Robotics & AI Market Overview - The robotics industry is still in its early stages, with current robot performance being somewhat underwhelming [1] - Improvements in AI will enhance robot coordination and functionality [1] - A surge in retail interest is expected once robots become affordable for household chores [1] - A "half decent" humanoid robot currently costs $10,000, considered expensive but not prohibitive [1] Decentralized Physical AI (DePAI) & Crypto - Speculative vaporware in the DePAI space is anticipated, potentially driving a significant AI cycle [2] - Focus should be on DePAI projects with real revenues and product-market fit outside of crypto [2] - Projects like Aethir ($160 million ARR), Peaq, and USDai are noteworthy [3] - Crypto vehicles offer access to private rounds of traditional robotics companies like Apptronik and Figure [3] Future Outlook - An AI/DeAI/DePAI supercycle is expected within the next 12 months, possibly sooner if macro conditions improve [4]
