Although many advanced humanoid robots were showcased at CES, Reachy Mini seems to have become the real focus. From Jensen's keynote speech stage to practical applications in photobooths, this robot's presence far exceeds that of other competitors. Most importantly, it breaks the monopoly of high-end AI robots and becomes the first artificial intelligence robot that ordinary users can purchase. This democratized hardware innovation approach seems to be changing the industry's understanding of AI robot accessibility.

I'm all about the democratization of robots, but I'm just worried it'll end up being another IQ tax harvest.

Mainstream robots? Fine, now you don't need to spend millions to play with AI. It really feels satisfying.

Honestly, I didn't expect Reachy Mini to be so popular. It seems that making it accessible to the general public really hit the pain points for everyone.

To be honest, Reachy Mini really has some substance; it's finally not just a game only big companies can afford to play. Is it democratized? That's what they say, but is the price really affordable? That's the key. I didn't watch Jensen's keynote, but since he was able to get on stage and speak, it shows they do have some real material. Whether Reachy Mini becomes popular or not, the real question is: can it actually be used, not just a display piece. I'm a bit worried that products like this might become the next hype target. Is the era of robot popularization here? I think it's doubtful; we need to wait and see. It's interesting; finally someone thought of creating something affordable for ordinary people. It's said to be democratized in a nice way, but in reality, has the cost really come down? Will Reachy Mini fizzle out halfway? I bet this kind of startup won't last too long. It's just talk at CES; the real test is after it hits the market.
