Before humanoid robots are ready for homes, they need to pass the "Home Alone test," according to Standard Bots CEO @evanbeard. "We think maybe humanoids are right for the home. But then you have the safety issue. When it's going up the stairs, you need two five-year-olds to be able to jump on the back of it, pull it, or try to trip it. It's the Home Alone test." "You see RL robots and it looks so impressive. I think the average person thinks 'Oh yeah, robotics is solved.' But to beat the Home Alone test, RL is not quite there and it's hard to simulate all the things that an eight-year-old could do to it. So you can't even do the RL right now. It's an unsolved problem... I think it's going to be years away from being solved in the home."
