Any innovation that helps us humans and the world around us is truly admirable.

I'm in my 40s and get arthritis once or twice a year and these robots will greatly help me move around when I'm in my 70s and older. Of course, once the AI revolution starts, my robot will probably attack me. But I'll be too old to care by then. Good luck young people of the world! 😂

[Travlinmo]

I am a believer that these are coming. They will come fastest to manufacturers where robotic safety is generally already standardized. Then to industry and warehousing less ready, and later to homes. It will take longer than the companies advertise but less long than society is prepared for.

[zishengchia]

Gonna be like star wars droid like robots.

[seansmith]

That X1 Neo seemed to me the most human-like in its movements.

[ALIAHSAN-jj]

Just wait until they say “No” for the first time.

[wonkyganu]

I remember when Radio Shack sold a robotic arm, at the time I would have been happy with that. We've come a long way from that.

[ucsbchui]

I really need one cooking cleaning and laundry

[zildev]

Why not selling these robots in monthly subscription plan? More people can afford it that way.

[johngraves]

Anthro-style robots are a sight to behold!

[rogimx]

What happens if someone hacks this thing and uses it to commit a murder?

[happypepper]

So ... are you telling me that my future self driving car will be also my vocal assistant and my personal robot who is just switching bodies?

[Michael-onrx]

You can tell this guy REALLY doesn't want to say anything positive about Tesla. Elon has confidently said that the self-driving software can be retrained for use in humanoid robots, it wasn't Tesla just being like "Hey, we should totally try this and see if it works". And then he also takes a jab at Tesla for not having their robots be autonomous at the AI event. But here's the deal, Tesla is ahead of everyone in real world AI (driving software) and that's just a side step from training a humanoid robot. Boston Dynamics has been doing this for decades. Tesla has been doing humanoid robots for less than 3 years. And no one is even close with self-driving. It's only a matter of time.

[Retro.Cat.]

Damn, what used to be science fiction is on its fast track to reality, starting to believe we’d actually really get flying cars at some point if robots are really getting this close to human anonymity.

[rhyno]

That's the go, build more robots, take peoples jobs. I've watched I, Robot and this is exactly what is going to happen.

[GideonGreene-qmco]

Imagine making an ai smart gnome, it would be called a Nifty Odd-Jobbing Robot, or Norbot for short. You would start a business called Gnome Improvements, where you hire Norbot to renovate people’s gardens. He’ll dig, paint, plant, snip, push, pull, saw, and chop. He’ll break his little back, and never stop to have a brew because he’s got a battery pack.

[nextgenai-uq]

It's crazy how these robots are making incredible progress in no time. In the next 5 years, they will be capable of matching us.

[tycrittenden]

I’m personally glad that we are still a long way from terminator or any robot revolutions lol. I’m actually intrigued by the fact that there are people that are wanting these robots to help out every day lives. I’m excited to see what the future holds.

[juliahello]

Tesla’s robots weren’t autonomous in the public event for safety reasons. AFAIK, no robotics company has allowed its humanoid robots to interact freely with the public. Humanoid robots weigh 100+ pounds. If it fell on someone it could do damage. Dog robots are close to the ground and don’t weigh much so it’s ok for them to be in public.

[marccracchiolo]

From a legal standpoint this will be interesting. It will be like your cell phone you can own it but if you open or alter it you void the warranty. At first I didn’t like this but given the complexity and security concerns I now understand the company’s position though sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to change the battery. The company will have to give owners a list of things we’re allowed to do and not do. There will have to be laws for deliberate altering one of these in a dangerous way.
