00:00The next few years are about to redefine how we live, as AI powered robots are poised to
00:08take over everyday tasks in our homes and beyond.
00:11So in this video, we're covering the latest AI and robotics news from the past few days
00:16featuring Isaac, Tesla's RoboTaxi, and the newest robots from LG, Samsung, Hisense, and
00:22Neurorobotics.
00:23We'll start with Isaac and see how these innovations are set to transform the future
00:27of automation.
00:28Alright, so Isaac is built to handle all those repetitive, mundane tasks.
00:32It tidies up, folds laundry, takes care of your pets, waters your plants, and even fetches
00:37your stuff, whether it's your keys, phone, or even a drink.
00:41It works through voice commands, text instructions, or automations you set in the app.
00:46Over time, it learns where things are supposed to go, so it actually gets more efficient
00:49the longer it's in your home.
00:51And when it's not in use, it just tucks itself away in its charging enclosure with
00:56the camera and mic safely turned off.
00:58Now, this isn't something that's just for show.
01:01It's a real, functioning robot that you can have in your home by fall 2025.
01:06The first 30 units are being shipped out around that time, and to get in on that, it'll
01:10cost $1,000 to reserve your spot.
01:13That's fully refundable.
01:15And when the time comes, you can decide whether to go for it.
01:18The full price?
01:19$59,000 up front, or if you prefer, there's a payment plan.
01:2348 months of $1,385 plus interest.
01:28It's not just about cleaning, though.
01:30Isaac has a bunch of additional features that make it incredibly useful.
01:34It'll take photos on demand, so if you need a quick snapshot or want to capture a moment,
01:39you won't even need to grab your phone.
01:41And there's a lot of thought put into privacy.
01:44When Isaac isn't running, the camera folds down, and everything it learns stays local
01:48to the device, so you don't have to worry about data being stored somewhere else.
01:53What's really promising about Isaac is that it's not a one-time deal.
01:57This robot will get regular updates that will make it even more capable over time.
02:02If it hits a task it can't do right away, there's a service called Remote Op, where
02:06specialists can take over and get the job done for you.
02:09This ensures you're not stuck waiting for future updates to make Isaac more helpful.
02:14Each Isaac comes with the robot itself, a charging enclosure, and access to the app
02:19for managing tasks.
02:21It's being assembled in California, and while the first deliveries are US-only, they're
02:25planning to expand production as quickly as possible.
02:28If you're not in the first batch, reserving one now still helps speed things up for future
02:33deliveries.
02:34And for anyone who's working in robotics, machine learning, or product design, the team
02:38behind Isaac is hiring, so this could be your chance to get involved in something pretty
02:42groundbreaking.
02:43That's the rundown on Isaac, a real leap forward in home automation.
02:46No more clutter, no more endless tasks.
02:49It's like having a reliable helper that's always ready to go.
02:52Keep an eye on this one, and if you're interested, securing your spot early might be worth it.
02:58Alright, now we've also got some seriously exciting news coming out of the IFA in Berlin,
03:03the biggest consumer electronics show in Europe.
03:06This year, a bunch of big players like LG, Samsung, Hisensee, and Neuro Robotics just
03:11revealed their latest AI home robots.
03:13And trust me, 2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for home automation.
03:18So let's kick things off with Hisense.
03:20They showcased their new robot Harley on September 7th, and honestly, it's awesome.
03:26Harley's about knee-high and greeted visitors at the event with this friendly smile.
03:30One of the coolest things they showed off was Harley's ability to do a quick health
03:33check.
03:34A reporter touched Harley's face, and in about 10 seconds, it analyzed heart rate,
03:38blood pressure, oxygen levels, pretty standard stuff, but it also gave a readout of stress
03:43levels.
03:44Turns out the reporter was a bit stressed, so Harley sent the data to a smart fridge,
03:47which recommended some stress-relieving meals like salmon steak and oil pasta.
03:51Yeah, this thing isn't just analyzing your health, it's also working with other smart
03:56devices in your home to make life easier.
03:59After picking the salmon, the connected oven even pre-set itself to cook the dish.
04:03Pretty wild, right?
04:04And the best part is that Harley's set to launch within the next 12 months.
04:07Now Hisense wasn't the only company flexing their robot game at IFA.
