00:00Robots do martial arts, play football and now run 100 meters faster than the human world record.
00:06Eat that, Usain Bolt! Is this just marketing or a breakthrough? First, the sprint is an impressive
00:12work of sensors, mechanics and software, but it does not require much autonomous decision making.
00:18Real intelligence starts when the environment gets complicated. So could robots handle the
00:23chaos of our homes? Not quite. In testing environments, robots might succeed in ironing,
00:29folding laundry or doing the dishes, but everyday homes are more complicated. Robots have touch and
00:35force sensors, but they still cannot match the sensitivity of human touch. Workplaces may be
00:40a different story. Factories and warehouses are already testing humanoid robots and because these
00:45robots are built like us, they can use spaces and equipment designed for people. Physical AI could
00:51reshape the way we work, so this is a development worth watching. What do you think?
