Trump is dreaming of 1950 when Americans worked in factories. He needs to look at what humanoids are doing in China.

  1. Could someone please explain to me the advantage of a bipedal robot within a factory? All factory floors that I’ve seen are flat – wouldn’t wheels be more efficient?

  2. Holy slow Batman!!!!

    Cute, but not a great demonstration of the current state-of-the-art in automation.

    Nonetheless, anyone who thinks they are getting a low-skill manufacturing jobs of the 1950s apparently hasn’t been paying attention to automation in factories for the past 40 years.

  3. Nice job CCP propaganda. Humanoid robots in manufacturing is dumb as fuck. Show me one that can go perform the job of carpenters, roofers, electricians, etc, and then it may solve a real problem. It’s probably an AI video anyways. 😆

  4. Trump is a lying sack of immoral humanlike bullshit, but he’s not an idiot. Tariffs are very regressive taxes. The great expansion of them is to facilitate further lowing of taxes on the rich, while burdening working Americans with even greater taxes.

  6. And which jobs are humans supposed to do after robots replace them?

    Yes I know this argument has been made since the time of the Luddites and that the fear was usually overblown, but we’re at a point in history when we actually need to be concerned about this. People are already losing jobs to AI and automation and they don’t have to if we do something about it

  7. AI and robotics will make half of jobs obsolete in the next 15 years.

  8. Trump is so hung up on the past. Tariffs that are the core of the economy. He wants the US to rely more on burning coal, he sees white picket fences with white families in all white neighborhoods. He sees men working and women staying home and waiting on her husband and satisfying his every need!

  10. I think the tech is mature enough to deploy robotcops and soldiers.

  12. Even if 80% of the jobs are done by robots…. Explain to me again why we wouldn’t want those 20% of jobs and the manufacturing capabilities in the US?

    Also…. I thought the issue was no one would work (problem solved) and American labor would raise cost (non-issue at robot wages)…

  13. Trump doesn’t want the 1950’s again; he said as much when asked a few months ago. He wants the Guilded Age again. He wants people to be so desperate for money, food, and housing that they will work the crappiest of jobs for the lowest of pay and the least amount of regulation and no labor unions there to keep things in check. He wants there to be a super wealthy class and then everyone else living in their tenement housing. 

  14. This isn’t a great example. This looks more like a demo of what a bipedal robot would be able to do. This isn’t effecient in the slightest. Factory robots would be / are on wheels, converyors, rails, etc. This here is the equivalent of a human working at normal pace, recorded in super slow mo. Those robot are far too slow for that job.

  15. Agree we will not be manning factories by the Millions but I have to ask everyone one question. Who will have the most control over ones economy, the one who can produces everything they need to survive or the one who buys everything they need.

    We literally will be up a creek without a paddle some day.

  16. The problem is the generation where the “old ways” worked are still in power and still have the money. So they think that’s how it should be. They are all delusional. The “old ways” are dead and gone and the “working poor” are struggling because of the fact they are holding on to those dead ideas. There no more “strap you boots up tight, work up the corporate ladder”. She gone.

  17. In China there is a propaganda show during Chinese New year called “Spring Festival Gala”. In this year show, they demonstrated a humanoid show as part of the China top advance technology like dance, juggling. However it was eventually found that lots of these humanoid show is faked and they are purely done by remote control. Even worst the humanoid also had problem balancing itself..

  19. I will never understand why these companies keep designing humanoid robots, and then restrict them to human movements.

    Are humans more efficient than ants? Are we more efficient than giant arms? We need tools to complete basic tasks, so why would we make tools that need to use our tools?

  20. Humanoid robots are only really useful in roles where being able to fill in for a human being without altering the work environment is more cost effective than redesigning the environment to take advantage of automation directly. If you’re talking about using androids to replace warehouse workers with current tech, you’d probably be better off just redesigning your warehouse to run without manual steps.

    Most newer factories in China already work this way, so I’m not sure why this weird wumao has decided to make this their hill to die on in the comments.

  21. That’s exactly what this administration is aiming for. They want to deport all immigrants, bring manufacturing to the U.S., and have Tesla build bots to work at those factories. I’m not assessing viability of this plan I’m just saying that’s their vision.

  22. Wtf why would this be an improvement. We’re not going to get ubi or free public services if this happens. Don’t be naive. They’re gonna let people eat Cheetos for breakfast and other cheap food. You think China doesn’t also have problems with unemployment, homelessness, and poverty? This isn’t good.

  24. Bro they can’t even replace their factory workers. Why people manually trsting vapes?

  25. Nothing beats a good old fashioned sweatshop, the American dream
