In recent years, advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence have led to the development of humanoid droids designed to assist with various household tasks. These robots, capable of performing functions traditionally associated with human labor, promise to revolutionize the way we manage our homes. Jack Jay from Open Droids highlighted some of the capabilities and potential applications of these innovative machines.Humanoid Droids Assist with Household TasksOne of the standout features of Open Droids' humanoid robots is their design, which often incorporates wheels instead of legs. This design choice is rooted in efficiency; wheels are more adept at navigating flat surfaces, which comprise the majority of environments where labor occurs. While the limitation of stairs is acknowledged, the practical applications of these droids in everyday settings are vast. As Jack Jay noted, for approximately 95% of household tasks, the efficiency of wheels outweighs the need for legged mobility.The capabilities of these robots extend to a variety of household chores. For instance, they can assist with tasks such as loading and unloading dishwashers, making beds, and even doing laundry. While they may not yet be able to scrub dishes, they can effectively handle the logistics of placing items in the dishwasher and unloading them once cleaned. This functionality is a significant step towards automating mundane household chores, allowing individuals to devote their time to more meaningful activities.Various Ways to InteractMoreover, the integration of telepresence technology allows users to interact with the droids remotely, effectively bridging the gap between physical presence and virtual assistance. This means that individuals can control the droids from afar, directing them to perform tasks in their homes while they are elsewhere. As the underlying artificial intelligence continues to evolve, we may see a future where these droids can undertake more complex tasks with greater autonomy.Communication is another critical aspect of Open Droids. Equipped with microphones and speakers, these machines can respond to verbal commands, similar to how one might instruct a human maid. This feature enhances their usability, as users can simply tell the droid what to do, streamlining the process of managing household chores. The conversational capabilities of these droids are expected to improve as advancements in AI continue, potentially leading to a more intuitive interaction experience.Expandable Skills Over TimeIn addition to traditional household tasks, the Open Droids' robots also have the potential to assist in more specialized roles, such as bartending. While they may not yet possess the dexterity to craft intricate cocktails, they can serve drinks and manage simple beverage requests. This capability is indicative of the broader vision for humanoid droids as "minimum viable humans," able to perform a range of functions that simplify daily life.The integration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT into these droids marks a significant leap forward. By leveraging the vast knowledge and conversational abilities of AI, these droids can understand and execute complex instructions. For example, a user could ask the droid to prepare a specific cocktail by simply stating the desired ingredients. This interaction not only demonstrates the potential for droids to handle more sophisticated tasks but also highlights the synergy between robotics and artificial intelligence.Conclusion: A High-Tech Butler for HomeIn conclusion, Open Droids' robots represent a promising frontier in household automation. Their ability to perform a variety of tasks, communicate effectively, and integrate with advanced AI systems positions them as valuable assistants in modern homes. As technology continues to advance, we can expect these droids to become increasingly capable, making them indispensable allies in managing our daily lives. The future of household management may very well be in the hands-or rather, the wheels-of these innovative machines.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Stem cell therapy is a growing field of medical intervention that is being used to enhance longevity and healthspan.  Advancements in research, biotechnology, and regenerative medicine have expanded its potential applications but it also raises both ethical and efficacy concerns. The primary ethical issue comes from the use of human embryos, which some people believe is morally problematic. While many countries regulate or restrict their use, others allow research with oversight. In this interview with Dr. Joy Kong, a stem cell specialist at Chara Health Center in Los Angeles, we explore the practical aspects of treatment as well as the wider considerations surrounding stem cell sources, the long-term effects of therapy, and Dr. Kong's personal journey in regenerative medicine.

Star Trek's opening lines were potent: "Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its mission? To boldly go where no man has gone before!” Whether Star Trek or Star Wars, such films offered tantalising glimpses of another world. But it's actually here now! The WEF & McKinsey predict that the space sector will reach a value of $1.8tn by 2035. That's only 1 decade ahead! Mark is CEO of the world's first listed space tech fund, Seraphim Space, and he discusses this final frontier. He explains what is going on in the world of space and where there is money to be made.   Mark first discusses why Elon Musk has transformed the industry by lowering the price point of launch in such a gargantuan way and why the worlds of public and private are scrambling for a piece of the action. He describes their investment process, how targets are identified, weighed, and capital allocated. He explains why data, digital infrastructure, communications, health and space debris are priorities, with their emphasis on profitable, shorter term opportunities. He discusses why the militaries are disproportionately investing, where he thinks money will be made, and why the Seraphim Investment Trust's discount is a source of continued frustration. ​​The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, World Gold Council, LSEG and IFM Investors.

How can quantum computing move beyond theory and become a practical tool for businesses and researchers? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I explore this question with Michael Gleaves, a UK-based AI and quantum expert at Eviden, the Atos Group business specializing in advanced computing. Eviden has been at the forefront of quantum innovation, launching Qaptiva™, a quantum computing ecosystem designed to integrate real-world applications with classical high-performance computing. The company recently announced its first hosted quantum computer, offering both physical and remote access to organizations looking to experiment and develop quantum-powered solutions. Michael shares insights into the company's partnership with IQM Quantum Computers and how this collaboration is helping to improve qubit stability, enhance optimization models, and make quantum computing more accessible across industries. We discuss real-world use cases where quantum computing is already showing promise, from optimizing logistics and financial modeling to accelerating materials science and chemical simulations. Michael also unpacks the challenges that businesses face in adopting quantum technologies, including the complexities of integrating quantum with existing HPC and AI workflows, translating real-world problems into quantum-compatible formats, and overcoming hardware limitations in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. As quantum computing transitions from research labs to operational environments, how can businesses gain a competitive edge by engaging with these emerging technologies today? Join us for this deep dive into the state of quantum computing, its near-term applications, and what the future holds for industries looking to harness its power.
