Humanoid robots can fail and do unsafe things in countless ways – hardware malfunctions, software glitches, cyberattacks, freak edge cases, or human operator error. A hundred years ago, there were 20 vehicle accident deaths per 100 million miles in the US. Today, that number is under 1.5 – but...

Trump understands what’s coming. The United States is going to lead the world in AI and robotics, especially humanoid robots, bc of Elon. Whoever leads humanoid robots and AI will define the next industrial era, and America has the pole position with Tesla. “Get somebody to start those robots and you’re going to have to improve the robots. But we’re going to have robotic factories plus manpower. So we’re going to have enough. We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, I guess you could say, employment. We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things. But the beauty is we’re going to have more jobs than we’ve ever had.” - Donald Trump

John: "Over in China, they’re doing robot Olympics. They’re doing marathons and all sorts of stuff." Figure founder Brett Adcock: “We look at the distribution of what humans do that is useful, and we [designed our humanoid] to do as much of that as possible.” “These things where we run marathons, or we do backflips, or we do karate moves—they’re not in the main part of the distribution. They don’t matter. And if you really want to size for those, you’re going to build a really expensive and unsafe robot that’s hard to manufacture.” “People want the $10,000 humanoid that can do general-purpose work. We want it to do laundry and dishes and be a companion. I want to ship robots at scale into the workforce to do logistics and healthcare, and build buildings and data centers.” "I don't need [our humanoid] to do backflips to do any of that work. I want robots building other robots."

Elon just dropped a MAJOR nugget on how Tesla is going to be training Optimus to do real world tasks. They are building an Optimus Academy, which is a large scale, dedicated real-world training facility to accelerate the development of Optimus. The Academy will deploy thousands of Optimus units, potentially 10,000 to 30,000 robots, in a controlled realistic environment where they perform self-play, experiment with tasks, iterate on behaviors, and continuously generate training data through trial and error. The Tesla bots will also run millions of simulations in Tesla’s high-fidelity physics-accurate engine, allowing Optimus to close the “sim-to-real gap” by using these real-world observations to refine and validate the simulations! “You’re actually highlighting an important limitation and difference from cars. We’ll soon have 10 million cars on the road. It’s hard to duplicate that massive training flywheel. For the robot, what we’re going to need to do is build a lot of robots and put them in kind of an Optimus Academy so they can do self-play in reality. We’re actually building that out. We can have at least 10,000 Optimus robots, maybe 20-30,000, that are doing self-play and testing different tasks. Tesla has quite a good reality generator, a physics-accurate reality generator, that we made for the cars. We’ll do the same thing for the robots. We actually have done that for the robots. So you have a few tens of thousands of humanoid robots doing different tasks. You can do millions of simulated robots in the simulated world. You use the tens of thousands of robots in the real world to close the simulation to reality gap. Close the sim-to-real gap.”

Touch used to be the final frontier for robots. Not anymore. DM-Hand1 by Hong Kong DaimonRobotics Technology combines vision and tactile sensing, letting machines detect texture, weight shifts, and movement in real time. This changes everything. Not just what robots can hold, but how they interact. They can now sort through clutter, handle fragile objects, and assist in tasks that used to need human touch. That includes healthcare. Elderly care. Rehab. Spaces that were once designed only for people… may not stay that way for long. We’re not just teaching robots to see. We’re teaching them to feel. Would you trust one?

Don't sleep on humanoid robots. Humanoid robots are going to play a profound role in our lives, and it will likely be sooner than most expect. I discuss some pivotal questions with jimmah in my effort to gain insight and clarity: - How do you evaluate Tesla's (and other companies') progress with humanoid robots? - Who will be the winner? Or will there be multiple big winners? - How long will it take until we see millions of humanoid robots produced annually? - What's harder for humanoid robots - the hardware of software? - How can we track progress across humanoid robot companies? - What's the next big milestones or demonstrations Tesla can show? If you're going to spend an hour listening/watching anything online this week, I highly recommend this!

ELON: EVERYONE ON EARTH WILL WANT THEIR OWN ROBOT “My prediction is the robots will actually make so many robots and AI that they will actually saturate all human needs, meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain point. There'll be more robots than people. I think everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one, because who wouldn't want a robot to, assuming it's very safe, watch over your kids, take care of your pet. If you have elderly parents, it's very difficult to take care of them. It's expensive, and there just aren't enough young people to take care of the old people. If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have. And I think we will have those things.” Source: Elon Musk Interview at WEF, January 2026

"We're not a consumer company, we're the shortest path to artificial labor." - Bernt Bornich, founder of 1X "It just happens to be that the shortest path is through consumer, because you need to live and learn among people." "Model intelligence comes from the diversity of your AI dataset. There isn't enough variance (if you are just) in a factory." "We want to deploy robots there (in homes), where we get data through a truly intelligent machine that doesn't just repeat a motion."

ELON MUSK: "Humanoid robotics will advance very quickly. We do have Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory, and later this year, they'll be doing more complex tasks. We would be selling humanoid robots to the public, when we are confident that there is very high reliability, very high safety, and the range of functionality is also very high. You can basically ask it to do anything you'd like."

Elon Musk: If you have billions of humanoid robots — and I think there will be — everyone on Earth is going to have one and want one. Assuming it’s very safe, who wouldn’t want a robot to watch over your kids, take care of your pets, and help with daily life? There just aren’t enough young people to take care of the old people. Taking care of elderly parents is difficult and expensive. A robot that could care for and protect an elderly parent would be an amazing thing to have. If you had a robot that could take care of your elderly parents, protect them, and be there 24/7, that would be great. That would be a truly life-changing technology for families around the world. I’m very optimistic about the future. I think we’re headed toward a future of amazing abundance — and that’s very cool. We are living in the most interesting time in history. On aging — I haven’t put much time into it yet, but I do think it’s a very solvable problem. When we figure out what causes aging, I think we’ll find it’s incredibly obvious. It’s not subtle.

ELON: WE’RE NOT YET ON THE KARDASHEV SCALE, BUT WE’RE GETTING THERE “You start getting into interesting questions like what's the ratio of humans to humanoid robots? I think it might be greater than one-to-one, because you could see a home use for robots, certainly industrial uses for robots, humanoid robots. I think we might exceed a one-to-one ratio of humanoid robots to humans. It's not even clear what an economy means at that point, since an economy is output per person times persons. But if output is much higher and there's no limit on persons, then what's the actual limit on the economy? We're still pretty far from Kardashev scales here, but we're getting there. So anyway, it's probably the least understood or appreciated part of what we're doing at Tesla, but will probably be worth significantly more than the car side of things long-term.” Source: Tesla Investor Day, March 2023
