Figure got a job at dad’s company. Not literally, of course, because humanoid robots don’t have dads. Or moms. But figuratively (sorry).

      rtfa. they’re doing a trial at distribution centers. this is mostly training for the AI at this point. there’s no way they’re putting these things to work in stores yet. one Flipper Zero incident away from losing a half a million dollars.

          Don’t get one if you don’t have any ideas in mind, it’s really not worth it. Unless you have money to burn of course.

          They’re expensive. You could learn a lot building your own if you want to.

          Then once you start playing with ZeroBro you’ll end up buying your own flipper lol.

            The only thing I remember seeing was a guy who copied the transponder things from ambulances and fire trucks and such to always have green lights.

        Imagine being employee working along side the thing that going make you unemployed and out on the street. What fuck no way would I put up with that.

        I’m shocked that Amazon isn’t putting this in its warehouses.

          Amazon already had this automated without humanoid robots. They don’t need a drop-in solution, but they’re most likely not selling this. https://youtu.be/0MCMB53jlIk
