Interesting post with a great list. Also the poster tweets pics of all the different bots.

We should really hold a yearly Humanoid Bot Cage match to keep up with the progress on different bots.

(Robot Wars 2.0 ? But more exciting than robo-lawnmowers trying to flip each other over)

Tesla is getting some serious Optimus competition from nVidia. The robotics part of their presentation starts here, but it's a bit long.

The relevant section and some discussion here:

Humanoid robots as a topic is just like AI before it. Every tech company wants to do it. Most will fail. Some will succeed.

Interesting, maybe they should keep things simple this time. Perhaps a robodog with a iPad for a head.

So the one that was supposed to pick up the sweater tried to hand it on the peg in the meeting room but obviously missed and just dropped it on the floor. Then just stood there for like 30 seconds until the gal asked to have the cup picked up.

And the one wiping up the puddle of soy sauce or whatever on the table just left the towel on the table and rolled away.

Did anyone actually watch what happened in that video before uploading it?
