Introduction
At RoboForce, we see key technical advances making RoboLabor possible starting to be practical, we believe the golden time to build AI Robotics systems is now.
I’m writing to share the most fundamental logic behind RoboForce with three key pricicples that should guide the creation of useful robots, ensuring they are not merely as novelties or human replicas, but as practical tools that address real human needs, at scale.
Principle 1: Solving Human Needs, Not Emulating Human Forms
The primary goal of robotics should not be to replicate human appearance or behaviors but to solve specific challenges faced by humans. This principle shifts the focus from creating humanoid robots to designing machines that enhance productivity and quality of life through practical solutions. Robots should be seen as tools to bridge the gap where human capabilities are limited, and solve human needs.
Principle 2: Direct and Simple Solutions
When addressing human needs, the design and functionality of robots should follow the mantra of "direct and simple" rather than "indirect and complicated". This approach minimizes potential malfunctions and learning curves for robots, saves cost of time-people-money to build business viable system at scale.
Principle 3: Leveraging Diverse Form Factors
Human history is a testament to our ability to create diverse tools to overcome our physical limitations. Similarly, robots should not be restricted to the human form; they can be much more versatile. By exploiting various form factors, robots can be optimized for ”Domain-Intelligence” with certain environments, business context and functionalities, vastly extending their usefulness beyond what any single human or machine could achieve alone.
This is the RoboForce way.
