where someone's guiding the robot
to basically do expert demonstrations
on how to do these tasks.
And as we have an increasing
number of these robots
throughout homes,
living among us and learning,
more and more of this becomes autonomous
until hopefully,
one day, all of this
will be fully autonomous.
And if you kind of
follow along in the field,
a natural question to ask
at this point would be:
Why doesn’t everyone do this?
If it's so obvious.
Well it actually turns out,
it’s incredibly hard
to make a robot that is safe among people.
So robots are traditionally
these quite stiff, high-energy --
you’re doing great, NEO,
you’re doing great.
They're this --
careful, I don’t want to get watered --
stiff machines that are
high-energy and dangerous.
And this is very different
from how NEO works.
NEO actually has tendons
that [get] pulled,
