watched boston dynamics’ new atlas for a few mins today. human evolution took about 2m yrs from homo habilis to now and it’s still an ongoing process. meanwhile these robots basically started a few yrs ago and are already pulling off incredible hand movements and hands are the hardest part. replicating hands means solving high dof control tactile sensing real time feedback loops and motor precision all at once. kinda wild to think where they’ll be in 20/30 yrs with ai accelerating exponentially.
