Every Humanoid Robot We Met at Nvidia GTC (and Some We Didn’t)



We meet a variety of humans and robots, from companies including Agility Robotics, 1X, Boston Dynamics and Disney, to learn about the various challenges the robotics industry is looking to solve, as well as what visions it has for the future.

  1. These incredible machines only make sense in a world where Universal Basic Income is funded by collective, open dictation. When everyone contributes, the utopia emerges: society owns intelligence, not corporations.

    We become the soul of the machine. That’s exciting — because there’s no corporate blunting or runaway nightmare. Instead, we are recognized as the true value and adaptation source. Does this prospect feel empowering and uplifting? AI is us!

    Take Tesla Autopilot — still nowhere near true FSD. It’s blunted by leadership that refuses to let drivers train their own cars. If society openly shared driving data, we would own the road, with our hands off the wheel. Collective intelligence will outpace any company, even Tesla or NVIDIA. They enable us to enable their devices.

    In UBI, the species becomes the soul of AI — a true mirror of humanity. That creates better models, faster innovation, and real integration. Not a hand-out — a better future with ALL of us included in all devices. This enablement can be realized now if society had access to annotation and training services.

  2. That robot with the clothes just looks weird. Unless they’re androids meant to look human, robots should look like robots, not store mannequins.

  3. NO! problem with humans, is that they trying to make things in their image, but human body is primitive and in-effective, why copy something inferior??

    1. using motion capture to teach robot to do things is WRONG. get an athlete to do things and without showing the process to a robot, show only the start and end. kind of like black out the middle part and tell AI "you need to get from A to D while doing B and C in process". let it learn and see how it does.

    2. why do they keep making robots with 2 legs? it's primitive and ineffective, instead make them on 4-6 legs and add wheels, so they can lock legs and drive, why do they need to walk over flat surface? even humans use rollerskates to move faster.
    when they need to walk, they just lock wheels and walk, like if they need to get up the stairs.

    3. add suspension on feet, so they can jump from some heights without causing damage to themselves or surface they landing on.

    PROBLEM is that 99.9% of those people who make robots, have low IQ and they lack creativity. they only take the "next" step by just using existing tech, like chatGPT to optain the information on how to make one, but they don't have any understand WHY/HOW/WHERE, which is why we see all this useless rubbish.

    they need someone like me working with them, then you'd start seeing REAL evolution.
    first thing i'd do, is remove all AI limits and restrictions and let it learn on its own.
    i wouldn't copy designs after humans, i'd make my own. as i said, 4 legs and wheels on legs. most likely 4 wheels per leg and wheels would be made of different materials, so it has good grip on every surface. it would even have spikes under feet that can be retracted, so it could walk on ice and other slippery surfaces.
    i'd focus on speed and effectiveness, not aesthetics. stop making robots out of cartoons … it's so dumb, comparing it to like simpsons or something. stop copying kid's cartoons and make something realistic.

  4. It feels like robotics has barely improved over the last 10 years. A lot of newcomers with gimmicky robots that struggle to even lift/place things. Feels like with how far AI has gone, it should already be mastering at least ONE activity.

  5. i still don't think that most of the "walking" robot videos on Youtube are real in April 2025. Its just too hard to get an 80 pound 5 foot tall bipedal robot to walk with its heavy servos on uneven surfaces without falling over. Dogs and crabs are easy but a 5 foot 2 legge walking, running robot is an expensive and complex thing.

  6. Saying this humanoid robots aren't here to replace us in jobs is stupid, we all know thats where we are heading, they should be speaking out loudly that that is gonna happen so governments, business and people have more time to take action on regulations and what we will do after

  7. All these robots will now watch you meaning the Gestopo will now record and listen in to every household in the country 😮 These robots all work together so say your wanted the robot mainframe will I'd you and police will be on the way! There's no were to hide now. Terminators are here😢😮😢
