So you will have low-paid Africans from 3rd world countries tele-operating a robots in rich peoples houses doing chores?
When comes to lower part it’s always bipedal (hard to balance) or wheels (low capabilities). Why no one makes 4-6 legs, insect like? That seems like an easier problem to solve while gives much better mobility.
Entomophobia/arachnophobia is far too common for giant bug-like robots in folks' bedrooms.
2027 will be the year of the robots. I also saw Tesla is ramping up to make millions of Optimus robots. And Amazon bought Fauna robotics which I predict we will start seeing "last 100 ft" deliveries soon. Amazon's Rivian packmobile will pull up to a block and 5 Fauna robots (they are short) will jump out and start delivering packages to the neighborhood. The robots are coming...
Do we have any evidence that Tesla is actually working on manufacturing millions of robots?
What doesn't make sense to me is the cost. Yes, $8000 is probably low for this robot but it's a reasonable price range for something like this. The AI credits though? I know vision LLMs are not cheap, they're not going to run something like Llama3.2vision on every frame. Very curious about the embodied AI architecture that this is going to use, and how it can get cheap enough that it's not going to use $500/month in electricity every month.
Surrogate slavery is going to be a large business one day. If you are telling me that one day I'll have a robot that cooks, cleans, is a personal assistant, a therapist. Eventually it'll be a chauffeur, babysitter, and obviously sex slave. Why wouldn't i pay 50000 for that, besides the obvious "you are a creep" like why do I care when it's coming and market forces are going to make it an indistinguishable substitute…
> a robot that cooks, cleans, is a personal assistant, a therapist. Eventually it'll be a chauffeur, babysitter, and obviously sex slave. Used to be called "a wife", before emancipation. Seriously though, the future is made of human beings more and more isolated from each other because technology will give us all that we used to get from other people, with none of the annoyances. Each the king or queen of their solip…

Especially because this thing is already $8k, I imagine they have already done some substantial price optimization.

Everything about this product looks terrible. Must operate on a perfectly flat surface. My roomba could probably handle a larger carpet curb than that top-heavy thing. Head and eyes appear to be at human crotch level for some reason... gross. What a waste of engineering talent.
