Telepresence Burglary 0 ▲ jes's blog 6 hours ago · Politics · hide · 0 comments We are soon (?) going to have autonomous or semi-autonomous humanoid robots that are actually good enough to use. Will we start seeing burglaries, or other physical-world crimes, committed by remote-operated humanoid robots? As for their present-day capabilities, YouTube has a Tesla Optimus doing kung-fu, a Boston Dynamics Atlas running around and break-dancing, and the Beijing humanoid robot olympics. I know, I know, these all kind of suck, and they don't look like they'd be good at breaking or entering. But they'll get better. It's not hugely material whether the robot is operating fully autonomously or is more like a dumb remote-controlled robot that you simply operate remotely, as long as it's capable enough to get it to do what you want. The advantage to the criminal is that they get a physical body that can operate in the real world, but if it gets subdued or injured or arrested they face basically no consequences as long as nothing physically present on the robot can trace it… No comments yet.
