Are Humanoid Robots Actually Coming to Your Home? | Nikolaus, Rerun
Robotic manipulation is moving from “impossible” to “boring,” with vendors deploying tens to 100 robots for learning-based pick-and-place in manufacturing, though scale remains limited.Rerun treats physical data as multimodal, multirate, and episodic, distributing an open-source viewer while monetizing cloud infrastructure for the record-curate-train loop.Consumer reliability, weak benchmarks, and imperfect simulation leave robustness, self-correction, and scalable data economics as key watchpoints.
