Robotics: The Dilemma of Use Cases

Robots like Tesla's Optimus and Boston Dynamics' Atlas struggle with commercialization due to a lack of clear use cases, despite significant investment and development efforts. Unlike the Tesla Model 3, which effectively addresses a transportation need, these robots remain in search of practical applications. The uncertainty surrounding their market readiness raises questions about consumer demand, especially as they still rely on human operation and oversight. The robotics industry is characterized by innovative technology that faces challenges in proving its worth and finding genuine market demand.
