New Generation of Electric Robots
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.
