Predictions Scorecard, 2026 January 01 – Rodney Brooks

Darren Jan 4

This is a good read if you're trying to understand the future in autonomous tech and AI. #RodneyBrooks is a pioneer in #robotics and #AI (parent of the roomba among other things) and just an interesting guy. He benchmarks his 2018 predictions against progress at the start of every year. I find the realism and honesty refreshing. That’s not a 100% agree with everything but he‘s thought provoking @rodneyabrooks

#RodneyBrooks: Despite significant investment, #humanoidrobots are unlikely to achieve #humanlevel #dexterity in the near future. The manipulation challenge remains a significant #hurdle, with existing #robotichands lacking the robustness, force, and longevity required for real-world applications. Humanoid robots will likely differ significantly from both current designs and human anatomy. https://rodneybrooks.com/why-todays-humanoids-wont-learn-dexterity/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
