Humanoid ‘Tesla Bot’ likely to launch next year, says Elon Musk

- foxyv 5y agoPersonally I think humanoids make terrible robots unless you want to make a robot that is really good at marathon running or something. A gorilla bot may make sense, or a dog/horse/quadruped robot even, but humanoids aren't the best platform for most stuff you would want a robot to do. Too unbalanced, not enough traction, too complicated, too fragile. I'm not surprised that the most successful robots are either just giant arms, wheeled vehicles, or dogs on springy legs. Humanoids are just so difficult!
