Their bipedal robot is at the level of bipedal robots 20 years ago.
Must be the runway, because it reminds me of this (very) old Wendy’s commercial.

Robots taking over our jobs.
It was supposed to kick the yellow pad I guess.
Looks more like it kicked the bucket. ![]()
Texas company ICON is taking orders for its new gigantic 3D-printing robot.
What does it print? Housing.
Wouldn’t be surprised if these robots start to show up in Taiwan.
I’d be very surprised if they showed up in Taiwan. Why would they show up in Taiwan they would be bloody useless here. How many single story homes without reinforced rebar concrete did you see built here ? How well do you think a structure like that would survive an earthquake ? How would you build multistory?
Taiwanese builders can even knock up fancy looking showouses in a matter of weeks why would they need this toothpaste machine?
I see them in the southwest US.
If I saw them in Taiwan, I’d expect to see them perched above street level and printing a high rise level by level. I’d be very surprised to see them printing single-level housing.
The issue would, indeed, be a cultural economic one. Taiwan employs lots of foreign laborers (and capital) in building high rises. This would be a far more capital intensive process, agreed. That’s why I didn’t say “I think they’ll be in Taiwan,” and instead said that I wouldn’t be surprised to see them.
Do you need to take a break? Calm down!
How would that work ? Have you ever looked at how much rebar and steel they use in Taiwanese buildings ? The buildings here are steel structures with rebar twisted into concrete pours.
Watch the video. They’re working on the next gen now; it’s designed for multi-story construction. Pretty sure they’re aware of the existence of rebar.

Just want to comment on how insane that they are able to tweak the gait of this bipedal robot so it more closely resembles how Olaf walks in the movies. Even just 10 years ago, it was incredibly difficult for robots to be bipedal. Now there’s a robot that can adjust itself walking on different surfaces and gradient, and change its gaits so it looks more cute. Sure, a person is controlling where it goes using a remote control, but the robot is deciding how to move its feet to best continue in the direction it’s being told to go to.
