The time has actually come for humanoid robotics to go into commercial assembly line and find out how to help people by carrying out repeated, laborious, and possibly harmful jobs for them. Just recently, UBTECH's humanoid robotic Walker S was presented into the assembly line of NIO's innovative vehicle-manufacturing center, as an “intern” helping in the vehicle production. Walker S is the very first bipedal humanoid robotic to finish a particular workstation's jobs on a mobile EV assembly line.

Henry Evans keeps striving to make robotics much better, this time with the support of scientists from Carnegie Mellon University.
Henry stated he chose utilizing head-worn assistive teleoperation (HAT) with a robotic for specific jobs instead of depending upon a caretaker. “Definitely scratching itches,” he stated. “I would enjoy to have it stand beside me all the time, prepared to do that or hold a towel to my mouth. Feeding me soft foods, running the blinds, and doing odd tasks around the space.”
One development in specific, software application called Driver Assistance that assists line up the robotic's gripper with an item the user wishes to get, was “remarkable,” Henry stated. Chauffeur Assistance leaves the user in control while it makes the great modifications and corrections that can make managing a robotic both tiresome and requiring. “That's much better than anything I have actually pursued understanding,” Henry stated, including that he wants to see Driver Assistance utilized for every single user interface that manages Stretch robotics.
