I’m a founder who spends a lot of time around humanoid robots. And while today’s innovation is cutting-edge, the majority of today’s humanoids are militant, aggressively masculine, and plain creepy-looking.
Just look at what Tesla announced this week with its shift in strategy from producing EVs, to producing robots. Their Optimus general-purpose humanoid robot is a prime example of the physical design most of these robots share. They may be technically impressive, but they are not systems most people will feel comfortable sharing space with, let alone inviting into their homes.
