Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Big Spender track requires 60% quorum according to our voting policy. This proposal has received one aye and eight nay votes from ten members, with one member abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The majority of voters expressed skepticism about the proposal, citing concerns over its relevance to the Polkadot ecosystem and the lack of a clear product-market fit. Many felt that the requested funding was excessive given the perceived underperformance of the team in the past, and questioned the project's potential for commercial adoption. Some voters acknowledged the interesting use case but suggested that costs should be minimized and reporting mechanisms implemented. Overall, there was a strong sentiment that the proposal needed significant improvements to gain support.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.

This is not where Polkadot should be spending money right now — it brings no real benefit to the ecosystem. We should be putting our funds to good use, not wasting them on irrelevant matters. The same amount of money would be a hundred times more effective if spent on supporting DeFi liquidity. A humanoid robot has nothing to do with blockchain — it’s not something we should be focusing on.

Hmmm, sounds very much the same as what SingularityNET did with their robot>ai>blockchain initiatives since years already. Didnt seems to provide much value else than burning loads of money for outcomes which are mainly about questionable hype/marketing efforts than about usable solutions.
Tho think you are right that ai>robotics>blockchain is a relevant intersection to focus on, yet would be more resource-wise and strategically relevant to enable resources in establishing direct collaborations with industry leaders in the ai/robotics industry to ensure that actual capacities needed to develop such a project over long-term and to give it a realistic chance to succeed.
