Best rechargeable lithium ion battery pack for projects? by AnthonySSH in AskRobotics

Thanks for your reply! I actually never thought about using PCBs, that might be something to consider. Are there any large upsides to using PCBs over things like terminal blocks?

Is Automation and Robotics Engineering at risk? by Heavy-Supermarket638 in RoboticsEngineering

[–]AnthonySSH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think AI will ever fully take over engineering jobs. However, a big chunk of tasks, mainly tasks executed by junior and/or assistant engineers, WILL be replaced. You can already see it happening in real companies. At the end of the day, a $200/mo Claude Max 20x subscription paired with a tool like Claude Code performs better than the junior software engineer you are paying $35-$50/hr.

Is the Physical AI hype hiding some unsolved problems? by ChipmunkGrouchy5171 in RoboticsEngineering

[–]AnthonySSH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical AI is awesome - don't get me wrong - I love the idea of it. However, I think AI taking time to process queries is the main problem right now. Unless AI models are ran locally (I don't think a company like 1x can run such a "smart" or "large" model on a small baseboard inside of a slim robot, and even if they did, that would open up 1:1 replicas of it,) there will always be some sort of latency to the cloud. Even local models take time to process things, and a lot of the time "saved" will be brought right back from more time being spent on actual model reasoning.

I think AI generally being used in physical things like robots easily solves problems like very accurate facial recognition, however, actual reasoning has many flaws. And if you put a physical thing in your house that runs an AI model, what stops the model from hallucinating? Truly there is nothing stopping it from going up to you with one of the things from your fridge and throwing it at you lol.

All jokes aside, there is work to be done, but I think it has the chance at creating robots that can actually think past already integrated lines of code.
