He has a maximum speed of three miles per hour and can carry payloads up to 55lb.<\/p>\n<p>The company won&#8217;t sell Phoenix robots, but will instead rent them out to do the jobs of human workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs predicted that the market for humanoid robots could be worth $150 billion a year worldwide within 15 years &#8211; and that humanoid robots will be viable in factories between 2025-2028 and in other jobs by 2030-2035.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk\u2019s Tesla is building a rival robot called Optimus which aims to take on any task a human can do &#8211; and which Musk has said could be \u2018more significant\u2019 than the company\u2019s cars.<\/p>\n<p>Rose believes that humanoid robots will be a defining technology for the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8216;These are much bigger than vacuum cleaners or washing machines. A vacuum is incredibly valuable, as is a washing machine. But those are special-purpose technologies. What we\u2019re building is entirely different.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Key to the Phoenix robot\u2019s success is the AI\u2019s hands &#8211; as well as the Carbon AI software which the robot uses to \u2018think\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>This allows the robot to &#8216;learn&#8217; different skills:\u00a0Phoenix is trained to do tasks by a human operator \u2018driving\u2019 it in virtual reality, but then learns to do tasks independently.<\/p>\n<p>Rose said that more than 98 percent of jobs require human hands &#8211; and said that Phoenix can already load items into a bag, clean mirrors, sort objects and stock fridges.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/15\/15\/75421329-12517339-The_Phoenix_robot_was_unveiled_earlier_this_year-a-23_1694788466159.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Phoenix robot was unveiled earlier this year\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/12\/75421599-12517339-Elon_Musk_showing_off_his_rival_Tesla_Optimus_robot_last_year-a-5_1694949410285.jpg\" height=\"436\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk showing off his rival Tesla Optimus robot last year\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said that haptic (vibration) sensors in the robot\u2019s hands give the machine a sense of touch, and mean that its hands are \u2018as close as possible\u2019 to human hands in their ability to manipulate objects.<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix has the \u2018ability to think and then act and complete work tasks just like a person,\u2019 Rose said.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u2018While we&#8217;re immensely proud of our physical robot, the real star of the show is the underlying software.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Sanctuary AI is based in Vancouver, Canada, and has raised $100 million to investigate creating &#8216;human-like intelligence&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The company believes that one day such robots could be as &#8216;ubiquitous as cars&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In tests in a Mark\u2019s retail store in Langley British Columbia, the robot was able to complete 100 different tasks, 40 percent of all tasks that human employees could &#8211; including packing merchandise, cleaning, labelling and folding, and another robot completed similar tasks in a Sport Chek store.<\/p>\n<p>Rose said, \u2018Moving forward, the goal is that our general-purpose robots will be capable of doing any work that people can do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our focus, at the moment, is creating robots for businesses to address the labor shortages they are facing. The world is dealing with declining birth rates and an aging population resulting in a massive labor shortage. In the U.S. alone, there are currently 9.9 million unfilled jobs, but only 5.8 million unemployed workers.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-12517339\/Meet-Phoenix-5ft-7-robot-doing-household-chores-decade.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Phoenix, the 5ft 7 robot that will be doing all your household chores within a decade Machine can pack&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
