Elon Musk claims Tesla will start using humanoid robots next year
- Finnucane 2y agoFacebook is way ahead on this--humanoid robots have been running the company for years.
- xenospn 2y agoI tried coming up with a thoughtful comment, but all I could think of was “lol”.
- taylodl 2y agoIf Musk says they will be "fully available" in 2026 for $20,000 - then does that mean they'll actually be available in 2031 for $60,000?
- Zigurd 2y agoFunny but true. Why does Elon enter businesses where his venture is subscale and late? Tesla and Spacex succeeded because they are at the forefront. He seems to want breakthroughs on a shoestring.
- lawn 2y agoAnd they'll be available with several gotchas and fine prints.
- taylodl 2y agoThat's another use for the Cybertruck - to haul your Tesla humanoid robot to the service center for its recalls! :)
- tonetegeatinst 2y agoWhen I see the humanoid robots, I think theirs totally potential. Looking at stuff like general dynamics robots and what university students are doing using computer vision and just a robotic hand is amazing. I always find it curious how most don't mention the power issue. Sure for the mechanical parts you need power but I'd think it would be more power efficient to offload some of the computing to a small 4U server. Think long term conversation storage or storing the lidar map of a building. Solving the power limit is definatlg one of the biggest issues. Sure on a factory floor you might get away with overhead power and data wires, but thats not feasible in a home and basically teathers the robot in place. Image a more efficient humanoid robot with human like features and better mobility. Now imagine using a standard Tesla charger you can use on any electric vehicle that has become the US standard.
