Beijing's 2025 Half Marathon brought about two dozen humanoid robots to the race, with teleoperators running alongside their remote controlled humanoids. Many robots ran hot, fell repeatedly and were pretty slow movers with max speeds of 8km/h. The 2026 Beijing Half Marathon, taking place on April 13th, will be vastly different. 20+ humanoid robotics teams had already trials for their robots, but his time, they will run fully autonomously. And the first videos that surfaced from the trials show some amazing progress in speed and endurance.

I read a lot about how Waymos and other robotaxis are blocking traffic, drive ways, block streets while double parking etc., and some regulators and experts keep raising their voices about how awful and potentially dangerous that is. So they started to register cases of robotaxis behaving bad to prove their point. BUT.... What I am missing in that discussion are multiple things: - they are not using the same scrutiny for human driven vehicles. What are the actual numbers of humans parking illegally, blocking traffic, stopping in drive ways and potentially preventing emergency providers from helping people in need? - why are we talking about PUDOs (dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones), while we are not going first principle and ask "why do we allow so many people park their private property for cheap of even for free on a public space?" The mayor of the Spanish town Pontevedra, who in 1999 banned cars from the city center, said it clearly: "It is not part of my job as mayor to make sure you find a parking spot. To me, that’s like buying a cow or a refrigerator and then asking me where to put it." No parked cars also means enough PUDOs for robotaxis. Here an video from Birmingham showing the problem today, not with robotaxis, but with human driven cars.

Tesla FSD Testberichte aus Deutschland VERSUS Patzige Reaktionen des Handelsblatt US-Bureau Chief des Handelsblatts, Felix Holtermann, schlussfolgert nach Gesprächen über die letzten vier Jahre mit vielen Forschern und Experten, mit Musk-Konkurrenten und -Fans, mit aktuellen wie ehemaligen Mitarbeitern und mit Hinterbliebenen, die Tesla FSD wäre ohne Fahrerüberwachung nicht sicher, nicht genehmigungsfähig – und gefährdet Menschenleben. Albert Einstein antwortete auf eine Kritik seiner Relativitätstheorie mit dem Titel "Hundert Autoren gegen Einstein": "Hätte ich unrecht, würde ein einziger Autor genügen, um mich zu widerlegen." Warum die durchgehend negative Berichterstattung zu neuen Technologien durch deutsche Medien - und hier federführend durch das Handelsblatt - ein echtes Problem für Deutschland ist, und warum sich Journalisten an der deutschen Misere nicht aus der Verantwortung schleichen können.

There are days, when you talk about autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots and stuff like this, and then there is the occasional day where the stuff of romantic and adventure novels hit you unexpected. The skeleton of Charles de Batz de Castelmore d’Artagnan, known by Alexander Dumas' story of the "Three Musketeers", has been found. WHAT???? How dare the Dutch kill my childhood hero! It's time to go to Maastricht! https://lnkd.in/gWV3ZiUw

How do you respond to somebody claiming to have read my LinkedIn profile and claiming to be impressed and having the right job for me? Easy! Claim that you have read the job posting and claiming some fantasy $ numbers that presumably the job posting mentions. If they can make claims, I can make that too... Waiting eagerly now for the response and job contract ;-)

What made my day, and this already early Monday morning? Feedback such as this, for a remote talk I conducted this past Friday about humanoid robots. My audience were employees of an innovative German company, and they are looking into new trends. --- Dear Mario, We’ve had many presentations before, including some by well-known authors and scholars, but yours really inspired us—thank you so much! We all enjoyed it very much, and we’ll be exploring the topic further, starting with the next LOT 😊 --- What makes your day? (Don't say "bikini posts"!)

Online Foresight Mindset Workshop! Es gibt nicht nur eine Zukunft, es gibt mehrere mögliche Zukünfte. Manche sind wahrscheinlicher, manche bevorzugter. Das hängt von unseren Entscheidungen ab. Bereits jetzt vorliegende Signale, Shifts und exponentielle Entwicklungen erlauben uns, Szenarien zu entwickeln, wie Zukünfte der nächsten 5 bis 15 Jahre aussehen können um unsere Organisationen und Mitarbeiter entsprechend vorzubereiten und Möglichkeiten frühzeitig zu ergreifen. Das ist bekannt als Future/Foresight Mindset. Interessiert an der Zukunft? Hier hilft mein Online-Kurs. Basierend auf meinem Buch – Foresight Mindset – zeigen mein KI-Roboter AlphaSophia und ich wie man mit dem Future Mindset die Zukunft mit Methoden wie Backcasting, 2x2-Matrix oder STÖÖP die Zukunft zumindest ein bisschen vorhersagen kann.