04:12Neuro Robotics, which is pretty well known for its humanoid robots, also made a big announcement.
04:17David Rager, the CEO and founder, said they've got home-use robots coming in 2025.
04:22What they had on display at IFA were second-gen prototypes, but the real deal is coming next
04:26year.
04:27These third-gen models are expected to be fully market-ready, which is super exciting.
04:32Neuro's also been making headlines because they secured a huge investment, $21.7 billion
04:37won from a US private equity firm just last year.
04:41Their humanoid robot, called 4NE1, is built to help around the house.
04:46It's 180 centimeters tall, weighs around 80 kilograms, and can carry up to 15 kilograms
04:52of stuff.
04:53Plus, it has sensors in all its joints, which means it can adjust its strength and balance
04:57for tasks like ironing.
04:59It's designed to really assist with everyday chores.
05:03Moving on to the South Korean giants, both Samsung and LG brought their A-game to IFA.
05:08Samsung's been teasing us with Bally for a while now, and it's finally set to hit
05:12the market by the end of this year.
05:14Bally is this cute little yellow ball-shaped robot on wheels.
05:18It's compact, but it's powerful.
05:20Think of it as a personal assistant that can control your smart home devices and even project
05:24images.
05:26Samsung did this demo at IFA, where Bally was asked to show landmarks in Berlin.
05:31It projected images of the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall Memorial, and Museum Island
05:36right onto the floor like a mini-projector.
05:38And when asked for more info, Bally rolled over to a blank wall and projected a bigger
05:42screen with even more details.
05:44So not only is it super helpful, but it's also pretty interactive.
05:48And then there's LG's Q9, which is set to release next year.
05:51LG's really going for the emotional connection with this one.
05:54The Q9 is basically a mobile AI hub that can show emotions through its screen.
05:58It winks and smiles, using expressions on its screen to communicate in a way that feels
06:02natural and engaging.
06:04But don't let that fool you.
06:06This thing's packed with tech.
06:07It's on wheels, has autonomous driving capabilities, and can adjust your home's lighting and temperature
06:12based on your routine.
06:13It even features generative AI, which is a fancy way of saying it can create stuff from
06:17scratch like telling stories.
06:19During one demo, someone drew a picture of a cat, the moon, and some clouds.
06:23And Q9 instantly came up with a whole story based on those elements.
06:27It's not just a gadget.
06:29It's an AI that's actively engaging with your home environment.
06:32With all these major players making moves, it's pretty clear that AI home robots are
06:37going to be huge in 2025.
06:40It's not just about convenience anymore.
06:42It's about transforming the way we interact with our homes and making daily life smoother,
06:47smarter, and more personalized.
06:49We're not talking distant future stuff.
06:51We're looking at next year for some of these launches.
06:54So if you've been dreaming about a robot-filled home, the next couple of years are going to
06:58be really exciting.
07:00All right, now Tesla has recently revealed exciting details about its upcoming RoboTaxi,
07:05a fully autonomous vehicle set to be unveiled at an event in October 2024.
07:10One of the key innovations tied to the RoboTaxi is its wireless charging technology, which
07:14was filed in a patent earlier this month.
07:17This system will allow the RoboTaxi to charge autonomously via pads installed on the ground,
07:23eliminating the need for manual plug-ins.
07:25The vehicle will simply park over a pad and start charging, which is crucial for a fully
07:30autonomous fleet that needs to operate 24-7 without human intervention.
07:35This move is in line with Tesla's commitment to making the RoboTaxi entirely independent,
07:40without the need for steering wheels or pedals.
07:43In addition to the wireless charging system, Tesla's patented sanitization system is
07:48another significant development for the RoboTaxi.
07:52This automated system will ensure the vehicle is kept clean between passengers, addressing
07:57the hygiene concerns of shared autonomous vehicles.
08:00Combined, these innovations underscore Tesla's push towards revolutionizing both transportation
08:06and autonomous vehicle technology.
08:08With the RoboTaxi expected to play a massive role in Tesla's growth, the technology behind
08:14it is critical to its success, and these developments signal that Tesla is aiming for a completely
08:19self-sufficient, safe, and practical fleet of autonomous vehicles.
08:23Alright, that's all for today, but definitely stay tuned for more updates as we follow these
08:27robots from prototype to our living rooms.
