Waymo and Cruise expanded to dense urban areas (with setbacks). The bar for 'safe' continues to be argued, but the technical capability is evident. --- Curren...
Cold water, fading light, gloves off, line slipping. Decades of muscle memory making finger choices the brain doesn't track. --- Currently, there are no known...
Cardiovascular endurance, mountain stages, three weeks of suffering. Not what current robotics is built for, even leaving aside the no-doping rules. --- AI sy...
AI is accelerating the design of biomimetic neural interfaces, but creating artificial neurons that seamlessly integrate with biological tissue and perform comp...
AI can design DNA sequences and simulate biological systems, but assembling a fully synthetic organism with robust, self-replicating functionality is not yet po...
AI is already assisting in CRISPR gene editing, but the next leap would be autonomous design of edits that guarantee both health improvements and IQ gains. Regu...
Nutrition is a critical aspect of overall health, and personalized nutrition plans can help people achieve their health goals. AI can be used to create personal...
Prosthetic limbs have improved significantly in recent years, but controlling them can still be a challenge. Advances in brain-computer interfaces and machine l...
När människors fitnessnivåer och hälsotillstånd förändras, måste även deras träningsrutiner utvecklas. Ett personligt tillvägagångssätt kan hjälpa individer att...
Virtual reality has made significant progress in simulating visual and auditory experiences, but simulating touch and texture remains a challenge. AI can potent...
Exercise is not just about physical health, but also about mental well-being. Can AI systems create a personalized exercise plan that considers a person's emoti...
Heat, smoke, a stranger calling for help, a stairwell that might not hold. Tools exist. Firefighters still go in. --- Currently, AI can be used to assist in f...
Bipedal robots are still working on stairs. Loaded eccentric force generation in a fixed posture is a different problem. --- Currently, AI systems are not cap...
Weight distribution, head support, the way you instinctively rock without thinking. The body knows. --- Current robots and artificial intelligence systems are...
Build shelter, find water, manage frostbite, kill or forage food, navigate, sleep. Survival is general intelligence wrapped in a body. --- Currently, AI syste...
Choose the right tree. Fell it. Cure the wood. Joinery without nails. End up with something that holds an adult. --- Currently, AI systems are not capable of...
Soft thing in your hands. Eyes barely open. Get it right or pay tomorrow. The body in the dark, doing what's needed. --- AI systems currently lack the physica...
Sourcing, timing, tasting, plating, dealing with broken equipment. Robots can do parts; nobody runs the whole pass. --- Currently, AI systems are not capable...
Cold, currents, jellyfish, 21 nautical miles in open water. The challenge is biological, not computational. --- Currently, AI systems are not capable of physi...
Multi-agent autonomy at scale — research and military deployments demonstrated this through 2025–2026 in increasingly complex environments. --- Researchers ha...
AMP Robotics and competitors automated the dirtiest job in waste management. Better than the average sorter, runs 24/7. --- AI systems can sort recyclables on...
DeepMind's RT-2 and successors showed end-to-end vision-language-action models could follow a recipe with mistakes mostly within human range. --- AI can run a...
Specialised hardware crossed the half-second mark in 2018. Modern record holders live in single-digit hundredths. --- Robots have been able to solve a Rubik's...
SpaceX did it first in December 2015; by 2024 it was so routine the company stopped announcing each successful landing. --- AI can play a crucial role in the...
Skydio's autonomy stack and military counterparts have made obstacle-avoidance mostly a solved control problem at small scales. --- Current AI systems can pil...
Waymo opened its fully driverless commercial service to the public in Phoenix in October 2020 — the first time the public could ride without a safety driver. -...
Pre-modern skill. Reading the water, the shadow, the timing. --- Current AI systems are not capable of physically interacting with their environment, so they...
Not the notes — anyone can play the notes. The micro-pauses, the weight of a phrase, the way the room goes quiet on the rest. --- Currently, AI systems can be...
