Tesla's Humanoid Robot 'Optimus' Looks Far Less Optimistic

In September this year, Tesla presented a glimpse of their general-purpose humanoid robot'Optimus'. Unfortunately, as many humorously remarked, the launch was "suboptimal". The demo couldn't do much to excite the audience for what's coming next. However, many roboticists and experts in the field believe that if sufficient resources are thrown into it, the vision of an "all-purpose" robot is practical. I am aware of critics who say that the prototype had nothing new that they haven't seen elsewhere, and that there are other more impressive humanoids. There are also people who have doubts on the aggressive timeline Elon had proposed, and I do not necessarily disagree with them.
