Example on where a current AI like Gemini falls down. Excuse all the early stuff on robotics, but it shows up Google's search background, too much of their 'knowledge' all based on very general articles, no direct access to source data. Lots to improve. gemini.google.com/share/560c…
"~90% of robotic supply chain available in China"
Good that the west has builders of embodied robots and some key components, but needs all of the upstream supply chain. Is this rodeo going to be any different compared to batteries?

A biting assessment of Europe by @TheEconomist:
“Europeans know the global race for economic supremacy is lost. But the continent’s business model endures: it is a third poorer than America, works a third less, and is a lot more tanned at the end of August.”

🤖 Humanoid robotics has barely started. The west needs to either design them out and/or get developing resources and processing pronto. Try and pick the right location this time!

Section of an article on some of the ongoing challenges developing a robotic hand. Needed rate of change ahead, very high. Little surprise 🇨🇳 going full speed across the whole arena. Looks like the 2015ish ev/battery world.
