The humanoid robot suddenly "rolled up".
One
In August 2021, at the company's first AI Day, Elon Musk announced to the world for the first time that Tesla had entered the field of humanoid robots. The way the robot debuts opens is a man in a jumpsuit dancing awkwardly on stage for a while, and then Elon shouts "thank you".
On Wednesday 17, Boston Dynamics, a leader in the robotics industry, announced that it would bid farewell to the hydraulically driven robot Atlas, which had been developed for ten years, and replaced it with a new generation of electric Atlas. The way this robot "opens" is somewhat surprising... Oh no, it's scary: all of a sudden, the humanoid robot "rolls up".
The Boston Dynamics official on the X platform tweeted this video while its mind moved, accompanied by a short article: "We guarantee that this is not a person in a jumpsuit." ”
This sentence may have ignited Elon, causing his passive ability "Taunt" to uncontrollably uncontrollably unleash and reply with a beautiful picture:

Derek Wall, an angel investor at Silicon Valley humanoid robot startup Figure, posted on X:
"Figure will be the largest IPO in U.S. history. I can foresee that Figure's initial IPO will be more than a trillion dollars, along with a backorder of $500 billion to a trillion dollars. ”
User X "Tesla 2030" replied:
"In my opinion, Figure is more likely to fail than to succeed. ”
Figure founder and CEO, Brett Adcock, known as "the next Elon Musk," replied:
“
I grew up watching the failure of supporters of the Tesla boycott.
I've always felt that they were so stupid and ignorant to bet on the opposite side of progress.
Ironically, Figure's biggest group of trolls right now is Tesla's individual shareholders

On March 13, two weeks after announcing a $675 million funding round and a partnership with OpenAI, Brett Adcock released an updated demo video of Figure robots and humans talking. He said:
“
OpenAI provides visual reasoning and language comprehension capabilities,
Figure's end-to-end neural network provides fast, low-level, dexterous robot movements.

X user Dr. Scott Walter carefully compared Boston Dynamics' latest electric robot with the Figure-01 robot. He posted a comparison chart of the waist joints and said:
“
They didn't waste any time on this design.

Brett Adcock回复说:
“
This won't be the last time we'll be plagiarized.
If not yet known, then, Figure is going to be the best in the world
Robot mechanical design.
Let's do it.

X users CernBasher, GoingBallistic5 and HerbertOng have compiled the current state of product capabilities for all important players in the field of humanoid robotics as of February 24.

Saturday 13 marks the 20th anniversary of Indian-American entrepreneur Vinod Khosla founding Khosla Ventures. Vinod is a close friend of Sam Altman, and Khosla Ventures was one of the first institutional investors to invest in OpenAI.
On this day, Vinod shared a slide deck looking ten years from now, "Possible Tomorrows: 2035-2049" [link 1 at the end of the article].
In the documentation, Vinod writes:
“
We're going to have a billion bipedal (and other types) of robots to free humans from the slavery of hated jobs and create an industry bigger than the automotive industry. ”
Jim Fan, Head of Humanoid Robotics at NVIDIA, commented:
"In the next decade, humanoid robots will surpass the supply of iPhones.
First gradually, then suddenly. ”
Elon replied in the affirmative.
