The industry has a lot more money and easier use cases.

A robot like Optimus will not be a household robot for years to come. Why? If it falls, it will crash into some kind of glas from doors to windows etc. If it falls it might crash a human or animal underneath it. It might trip on a toy or stairs and crash into a wall.

I would love to have one robot but 50k? Who buys something for 50k? A normal person has to save up for a car and they need a car, for a household robot you need a lot of income to justify 50k. You will buy a car, flat, kitchen, etc. before you will buy a 50k robot.

10k perhaps is more realistic but than it has to be good. Like if you are alone, I don't think you will recognize normal housework as such a bad thing that you will buy a robot for a small flat.

For families, the robot has to be very good and really save.

If you have a partner not working, you might not be able to afford a robot and that perosn has time anyway to do all of that.

I can imagine having a robot for elder people and some remote service using these robots to do stuff for them but 50k is costly.

I'm not bullish on household robots for the next 10 years at all. Now you have another problem though, if they become really good in an industry setting, guess who will lose their jobs? yeah exactly the people whou should be able to buy these.

Strong disagree here we have plenty of machinery that we use that could be very dangerous if it fails, but they just slap a disclaimer on it and that’s usually enough the same is going to be done here.

In a normal household? Like what?

I have nothing compared to a 60kg robot who is moving around in my flat. Even in my daily life the only thing i can come up with, is a car.

Nontheless, industry pays more, faster, has more generic basic use cases and higher incentive to buy.

We literally pipe in flammable gases into kitchens, and then burn them there. These fail a lot all the time. Clogged heaters kill people because of carbon monoxide poisoning and electric coil heaters burn down apartments. Pressure cookers are basically controlled bombs. People have hundred pound pitbulls in their houses and even though we trust them they’re technically inherently unpredictable. There are a lot of dangerous things in our homes that we accept and build guard rails around a robot doesn’t seem that much crazier.

The stove is in one place, it produces heat, we train everyone that this is dangerous including our kids (firefighters showed me in 1th grade what an oil fire is).

We added stinky smell to gas.

Pressure cookers are only used by 1-2 people in the kitchen and not that regularly. But a friend of mine actually burned himself through the steam when he opened it up.

The pitbull things is dangerous. But they do'nt run through window and if they fall down stairs, they won't kill someone.

Look we will see how long it will take but i do not think we will see household robots soon. Im confident we will see them in the industry on mass before we see them in real households in relevant numbers.
