I've been generally curious about the benefits of the humanoid robot form factor.<p>I'll admit I don't know much about the state of the enterprise robotics/automation market but it would seem like the market would be limited by the fact that:
1.) The companies able to afford such robots would have much higher throughput capacity requirements and would want to setup much more customized automation.
2.) The companies in the sweet spot in terms of lower throughput capacity requirements would not be able to afford the upfront cost of such robots.<p>I think the primary use case would be perhaps if these could actually get in the sub $100K-$150K range end cost wise which seems a bit far off given the complexity I'm seeing here. Perhaps the idea is to go for the long game?<p>It feels like a version with just the top half of the humanoid would be more interesting if it could cut costs particularly since this thing likely needs to be tethered for reliable power and communications in a factory automation setting.
Conveniently not labeled that the video is all at 4x speed. Using the “playback speed” menu to watch at 0.25x makes the human’s movements much more realistic and the robots movements much less impressive.
The comments on Youtube proof that either:<p>1) Tesla is only good at creating SPAMbots
2) Google owns lots of Tesla stocks
3) Humanity is completely braindead<p>or all of the above. lmao. :'O<p>The Video is CLEARLY fake AND Tesla having such huge amounts of money doing such a bad job at CGI makes me really wonder how stupid people have become. Lots of glitches, no need to be an expert to see that.
Tesla can’t solve self driving, but it will produce a bot which can function in an environment which is a hundred times more open and chaotic than a road system? I don’t think so.
