NOETIX’s Bumi Robot isn’t as impressive as humanoid robots by industry leaders like Boston Dynamics and Unitree, but its price is. If a Chinese company can sell humanoids at this price, then it will be able to do the same in 2030 & 2035 when they are much more advanced.

Tech has to get a whole lot more secure, reliable, and personalized before I would consider buying a robot. I want to know my robo-butler isn’t going to report me to the thought police if I grumble about my job or my city council. I want to know that common-sense features and updates won’t be paywalled behind a subscription model. I want to know I won’t have to sit through ads every 2 minutes while it does its chores. I want to know that yet another massive data breach won’t provide criminals with an interior map of my house and images of every friend and family member who’s ever visited my home.
