Boston Dynamics and Tesla unveil new electric robots with improved agility, longer battery life, and AI capabilities. The commercial version of the Atlas robot is targeting a four-hour battery life, while Tesla's Optimus Gen 2 prototype aims for a sub $20,000 price tag. These advancements raise questions about the potential transition of robots to non-industrial and residential spaces, with considerations about cost and practicality. While the technology is promising, it may still be years away from widespread adoption.
