#7.5 Tesla’s Humanoid Robot: Can Elon Musk’s Optimus Revolutionize Everyday Life or Is It Just Hype

In partnership with

Humanoid Robots: Part 2—What Can They Really Do?

Welcome back! In part one, we explored Elon Musk’s big promises for Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus. Now, let’s dive deeper into what these robots can really do in our homes.

We’ve touched on the vision and price tag, but today we’ll break down their actual usefulness. Spoiler: it’s not as revolutionary as you might think.

Let’s get into it!

Overview of Humanoid Robot Skills

Here’s the thing—most of the tasks we dream about robots doing? Well, we’ve already got machines for that.

• Serve coffee? Your coffee machine does that like a pro. No need to mess with success.

• Laundry? A robot could toss the clothes in, but the washer does the rest.

• Mowing or vacuuming? Been there, done that—robots for those tasks already exist and they’re way cheaper!

• Cooking? Too unpredictable. Are we really expecting robots to cook like chefs? That’s what your trusty Thermomix is for.

Now for the more mundane tasks:

• Taking out the trash? Okay, this I can get behind. Nobody loves trash duty—unless you're looking for an excuse to step outside for a smoke.

• Ironing? If it avoids creasing jeans at the seams, then fine.

• Dusting? Honestly, does anyone care about this? The value here is next to zero.

After running through all this, I’m left asking myself—what’s the real value of these robots in our homes? Sure, they might be fun, but are they truly useful for day-to-day tasks? Not really. We need specialized robots for specific industries—warehouses, logistics, sorting centers—places where they’re already making huge strides. But for our homes? They fall a bit flat.

So, What’s the Verdict on Humanoid Robots?

Are these robots pointless? Not entirely.

Yes, the hype around humanoid robots has gotten a bit out of hand, but what Tesla’s doing—spearheaded by Elon Musk—is still important. Why? Because it’s not just about putting a robot in your living room. It's about showing us the future. Musk is brilliant at breaking the mold and getting us to think differently, showing what’s possible when we push the boundaries of innovation.

Humanoid robots serve as a North Star for the industry—a vision that inspires innovation, even if they’re not something we need in every home right now. They’re helping us uncover exciting new technologies, but they shouldn’t be the ultimate goal.

So, how do you feel about humanoid robots? Are they the future of home tech, or just another expensive, high-tech gimmick? Let’s talk about it below!
