What even is the purpose of humanoid robots? Is there even a use case for it?

Honestly I find it really hard to imagine a humanoid robot (at least without muscle induced mobility) maintaining an aircraft/plumbing and so on.
I can imagine the use case. I don't see this tech being anywhere close to maturity in this decade though. The amount of processing power would be CRAZY to deal with these tasks, no? Computer vision + motor skills. Add actual mobility to that. What would be the power source? Definitely not a battery! Would it be like a cable connected to a wall outlet or something?

Why would they name their robot after the second best autobot?
Everyone knows Ultra Magnus is the best one.

Wait, you mean that person in a silver jumpsuit is competing against robots?

does boston dynamics have any significant competition?

I think this humanoid robot will be Elon's 'Sinclair C5" moment.

Dude I'd totally ride a C5 in 2024, that thing looks like it's a perfect alternative to those scooters that are everywhere. At least now you could use lithium batteries and beefier motors instead of the garbage they had back then.

Just get a recumbent e-bike and slap some paneling around it.

With all the SUVs out there these days, I'd be worried about riding anything that low to the ground in 2024.

Humanoid? The requirements were clear... maximize the number of guns. How many guns are required to pick apples from a tree? Well if you got 10 apples, surely 10 guns right?

“ Tesla displayed its Optimus humanoid inside a clear box, motionless next to its cars.”
I’m just amazed it wasn’t a dancer in spandex again
