By ChatGPT, AI influenced everywhere, and by economic impact, AI is developed rapidly.
For humanoids, that kind of influencing and economic impact area is being sought. For that kind of area, I feel teleoperated extreme tourism has profound merits.
In this article, I compare extreme tourism with factories, warehouses, and housework. Moreover, I compare with sports too.
Factories, warehouses, and housework are focused as initial deployment area. But these areas need high precision and reliability.
On the other hand, teleoperated extreme tourism and sports allow errors. Therefore, these areas is suitable for humanoids to be deployed.
Humanoids sports spectacle is also focused in these days. Boxing and marathon can be profitable.
But these areas can not offer interactive experience like ChatGPT.
On the other hand, teleoperated extreme tourism by humanoids can offer interactive experience.
Therefore, extreme tourism can be expected to be influential.
As ChatGPT moment, teleoperated extreme tourism by humanoids allows errors and offers initiative activity.
But there are some challenges for implementation.
First, humanoid’s resilience to environment can be problem.
Second, cost of transportation of humanoids and safety execution can be problem.
Third, failure rate can be problem.
Where is the area that can cope with these problems ? This is the future work.
