesticulations appear to have been remotely controlled by humans, something Tesla did not disclose. Today on Equity, Rebecca Bellan chatted with TechCrunch's hardware editor Brian Heater about Tesla's Optimus bots, the market opportunity for humanoid robots, and other companies that are leading the charge in this industry. We'll dive into:A CBInsights report which found that funding in 2024 already reached new highs for humanoid robots and PitchBook data that suggests funding into humanoid robot companies has reached close to $1 billion as of October. Where we're most likely to see humanoid robot applications in the coming years. Automakers like BMW plan to deploy startup Figure's robots at their plants, and Amazon, which has been a huge proponent of robotics for over a decade now, has tested Agility's digit robot at its warehouses. When we could see  humanoid robots enter homes. Some companies plan to have their robots help older folks with household tasks like Kind Humanoid. Equity will be back on Friday with our weekly news roundup, so we'll talk to you then!Equity is TechCrunch's flagship podcast, produced by Theresa Loconsolo, and posts every Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
