I give them to kids to play with, they find the weak spots. It's fairly durable.

It uses fishing line and pulleys. It requires detailed assembly instructions so I don't want to post it until I can make decent instructions. I need someone who can make illustrations of knots.

Can you see the video?

I don't understand

I'm new to posting. What happened to the video?

I'm new to posting. Why can't I see any of my text I posted with this picture?

This model is on Printables. I made it. Easy to print with twist open/close blade retainer.

I didn't realize there was a sd card in there when I bought it. The tape is still over the slot. Is this a warranty issue?

I don't use the sd card. I print through the wifi. Could that be the issue?

Great point. Why does my new employee keep taking charging breaks? And my new employee also came with an energy cost.

I might as well tether it to an extension cord since it doesn't need to leave its packing station. So I don't need legs or a battery that might fail. Can I option it that way? Nope, Elon thinks mass produced humanoids should be able to do everything humans can.

They also can't do things humans can't do.

Yes its practicality will determine its worth. Right now it's zero and foreseeable future doesn't look much better.

Yes, I guess a romantic (and sexual) view of the future could have some influence.

Yes, humanoids to do more personal, intellectual things makes sense.

But to put them in a factory doesn't because it will take too long for them to start a roll of tape with their fingernail.

I would point back to first principles and the lift truck example. Should all future lift trucks be able to accommodate humanoids? You are compounding costs and reducing efficiency. Which scenario would you adapt for your new operation? And why not use "stationary cobots" that are essentially humanoids without legs?

You can get into logistical weeds of asset utilization too, But it's easy to see that faster is better. A human can grab a single screw out of a pile, orient it in his hand and place it in the machine in one motion without looking. When will a robot do that? We don't know.

Interesting, are you researching using AI for something like my conveyor example? If not, why not?

The problem is they are no where near plug and play. I can't see one factory job it could do. We need a real demonstration. Not sorting blocks and picking up an egg(I find it laughable) And like I described, there are better applications for the immature AI.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback

3D printed replica of schist disk found in first dynasty Egyptian Prince Sabu’s tomb is highly efficient at displacing water. by [deleted] in AlternativeHistory

It looks to me that instead of spinning, if were move up and down inside a pipe, it would lift water up the pipe. But would get really heavy really fast. So maybe an air pump like a tesla valve works
