• Industry & robots / Rodney Brooks: “The general plan is that humanoid robots will be “plug compatible” with humans and be able to step in and do the manual things that humans do at lower prices and just as well. In my opinion, believing that this will happen any time within decades is pure fantasy thinking. But many are predicting that it will happen in as soon as two years, and the more conservative hypenotists believe it will have significant economic impact within five years.”
• Software development / Thomas Wolf: “We believe robotics could be the next frontier unlocked by AI — and it should be open, affordable, and private. Our vision: a future where everyone in the community, from hobbyists to enterprises, can build or use robot assistants or games, starting from open solutions instead of closed, remote controlled, hardware.”
• Industry & robots / Jensen Huang: “The ChatGPT moment for robotics is here. Breakthroughs in physical AI — models that understand the real world, reason and plan actions — are unlocking entirely new applications”
