\n“The gap between what we expect robots to do and what they can currently do is enormous. Every few months, Boston Dynamics produces a new video demonstrating its robots\u2019 newest tricks, and they\u2019ve become internet sensations as a result. But if you buy a robot today, you\u2019ll quickly find that they\u2019re not quite as capable as those viral videos might have led you to believe. They\u2019re not yet coordinated enough to keep up with us, let alone pose a Terminator-style threat.”<\/p>\n
Precisely, sometimes expectations don’t align with reality, especially when it comes to robotics. After watching those stellar Boston Dynamics videos, which scattered across the internet wavefront, one might foresee an eminent \u2018Terminator-style\u2019 apocalypse. However, purchasing a robot will bring home the bleak fact that this scenario isn\u2019t happening anytime soon.<\/p>\n
A glance at the gap between the widely expected and the current reality in robotics will burst the bubble of hyper-futuristic fantasies. Despite the big leaps and bounds in this sphere, a frustrating reality still looms over \u2014 the commercial robots just aren’t “there” yet. Well-coordinated dance routines by Boston Dynamics robots are downright impressive, no arguing with that, but purchasing a robot vacuum cleaner and expecting it to moonwalk around the house, successfully dodging every obstacle \u2014 that\u2019s just living in a sci-fi movie set.<\/p>\n
To put it simply, coming across hiccups and limitations in commercially-available robots is like running into an unexpected pothole in the middle of a smooth highway. Robots still have a long, winding path to traverse before they can keep up with human movements and surpass them to pose any kind of significant threat. In the meantime, let\u2019s appreciate the journey they\u2019ve made and understand that advanced technology always takes time to achieve its full potential. That day when robots will conquer home automation and become an integral part of daily lives might not be here today, but it\u2019s not in the realm of impossibility. Patience is a virtue, and in this case, a necessity. <\/p>\n
So, dream on about that personalized robot barista, but with an understanding that technology and reality might need some time to sync up. Until then, making your own morning coffee ensures a little exercise and also the satisfaction of creating your \u201cperfect cup\u201d.
