Numerous robots showcased at CES [OC]

**What Happened:** As I strolled through the CES, I quickly realized that robots were everywhere—rolling around, talking to each other, and even trying to out-pitch each other on the latest gadgets. One particularly enthusiastic robot was attempting to sell me a smart toaster that could send emails. As I stood there, trying to comprehend the concept of a toaster with face time capabilities, I turned around to find another robot vacuum having an existential crisis in the corner. It was stuck on a cord, going in circles and lamenting, “If I can’t get past this, how can I conquer the world?”

**Why It’s Funny:** The absurdity of it all hit me like a slapstick comedy routine. Here we were at a tech show where we were supposed to marvel at cutting-edge innovation, but instead, I was watching a vacuum cleaner philosophizing about its life choices while a toaster promised to make my breakfast more social. It was like a Pixar movie where every bot has a personality—and frankly, I was more entertained by these robots’ drama than any of the actual gadgets!

CES looks less like a tech expo and more like the prequel to *iRobot* waiting for one to ask me about car insurance.

CES is a very very big convention. Like think of your biggest convention center, then add 5 more buildings. Im guessing this is close to the start of the “China” section, which gradually becomes more like a strip mall of “companies” that all have the exact same products.

I’ve never been to CES but I’ve been to IMTS a few times at McCormick Place and it’s enormous. I think it’s the largest convention center in the US. You can’t see it all in a day. You need like 2-3.

Imagine if the robot uprising was just and endless stream of door-to-door sales bots.

Ok-disaster2022 • 21 points

I like how they all have like the same aesthetic, as if it’s 1 or two companies doing most of the work and just producing other companies specs for them

you know what copying means. they all follow. nobody has own ideas. robots and dogs. that’s all they can do for now, until an other innovative brand enters the market, then they will all copy them. nothing really new comes from those factories. they can just produce but not innovate.

Yes and they are going to buy all the data of the inside of your house that Roomba collected. So when it comes to find you, it won’t take long and there’s nowhere to hide.

I’m just enjoying the thought of you recording this in the middle of CES and how many people walked by and raised an eyebrow.

mccarthybergeron • 6 points

Yeah, maybe not the smartest to do it at the entrance of the expo…

CES 15 years ago: “Here’s a phone that can take amazing pictures!” CES today: “Meet your replacement.”

Anyone have any info on the prosthetic hands in this video?

mccarthybergeron • 7 points

If you’re asking about the 2nd set of hands, they’re robot hands by ZHAOWEI the B20 series Dexterous Hand

A yes, the three things robots can do: wave, dance, and puppeteer.

And point!

I would feel so much more comfortable around these things if they were retro looking. Like WallE or the ones from the Electric State film or the Robots film.

NotObviouslyARobot • 1 points

Someone should just sneak a humanoid robot in as an attendee. Because if you replace people, there’s no point in these robots

ok.. 1..2..or 5 things: 1. I have so many friends that look like this guy. I literally thought one of them posted this. 2. Robot controlling robot like marionette is wild. 3. Little titty robot dog was something else. 4. … I got nothing else. I guess it’s nice to be waved at. edit.. Oh 5th thing!…. dude has a good neck swivel.

I’m playing Detroit Become Human (I’ve had it since 2019) right now and I can definitely say I finally get the hate surrounding androids in that game. Detroit Become Human is starting to become prophetic now.

In the next decade, an autonomous robot is going to kill a human. Likely used by some military (probably the US).

Robots of all kinds and sizes everywhere… Mostly useless. Only one was actually folding laundry.

What changed in robotics that there are SO many android-type robots now? It doesn’t seem so long ago that Boston Dynamics was really the only one building two-legged humanoid robots.

That’s right boys, just smile and wave.
