Part 10/14:
The Need for Focused Use Cases and Incremental Approach
Given the monumental challenges, experts suggest a pragmatic approach: starting with narrow, task-specific robots and gradually expanding capabilities. For example, robots that can reliably take out the trash or assist with basic household tasks without needing full autonomy could prove valuable and generate revenue early.
Such incremental deployment allows for learning, hardware refinement, and software improvements, eventually paving the way toward more general-purpose humanoids. It also aligns with the idea that specialized robots may be more practical than complexity-blinded all-purpose systems in the near term.
