Re: Humanoid and other robots.
This causes me to be even more positive about robotic lead expansion into the solar system. However, I am less sure about the persistence of humans in such a future.

As I said in the previous post, I think it would be quite workable to send various types of robots to Mars, and with a Starlink around Mars, they could build first primitive structure, but over time bootstrap up to full cities. At some point humans could be included.
I am going to suggest that the Asteroid belt is in the Solar System "Sun Belt". That is a somewhat arbitrary claim, but if a device is free floating in space, I feel, that by the time you get beyond the main asteroid belt, while solar would work well, you might wish to have some form of nuclear.
The space around Mars falls into that category, but on Mars itself, while solar may make a very big contribution, we probably at least want some Kilopower power sources from NASA to start with.
And I think that it will turn out to be capable of doing the same on certain asteroids, such as Ceres. And the point is that if robot labor works as well as we might think it will, it will be very practical to move large quantities of substances from other worlds to the Earth/Moon subsystem.
So, it will be rather a good civilization, if it does not kill itself.

Re: Humanoid and other robots.
It is nice to have something that is not Optimus. I am quite interested in Optimus, but other flavors may have a value of their own: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPBvUxKrLoQ&t=1529s Quote:

Re: Humanoid and other robots.
I think that this is kind of a good find: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … 70d50110a0 Quote:

I do think that this moves in the direction of having a more healthy population. Both the avoid the spread of things like Covid-19, and if done correctly to provide improved nutrition.
And with the possibility of lower prices, ultimately.
Although eating can often be a social event, even so, "Makers" that create food items may use a humanoid robot and a robo-taxi to deliver food to people's homes.
So, people who do not value cooking much, might not even need a kitchen, or not much of one.
I seem to recall that Romans, generally did not do their own cooking but would go and get something. Not sure.
But rather than TV dinners, people might have delivery, which could be healthier, provided that good standards were maintained.
So, could this cut the cost of food in half? Well maybe if you are having the food made for you. But if you are fixing the food yourself then there is a cost of your time and labor.
But this is an interesting "Other" robot sort of thing.

Re: Humanoid and other robots.
For Void re topic:
The link below jumped out at me from the computer screen and begged to be shown to Void.
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/next … 55991.html
The article lists three companies that are (apparently) competing in this space.
I expect the list of competing companies is ** way ** short, but the three listed are likely a good start for an investor
