Ah, come on, that’s ridiculous. Our studies show that even the worst fallout is down to a safe level after two weeks.

Two weeks! My suspicion about taking a wrong at some point turns out to be true…

Ah phasers… The most versatile piece of gear made by the Federation. It is even more useful than a replicator or a tricorder…

I dunno, pick up a container/bag/box from pharmacy, tell the robot where to go, it brings the delivery to a nurse across the hospital, the nurse gives it to the patient. That part seems fairly innocuous, though my question ends up being, are pneumatic tubes that expensive?

GENERAL PURPOSE
HUMANOID ROBOT
Apollo was developed from Apptronik’s experience and expertise in building over 10 previous robots including NASA’s Valkyrie robot.
Apollo will operate in warehouses and manufacturing plants in the near term eventually extending into construction, oil and gas, electronics production, retail, home delivery, elder care and countless more areas.
Apollo is the first commercial humanoid robot that was designed for friendly interaction, mass manufacturability, high payloads and safety
There is no pricing on the web site that I can see. If you have to ask applies.

That’s just kind of ringing alarm bells as a fake to me. If you want something general purpose, why limit it to the same form. Give it a better field of view for one, no need for a huge head to turn, more lenses in something easier to turn. You might want the humanoid for the elder care, but construction? Oil & gas?
Those just feel like CGI or costumes to me.

Like the Labors from the japanese cartoon Patlabor.
This kind of thing is pretty common in sci-fi shows. Whenever they show a society of robots, they are always humanoids. These robots use machines, spaceships and even computers. It does not make sense. The ships, means of transport, computers and other things would also be intelligent. There was no need to build a military ship and put hundreds of little robots as crew.

I work with one software package that the company demands a full bank vault just to move it from one workstation to another. Fees suck.
Looking at you airlines!
