As some have since pointed out, Tesla could have just purchased Boston Dynamics two years ago if it wanted to skip a decade of research and development, and would now be leading this industry. During the demo, Tesla's Optimus robot did not exceed any of the feats we've seen over the years from Asimo or the variety of the Boston Dynamics robots, and Musk never gave a clear timeline for the project's evolution from prototype to production—or the actual utility it could eventually offer buyers."The importance of Optimus will become apparent in the coming years," Musk promised earlier this year.
It's also worth noting none of the automakers with plenty of experience building robots of various types have yet tofrom these programs, and so far none of them have offered a humanoid robot to the general public. Robotics researchers have also often noted that humanoid robots, despite looking futuristic, are actually not an optimal shape for working in manufacturing settings, where quite a few robots are currently used.
Moreover, the debut of the robot late on a Friday had a different feel to it than the company's other presentations—and none of the spectacle of Tesla's past new vehicle reveals, the last of which involved the
