I suppose the next big milestone is Wozniak's Coffee Test: A robot is to enter a random home and figure out how to make coffee with whatever they have.

That could still be decades away.

  • I don't know... I'm starting to seriously think that is only 5-10 years away.

    • Is that a real 5-10 years, a research 5-10 years[0] or 5-10 years of "FSD in the next 6 months"?

      The demo space is so sterile and empty I think we're still a loong ways off from the Coffee test happening. One big thing I see is they don't have to rearrange other items they have nice open bins/drawers/shelves/etc to drop the items into. That kind of multistep planning has been a thorn in independent robotics for decades.
