„Humans self-heal. Robots don’t. Why OR positioning principles matter for your household robot.”(reddit.com)

I work as a surgical positioning specialist in an OR. Every day, my job is to make sure patients are positioned correctly during surgery. Wrong positioning = nerve damage, pressure necrosis, joint stress. Even then – the human body can compensate. It regenerates blood flow, heals tissue, adapts. A household robot can’t do any of that. Think about it like a motorcycle or a car: • Store your bike wrong over winter → flat tires, dry seals, dead battery • Wrong tire pressure for months → uneven wear, handling issues • A robot stored or „parked” incorrectly → joint stress, cable fatigue, sensor drift, premature wear Household robots like NEO, Tesla Optimus or LG CLOiD are coming to our homes within the next 2–3 years. They’ll cost $10,000–$20,000+. Nobody is talking about how to store, position and maintain them correctly at home. That’s the gap I’m here to fill – applying 2+ years of OR knowledge to household robotics. Question for the community: Would you trust a $20,000 robot to just „stand in the corner” without thinking about positioning and wear? submitted by /u/Commercial_Towel_352 [link] [Kommentare]
