Running robot

Finally a real use-case for humanoid robotics. This robot is already used for cleaning toilets in china.

🤖 Robots didn't survive the factory work on BMW plant — worked 10 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Their arms started falling apart. Entire bodies & palms were horribly scratched, too. Finally, developers took pity on them and retired after 10 months of work, replacing with new ones. So, robots can retire after a year, but humans have to work all their life? 😂

Genki Robotics, a new humanoid robotics startup, is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. It's founded by Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, who was a Google executive for nine years. Rubin led Google’s robotics division during 2013–14, which included Boston Dynamics, which Google had acquired. Andy Rubin’s investment firm invested in Agility Robotics in 2018. Genki Robotics's vision "is to accelerate the integration of intelligent humanoids into society — augmenting human capability and shaping the future of work and service." The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and AMD, among others. Here's Andy Rubin in 2018 talking about why the bipedal form makes sense, with Agility's Cassie robot on stage
