Figure 02: This is fully autonomous driven by Helix the Vision-Language-Action model. The policy is flipping packages to orientate the barcode down and has learned to flatten packages for the scanner (like a human would)
God, what a soul crushing job. Please, have robots take these from us. But I can't help but think there would be a more efficient form factor than bipedal humanoid...
Oh. Yeah. That’s the point of this exercise. To supplant the human portion of the process. Auto-processing of nice neat well oriented packages already happens at a high rate of speed. The ones that cause hiccups are shunted off to be seen by a human to fix whatever kicked it out. This would replace the human aspect of the problem solving process. The AI isn’t the problem, it’s the mechanics.
I assume this was said on jest. Assuming not, such a solution would negate the purpose of the robot. At that point a small, stationary unit makes more sense.
The purpose of the robot appears to be Orient packages for scanning. As displayed in the video, this robot would work at this station for 24 hours a day. As such, a static power supply such as as an electric cable dropped from the ceiling would be great.

Gonna need a buttload of these fuckers when the orange shit stain deports each and every low paid worker in the land!

Oh good a robot designed to mock us using self check-out

Were do they strap the pee bottle?

A purpose built machine would be infinitely faster and more accurate at that

Wait a couple of years.

But it can be programmed for other jobs. Good luck with trying to convert a purpose built machine

It's neat but the power supply is a massive challenge.

What do you mean? Surely you can just drop 110 volt cable from the ceiling.

These things can replace their own batteries and have other robots replace their batteries
