Why we don't have robot butlers yet | Ken Goldberg | TEDxMarin
In this 12-minute TEDx talk, artist and roboticist Ken Goldberg explains why robots are still klutzy and shows some of the surprising things they are starting to learn....We have microwaves, lasers, and cellphones: where are the robots? Computers and AI have advanced significantly, but here is why we still don't have robots that can do our chores.
Ken is an American artist, writer, inventor, and researcher in the field of robotics and automation. He is professor and chair of the research department at the University of California, Berkeley, and holds the William S. Floyd Jr. Distinguished Chair in Engineering at Berkeley, with joint appointments in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), Art Practice, and the School of Information. Goldberg also holds an appointment in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of California, San Francisco.
Goldberg and his students have published over 170 peer-reviewed technical papers on algorithms for Robotics, Automation, and social information filtering. Goldberg leads the UC Berkeley Automation Sciences Lab, which pursues research in Cloud Robotics and Automation, Social Information Retrieval using geometric algorithms, and Algorithmic Automation for Feeding, Fixturing, Grasping, with an emphasis on geometric algorithms that minimize sensing and actuation.
In his PhD dissertation, Goldberg developed the first algorithm for orienting (feeding) polygonal parts and proved that the algorithm can be used to orient any part up to rotational symmetry. He also patented the kinematically yielding gripper, a new robot gripper that complies passively to hold parts securely without sensing. Goldberg is Co- Founder and editor-in-chief of the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering. His research has resulted in eight United States patents.

Something that has changed in our lifetime is that scientists have become much more engaging and entertaining.
I always thought that “Rosie”, the robot for the Jetsons was a most capable version. But then I also thought Astro was better than Scooby Do.

Excellent info about robots giving us an idea where we are actually standing on! Thank you so much for the excellent information and video!
I believe not only should we have robot butlers but we should have robot EVERYTHING. Robots can easily do things without getting stressed, tired, etc despite the fact that they don't have feelings. People would have FULL control of their lives and work wouldn't get in the way. I'm 100% positive that robots making money for humans would really benefit everyone's mental health and well being

You enjoy 1 day off work... But what about 10? Work is good for us... Life is not supposed to be easy. If it were too easy easy would become hard. We have more free time than any generation in human kind history and that's part of why these mental health issues are arising (we as humans have not learned how to manage our mental states). Just like we must exercise to achieve good physical fitness we must (meditate, spend time in nature, etc) to achieve good mental fitness.
Enjoyable and informative presentation; wish my educators had half the teaching skills demonstrated by Professor Goldberg!
Awesome 🎉
Imagine astroboy-level robots. That would be incredible.
Great to hear😍
That's why they starting to introduce AI to robotics
Japan and S Korea already have them. The US doesn't.
Me gusto, una realidad, de la actualidad de los robots, estamos a muchos años de lo que nos muestran las películas.
Good to know robots won’t be taking my job anytime soon😂😂😂

😮💨can't tell that about software side...
I imagine a doctor's robot. He will do all things what human can't do. After 50 or 70 years it can be possible they can treat humans better that human doctor. And AI would be tremendously helpful for them. Robots can be philosophers, an economist , teacher, , maybe be they can run our country better that humans
Robot's would be excellent police / judges.
I think its important we start with a rule book for them that they can follow so they can feel ❤one with the society we live in
If it is easy for us, why would we want robots to do it for us? The things I don't want to have to do are deep-sea mining, reloading nuclear reactors, performing brain resections. I'm fine with packing my shopping and folding my laundry - it really doesn't take that long.
I want iRobot robots. Just the friendly ones though

Singularity is coming be nice to bots 🤖
I thought this was legit until I saw it was ted "x".
We just have T. Watts, talking about them.
You don't have it yet. In some countries people have it.
12:16 the alternative being dogs to assist the handicap...and monkeys for others.
Because it is no fun belittling a machine. 🕊️
MY CATS HAVE ROBOT BUTLERS, Guess Who...
🖖🏻
Though Robot AI and the Like is Sometimes Dealt with Exquisitely - Blade Runner (2049) and Automata for example -- Humans are better than Metal, Wire, and Batteries.
(Sebastian Lascurain)
Sometimes you meet people who you think might really be robots….
Haha 😂 i like your robet 😅like me
I personally don’t want robots. That’s crazy and we all know it

No, man, it's not crazy to not want robots. A bit odd, maybe, but not crazy. They can have all the jobs they want.
Boy that was hard to watch him try to talk, hes worried something is coming, like wonder what's he's worried about? Maybe Elon Musks gen 2 and 3 and 4 making all his 30years of work obsolete!!!!
