🤔 It got us thinking: Where exactly are we on the journey from sci-fi fantasies of personal assistant robots to real-world robotics powered by AI?

Key Takeaways from This Episode:
🤖 The rise of humanoid robots, driven by advancements in AI and miniaturised technology.

⚙️ Why today’s robots excel at specific tasks—like robotic vacuums or lawnmowers—but struggle with broader, human-like capabilities.

🚀 The link between robotics and AGI—how multimodal AI could unlock decision-making across a variety of tasks.

👨‍🍳 Purpose-built robots on the horizon: Think robot chefs or household assistants designed for specific tasks before general-purpose robots become a reality.

While Tesla and others are pioneering humanoid robotics, we’re still navigating challenges like cost, miniaturisation, and scalability. How far are we from a robot butler in every home?

Watch the full episode to explore where AI and robotics are headed and their impact on the future of technology.
