I think this is going to be bad for BMW, and bad for the current robotics-summer. I _hope_ that’s not the case, I’d love for robotics to get deployed more widely in manufacturing. But I’m pretty sure it will be. I think the chances of meaningful success would be higher with non-humanoid robotics

Will they dance? I've yet to see someone demo a humanoid robot doing something useful. Clearly, making them dance can't be that difficult.

It is a pilot project. German pilot projects rarely go anywhere. If this succeeds against all odds, I hope for BMW that the robots are buying cars, too.

Meanwhile China has dark factories.

So their cars will get cheaper, right... right???

That's excellent! I look forward to much cheaper cars now that the robots will be making them for the masses.

Here is a 60 Minutes piece showing Boston Dynamics Atlas working in a car factory in the United States. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ISdRkS37I" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ISdRkS37I</a>

How they work? Without indication
