The robots are coming, and they might look human.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently unveiled the automaker's first humanoid robot. The electric vehicle company will develop a humanoid robot prototype dubbed the “Tesla Bot.” It’s one of a growing number of robots under development that attempt to match the look and abilities of people.
“Human-like robots will be useful because they can more easily work alongside or in place of the humans who must perform the many ‘dull, dirty, and dangerous’ tasks that we depend on humans to solve, but are unpleasant for humans to perform,” Brendan Englot, a professor mechanical engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, told Lifewire in an email interview.
