What I want to discuss with you today is why more and more robot builders are looking to the human form for their new designs.
Most robots we see in the world today do not look like humans at all. They actually look like nothing that is alive, maybe at most an arm. This form has made a lot of sense so far. The tasks these robots had to take over were very specific. A robot always did just one particular job. Think, for example, of tightening a screw or making a weld. To be able to perform this task, the robot was programmed very precisely. It could do that one task very well, very often, and very quickly, but it couldn't do anything else. It was not intelligent at all. Therefore, the form of an arm was fine. Sometimes it was a very small arm, like in the example of the screw, but I have also been to a Tesla factory where a robot arm as big as a room could lift an entire car and place it on a higher floor. The time when robots only looked like a big arm is coming to an end.

Ik nodig je van harte uit om regelmatig naar mijn podcast te luisteren. We zullen het hebben over fascinerende technologieën en uitvindingen. We bespreken de problemen en de kansen. We zullen ons samen afvragen hoe de wereld eruit zou kunnen zien. Ik beloof je dat het een spannende, leuke en optimistische reis zal worden. Een reis vol robots, kunstmatige intelligentie, zelfrijdende auto's en duurzame energie. Een reis vol vragen en antwoorden. Een reis vol verwondering en verbazing. Maar ook een reis met veel herkenning. Ik ga deze afleveringen met groot plezier maken en kijk ernaar uit om jouw reacties te horen.

Ik zou het zeer waarderen als je je abonneert op deze show! Wil je mij boeken voor een keynote speech of een workshop, neem dan contact op via de onderstaande gegevens of Google mijn naam, Randall van Poelvoorde.
