Wonder how humanoid robots are getting along?

Whether you're completely in the dark about humanoid robots, building them, or just intrigued by how they'll affect our everyday lives, this ad by?US multinational software company Nvidia may be of interest.

Nvidia explains that it builds "three computers to enable the world’s leading robot manufacturers to build [artificial intelligence] AI-enabled robots - NVIDIA AI and DGX to train foundation models, Omniverse to simulate and enhance AIs in a physically-based virtual environment, and Jetson Thor, a robot supercomputer".?

The ad shows how that looks: the image shows (L-R) Demonstration, Omniverse and Real Robot in action.

As AI?hurtles forward in myriad forms, the tech sector itself?experienced a slump recently as investors offload their stock amid concerns that AI has been overhyped, and over the state of the?US economy.

As reported by Yahoo News, Nvidia CEO "Jensen Huang shed a record amount of Nvidia shares from his portfolio last month, bring his total stock sales to nearly $500 million this summer, putting the CEO of the chip titan ahead of a brutal global stock sell-off".

So, would you trust this robot in the kitchen?

Or as a workmate?

And here's hot-off-the-press Figure 02. It's been created by US technology company Figure, which describes itself as "an AI? robotics company building the world's first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robot".

The company's aim is to harness AI and a general-purpose robot for mass deployment in the global workplace:

"With the first humanoid by our side in the workforce, we’ll have the ability to create and produce so much more, address drastic labor shortages, and reduce the number of workers in unsafe jobs"?

The response from YouTube viewers so far is mixed, but humour figures high:

"Getting them to walk like they've soiled their pants is genius - makes them less threatening".
