A good half way point is just that some parts of your house are semi private and others are fully private. The gradient already exists, no one goes to the bathroom with me, but I don't care of people are in the kitchen with me.

If you’re willing to let someone teleop a robot in your home don’t complain when people see your nuts…

Take too long (in America). China kicks ass at manufacturing actuators affordably. @westmagco and @atlasmotion might help the USA be competitive. I hope so.

The reason you don't have any of these in your living room yet is because the parts to make them take too long and are too expensive, namely, the actuators.

These are the important questions we will answer in the next 2 years. The left kinda broke me. The right looks indecent after seeing the left.

The current generation of humanoid and humanoid-adjacent robots is producing some great designs.

The robots listen when you mog them. They're unruly if they smell weakness.

One of the cutest things toddlers do is hit you with all the cute mannerisms but say gibberish. It drives home the importance of body language.

I suffer from an unshakable core belief that I’m meant to help save the manufacturing ecosystem in western PA. It’s not arrogance, I’m just burdened to do this for my community & I must build a better world for my kids to grow up in. We have to build that which we want to see
