Humanoid Robot Frontier
Rodney Brooks warns the humanoid craze is headed for a dead end
The NY Times cites robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks—the mind behind the original Roomba—asserting that the current surge of Silicon‑Valley humanoid projects is “doomed to fail,” as investors overlook fundamental engineering challenges. The Guardian adds that Brooks stresses the gap between flashy prototypes and the robust, dexterous machines needed for real‑world tasks, warning that hype may eclipse practical progress.
