MTS(@MTSlive):Georgia Tech prof. @animesh_garg predicts humanoid hardware will get 10X cheaper in just 2-3 years: "A small or medium scale humanoid like G1 is available at BOM of under 10K. If you can build it at scale, at 500 units or above, you can get it there." "Number of US entities have attempted this. I do expect that by next summer we should have US-made or mostly US-made developer platform humanoids available to us at $25,000 give or take price points." "The price for hardware will drop by over 10X within a two to three-year time horizon. So two years from now, I absolutely anticipate a toy level humanoid to be available at 5K, and an actually useful humanoid to be available at somewhere between 10 to 15K." @GeorgiaTech
