AI Potential

Whether you’re curious about Tesla’s approach, Waymo’s choices, or the broader race toward full autonomy, this guide gives you the foundation to understand what’s really going on behind the buzzwords.

Robot types and technologies: AI universal robots change everything.

May 21, 2024 August 3, 2024

As robots have been around since the 1950s, and humanoid robots have existed in science fiction over a century, it can easily be overlooked how AI humanoid robots could change our entire society and economic system when previous robots, which can be considered as specialist robots, didn’t have that much impact.

This is a look at the types of robots and technologies behind the changes.

AI & AI Robots: 3 steps to “we aren’t ready!”

If leading experts are correct, AI robots are coming and will take our jobs, so how will we afford robots to make our lives better? So far, there have been 3 steps, to understanding what is coming: 1) Seeing how already in 2024 AI and Robots have already reached a tipping point, 2) Reading what the experts say before dismissing the threat to jobs and assuming that new jobs will be created as they have in the past, 3) Understanding that Univeral Basic Income (UBI) won't be enough. Elon Musk and others currently propose a form of Univeral Basic Income UBI as the future, but the future for people like Elon Musk who work on and profit from the AI and Robots seems much clearer than for those who made redundant. How does Elon Musk asking for remuneration valued at $55 billion while Tesla is laying off over 10% of staff consistent with a world where everyone enjoys wealth through AI? If this AI and robot future is real, then the entire capitalist system needs at least serious revision, and the solution may come from everyone owning robots.

From the youtube description: Self-driving cars rely on more than just hype — they need sensors that can actually “see” the road. In this video, we break down the four key sensor types: LIDAR, radar, cameras, and sonar. You’ll learn the pros and cons of each technology, the myths surrounding LIDAR, and how these sensors shape the future of AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re curious about Tesla’s approach, Waymo’s choices, or the broader race toward full autonomy, this guide gives you the foundation to understand what’s really going on behind the buzzwords.
