The 9g climbing robot can carry over a kilogram vertically up glass. This is equivalent to a human climbing up a skyscraper while carrying an elephant.
“This is equivalent to a human climbing up a skyscraper while carrying an elephant.”
Wow.
In the video, 100 grams of robots were able to roll a car which weighed 1,800 kilograms (1 to 18,000 ratio), albeit slowly.
At the same time that robots are evolving a general purpose human-like set of capabilities, super abilities like this are also developing.
Productivity and quality will skyrocket across the board as robots begin taking over functions from humans. Costs will plummet for most things. Standards of living should skyrocket.
