“ Tesla displayed its Optimus humanoid inside a clear box, motionless next to its cars.”
I’m just amazed it wasn’t a dancer in spandex again
I think this humanoid robot will be Elon’s 'Sinclair C5" moment.
Dude I’d totally ride a C5 in 2024, that thing looks like it’s a perfect alternative to those scooters that are everywhere. At least now you could use lithium batteries and beefier motors instead of the garbage they had back then.

Just get a recumbent e-bike and slap some paneling around it.
Wait, you mean that person in a silver jumpsuit is competing against robots?
Why would they name their robot after the second best autobot?
Everyone knows Ultra Magnus is the best one.
um no. jetfire!
What even is the purpose of humanoid robots? Is there even a use case for it?

Honestly I find it really hard to imagine a humanoid robot (at least without muscle induced mobility) maintaining an aircraft/plumbing and so on.
I can imagine the use case. I don’t see this tech being anywhere close to maturity in this decade though. The amount of processing power would be CRAZY to deal with these tasks, no? Computer vision + motor skills. Add actual mobility to that. What would be the power source? Definitely not a battery! Would it be like a cable connected to a wall outlet or something?
Running cost of a robot is far lower than the running cost of a human.
Tax the shit out of them!
That’s a terrible idea.
Are we meant to be taxing excel and automated telephone exchanges, what about the printing press or solar panels?
All those have lower running costs than industries they replaced that had more workers.
😏
Creating mass unemployment.
does boston dynamics have any significant competition?
