The Herculean Challenge of Building General Humanoid Robots and Tesla's Future Vision
The pursuit of developing fully general humanoid robots stands as one of the most ambitious and potentially transformative ventures in AI and robotics today. While markets like robo taxis offer significant, but ultimately limited, opportunities due to market saturation, humanoid robots promise a vast, almost infinite, array of applications ranging from household chores to complex industrial tasks. Yet, experts warn that achieving truly general, autonomous humanoid robots is an order of magnitude—possibly ten thousand to a million times—more difficult than developing autonomous robo taxis.
