New benchmark tests AI memory for household robots

33 minutes ago Humanoids, these two-legged robots that look like smooth, often faceless versions of us, have become a center of attention within robotics, both in terms of funding and hype. We are now in a situation where humanoid demonstrations are being driven solely by performance and making the latest "cool" video, Ames says, and companies are rushing to scale and deploy.

However, there is a chasm between pulling off exciting tricks in a controlled environment and being able to navigate in dynamic real-world settings. And humanoids are not yet fully capable of taking in information about and assessing rapidly changing settings.
