    Yeah this sounds like BS just to boost stock numbers now that the bubble might be starting to burst…

    Liu didn’t say how many bots Foxconn will put to work, didn’t describe the machines and their capabilities, didn’t say what roles they will take on, or whether they would obviate the need for human workers. Nor did he explain why humanoid robots are a good fit for Nvidia’s factory, a significant issue as building robots that replicate human anatomy is generally considered wasteful unless they will work in environments built for people. Robots built specifically to work in factories are therefore common, and humanoid contraptions largely remain a curiosity.
