Humanoid Robots Unstable Without Power and Slow on Simple Tasks

Nathan Labenz shared details from @binarybits on an AI:AM broadcast. Humanoid robots lack passive stability, so losing power causes falls or thrashing, leading most companies planning deployments to avoid homes with small children. On tasks like making a peanut butter sandwich, Physical Intelligence completed most work in about three months, yet the systems run up to 10x slower than humans and reach only 53 percent success. Reaching 99 percent success could take ten years.
