Rodney Brook&#x27;s keynote at Stanford HAI earlier this month.<p>Some interesting points right at the beginning relevant to recent on-stage demos by companies including like Nvidia and Tesla.<p>- Product lifecycle has a realistic timeline on order of decades going from research lab demo to a realized commercial product. He first saw demos of driving cars arriving in 1979, yet we still don&#x27;t have Full Self Driving in 2025.<p>- @2:35 &quot;Humanoids they&#x27;re everywhere and what is it doing. The form of a humanoid is promising that it&#x27;s going to be able to do everything that a human can do. And it completely fools VCs. A lot of people&#x27;s pension funds are going into all these robots and its not going to end so well.&quot;<p>Rodney Brooks states he&#x27;s built 4,500 humanoid robots in his lab.
