Division of labor happens in factory such that most individual humans will have a very simple straight forward job. This robot is just for that. Its likely meant to speed up their own factory production first and foremost, then scale it to other avenues. This is just a natural extension of their own inhome AI software. It makes sense.

At the right price, I could see Optimus becoming a household helper for consumer purchase. I could buy a singular robot mower, or I could buy an Optimus to mow my lawn,. And then it could also trim my bushes, mop the floor, clean/stack my dishes, do my laundry, etc. But, really depends on the price. Tesla (really, Musk) claims around $20k per bot. I don’t know if I’d want one at the price. But maybe when I’m old and frail.

As far as i am aware, they are also using the tesla self driving hardware. So this is essentially a really small and really slow Tesla-car with much less destructive power than a regular one. It is a great application of the already developed self driving hard- and software, as long it isn’t fully safe to be used in a self driving car.

I think it could be surprisingly useful after 10 more years of iteration. Full self driving is a good analogy… it’s taken a few years to perfect, and it’s still not 100% there (after about 7 years?), but the rate at which it’s improving and gaining capabilities is just amazing.

There should be some legislation on what type of work these can do. The sensible purpose would be to do tasks that would be dangerous for people.
For NASA, sending a robot to perform an EVA task would prevent a human life being put at risk. Maybe such a robot could be managed / driven remotely like an avatar or drone.

What I am really looking forward to see is when a robot can do all the housework and take care of the elderly. Since no one (human) really wants to do such job and mainly because of low pay and physically demanding, I can see such robot can solve this problem, especially many countries have aging population issues.

Who thought it was a good idea to put background chime+drum music against the people talking about it? Apparently you somehow think that improved the presentation, instead of simply being distracting, annoying, and making hearing what was said more difficult.

I can see a future where bots like this can serve humans in the workspaces where humans are exposed to hazards today. I think a robot is an obvious choice when they’re available to enter areas with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and/or explosive hazards present. Why expose humans if you don’t have to? So, Tesla is trying to make it, so we don’t have to. That’s cool!

Considering the U.N. predicts that the world’s population is expected to peak at about 10 billion in the mid-2080s, and some forecasters see this earlier, in the ’60s or ’70s, the time will come in just 40-60 years that we will need robots to do the more menial tasks humans now do. And the transition can be gradual, as humans will remain far more productive for decades, while an increasingly large part of the human population ages out of work and will, in turn, increase the need for labor as they require care. So, while there will certainly be some dislocations, some shifts in what humans do, there will remain plenty for humans to do as robots become more capable and enhance our productivity.
The key will remain focusing, as we have so far failed to do, on guiding the development of the “AI” driving robots and other devices to ensure it develops in a way complimentary to humans.

Using AI and training it on how an actual human moves was a clever idea rather than attempting to manually program in those movements by hand. Still, we’ve seen robots for many years and they’ve all failed to actually be useful to the commonfolk, and it will be many more years until they get it right. I’m not afraid of a “Detroit: Become Human” situation anytime soon.
