FAQ
Are humanoid robots actually useful commercially yet?
Mostly in structured industrial pilots. Tesla Optimus, Figure, Agility Digit are deploying in limited warehouse scenarios, but general-purpose humanoid work is years away. Short-term: specialised non-humanoid robots (arms, AMRs) win commercially. Long-term: humanoids may generalise.
