Episode notes

Humanoid robots could take over repetitive tasks, such as vacuuming. They would be able to do it better than a human-shaped robot that is not designed for the task. The more i thought about this, the more i'm like maybe you would just get a dedicated set of robots to achieve that for you,. before a general purpose robot. In theorye pretty cool. Ah, idon o, do you picture humanoid robots amongst people at shop? Right? No.

This week, Marques and Andrew discuss the new, slightly crazy announcement from Tesla: the Tesla Bot! Tesla Bot is a planned humanoid robot that will be able to help people with everyday, boring/repetitive tasks. But this announcement begs the question: is a humanoid robot really the best option? Marques and Andrew debate that conundrum, as well as read questions from the community Discord to see how people think Tesla Bot might help humanity in the future.
