Tesla bot is another marketing gimmick, but if someone going to invest in making better robotic arms, mimicking the mechanics of animal movement or inventing new flexible & light-weight materials and batteries, than regardless of the state of "AI" it has immediate applications. By the time actual AI will be developed (by neuroscientists building a model of animal cognition) we will have a realistic android body to plug it into with all the mechanics, motor controls and materials science worked out. AI and robotic engineering/biomechanics are largely orthogonal and can develop in parallel.
