We sat down at the table with Dar\u00edo Samaniego, CEO of SynergyTech and official distributor of advanced robotics (Unitree), and a very special guest who doesn't breathe but does respond: the robot Aebor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you were one of those who thought the arrival of robots was just movie thing, this episode is made for you. We bring you some of the keys that Juan Marcelo Gait\u00e1n was able to draw during the interview, but we recommend you watch it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jjAXHGKT9sY&amp;lc=Ugw-tValN-j0lLNzsGl4AaABAg\">in full on our YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will robots replace us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is growing concern about the future of work with technologies like AI and robots, but who better to answer than a humanoid robot? When asked if they will replace us, Aevo's answer is blunt: \"there is no battle, without a human behind me, I am just metal\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 43 joints and the ability to make thousands of decisions per second, its message is clear: <strong>it hasn't come to replace, but to extend human potential<\/strong>. For Aenor, future success will depend on attitude: \"the human who understands machines will win, and the one who is afraid of them will lose\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dario Samaniego explains that we are designing robots based on ourselves. Given this, it has always been said that what differentiates humans from machines is their creative capacity and intelligence. But Juan Marcelo wonders, if we create them in our image and likeness, will they end up surpassing us in these areas too? For Dar\u00edo Samaniego, when that happens, it will be the true turning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Dar\u00edo insists, the reality is that machines won\u2019t replace people; trades will change. While some jobs will disappear, many others will emerge. In fact, Dar\u00edo Samaniego points out a current trend: \"employers ask to put a robot where they have no staff\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jobs that will tend to disappear are those that require brute force, are harmful to the worker's health or requires a massive data collection. For better understanding, Dar\u00edo gives some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dangerous tasks.<\/strong> They are used in high-risk environments such as chemical industries or fires. A robot can go where a person shouldn\u2019t, but it\u2019s key to understand that this doesn\u2019t eliminate the firefighter's job, but rather turns them into a robot controller.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Intensive data collection.<\/strong> Agro-robots, for example, are already being used in harvests for tasks such as collecting plantation data on pests, excess moisture, or fruit quantity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What current robots are like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Dar\u00edo has explained that in recent years the robotics sector has taken a step further, as much more optimal articulation and mechanization have been achieved thanks to the strategic combination of three key elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Advanced computing power. <\/strong>They have sufficient processing power for their tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optimized battery.<\/strong> They have an improved energy source.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quality materials.<\/strong> Their mechanical capacity is based on the use of good materials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>But what happens with the risk of hacking? Dar\u00edo addressed concerns about the security of these systems. He explained the need for a solid security system that prevents unauthorized modification of programming. To achieve this, Unitree has developed an <strong>\"encapsulated system\"<\/strong>: an artificial intelligence created from scratch within a closed system, which eliminates \"open lines\" through which third parties could infiltrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about the future of robotics, what current robots are like and what coexisting with them will be like, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jjAXHGKT9sY&amp;lc=Ugw-tValN-j0lLNzsGl4AaABAg\">don't miss the latest episode of HoM<\/a>: Humano o M\u00e1quina on our YouTube channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are robotst here to replace us?
