That's a pretty long training period. I wonder if any of the training data is reusable if the assembly process changes slightly?
Not sure how I feel about 10M workers being dismissed over time... the robot itself is really impressive regardless
I have a feeling when BMW gets the maintenance and technician bills for this thing, they'll realize that maybe meatbags aren't so bad
From what I understand this is the first time training of the system. It's brand new. Its going to take a while.
Some that would be analogous would be those arm robots. At the start they were very specific and I don't think very flexible at all. But when I looked at them going into a factory they are very general purpose machines. The manufacturers would come out and install them and make changes easily. They were also talking about how they would train people onsite to make some alterations, e.g. new box sizes.
Seeing as its using neural networks, they are meant to be general purpose machines right? I'm sure they must be more flexible than other types of systems.
