Non-humanoid robots have an extremely wide range of applications, especially in logistics.
Be it replacing forklift trucks in transporting pallets from A to B or fetching raw materials from the warehouse to bring them to production.
(Humanoid is also technically relatively complex. More realistic are quadrupedal (four-legged) robots or robots on roller conveyors. There you have fewer problems with balance and can also increase the tensile load with 4 drives. Exactly what is mentioned in the interview).
As a German company, Innok Robotics would be quite interesting.

They already produce autonomous vehicles for various applications. Be it the Induros as a replacement for forklift trucks, which depending on the model has a payload of 700 to 1200 kg, or more niche things like the Rainos for watering green spaces (cemeteries).
Everything that a technically complex robot needs, e.g. for packing goods, can probably be achieved with half the technical know-how and price of a stationary robot.

I also find $6481 very interesting.
Or also $6954.
$KGX of course also not uninteresting

@Staatsmann We are already using four-legged friends as guard dogs. They are not yet perfect, but they are a first step.

$7012 also builds four-legged friends

•@Tenbagger2024 Yes, but I wouldn't want to get in at the moment. I don't think the bottom has been reached yet.

•@TradingHase Very good!
I have already seen some of the Innok models in action and was positively impressed.
Marking routes, programming delivery routes and then initially only people were needed to place the goods for the robots so that they could be driven to production. (The goods were in a high-bay warehouse and Innok can't quite handle that yet).
The people who used to take the goods from A to B with forklift trucks can now take care of far more important things, such as loading/unloading trucks quickly, because robots are often not yet good enough to improvise if the truck only loads instead of coming empty.

•@Staatsmann I saw a similar rack storage system at BMW in Munich on Friday. The new vehicles are brought in or taken out fully automatically.
