Summary

The concept of the Uncanny Valley was created by roboticist Masahiro Mori. The graph looks at how people's affinity for robots goes up as they become more human-like, but then goes down to feeling creeped out or repulsed before potentially going back up again.

Challenges in Building a Robot that Can Grapple Like a Human
The development of a robot that can grapple like a human has proved challenging beyond just figuring out the biomechanics as all of the senses required for perception have also had to be replicated, and it remains difficult to build such a system that would be able to perceive the world as richly as a human can.

Debunking Criticism of Boston Dynamics’ Robot Speed
Boston Dynamics’ robot moving at five miles an hour isn't as outlandish as some critics suggest, as cars on the road moving at 75-85 miles an hour are processing data, doing machine learning and figuring out the car's trajectory in real-time, making the robot’s task easier.

Boston Dynamics’ robot moving at five miles an hour isn't as outlandish as some critics suggest, as cars on the road moving at 75-85 miles an hour are processing data, doing machine learning and figuring out the car's trajectory in real-time, making the robot’s task easier. Special-purpose automation is a cheaper and more elegant solution to solve customer's problems, given the leveraging of core IP at Boston Dynamics can provide a great set of applications to existing product lines and customers they serve for businesses in special purpose automation, which Hyundai is now part of, following its acquisition of Boston Dynamics from SoftBank.

Summary

The emergence of robots that can mimic human behavior and characteristics raises the question: when does a robot become human? Physicist Michio Kaku argues that if a robot acts and looks like a human, it should be considered a human.
