NVDA GEAR and Fourier Intelligence are ideal partners. One do the brain, the other do the platform.
No Optimus. The industry is far ahead of Optimus.
Only people in the West think this way. For the rest of the world, plenty of cheap labor/ maids to do household chores. Currently, plenty of home robots (that are not humanoid) available in the market.
Buying a humanoid to do this is dumb. There is no need to fold clothing at all. Those need ironing, hang them after ironing. Those no need ironing, throw them inside the drawer. Hardly spend anytime putting clothes into washer, transfer to dryer and then throw into a drawer.
Boston Dynamics chooses to do an “application” humanoid rather than a “platform” humanoid. Also, going for a circular display as head instead of a human head. Ofc, no longer focusing on a military humanoid.
If we can figure out how to build these robots using these robots, then the story will be different.

This is the future. Only the top 0.1% (specifically the billionaires) deserves to live as humans, the rest of us will be supplies to these robots and for maintenance of this top 0.1%.
