Elon
Musk
might
have
made
humanoid
robots,
part
of
the
tech
Zeitgeist
with
his
Optimus
robot.
Going
on
the
record
is
saying
that
Optimus
will
eventually
make
up
80%
of
Tesla's
entire
value.
A
lot
of
bulls
buy
into
that.
But
Tesla's
yet
to
sell
its
first
robot
and
currently
isn't
? (Host)
00:16.000
at
the
forefront
of
commercializing
the
tech
not
the
technology.
This
though,
I
don't
want
to
call
it
Unitary
G1.
That's
its
name
is
it's
got
a
name.
His
name
is
Coyd.
And
you
might
have
seen
Coyd
dancing
or
even
kicking
on
social
media,
Open
AI,
Nvidia,
and
Amazon.
They're
all
? (Host)
00:33.800
experimenting
with
Koide's
capabilities.
He
can
do
a
lot.
Look,
he's
handsome,
he
waves.
As
are
some
of
the
top
research
universities
like
Harvard,
Yale,
Carnegie
Mellon.
Joining
us
now
on
set
is
Teddy
Hagerty,
the
CEO
of
RoboStore,
the
largest
global
seller
of
Unitary
robots.
? (Host)
00:51.040
Um
and
Teddy,
you're
a
nice
guy.
Like
I
let's
have
a
conversation.
But
I
can
also
talk
to
Koide,
can
I
know?
Absolutely.
? (Host)
00:59.640
So
Coyd
can
tell
us
some
knowledge.
? (Host)
01:01.760
So,
I'm
going
to
try
that
first.
Coyd,
what
do
you
think
is
the
future
of
humanoid
robots?
? (Host)
01:26.680
And
one
thing
I
love
about
Coyd's
answer,
Teddy,
is
that
it
was
brief.
Yeah.
Yeah,
unlike
a
lot
of
TV
guests.
He
didn't
give
like
some
three
minutes.
That
was
a
perfect
answer.
It's
got
a
great
future.
Um,
what
can
what
welcome
by
the
way,
what
can
Koide
do
now
and
in
two
years
? (Host)
01:40.960
what
will
Koide
be
doing
for
us
or
to
us?
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
01:45.680
So,
that's
that's
the
number
one
question
we
get.
What
can
the
robot
do?
How
can
we
put
robots
into
our
home?
How
can
we
deploy
them?
Every
day
we
get
tons
of
inquiries
from
consumers,
companies,
B2B,
everywhere
of
like
what
can
a
robot
do?
He's
going
on
like
a
whole
tear
right
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
02:01.720
now.
Now
he's
talking
three
minutes.
So
you
spoke
It's
to
all
good.
I
It's
my
fault.
I
spoke
into
the
thing.
But
yes,
so
what
will
he
do?
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
02:08.560
I
always
tell
people
you
could
you
could
kind
of
dream
whatever
you
want
a
robot
to
do,
but
we're
in
like
a
big
prototyping
phase.
So
we're
in
this
like
stage
one
of
understanding
what
are
the
dreams,
what
are
the
realities,
and
what
is
it
that
we
really
want
robots
to
do?
Do
we
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
02:23.320
want
robots
to
become
our
new
housekeeper?
Do
we
want
them
to
help
manufacturing?
Do
we
want
them
to
replace
jobs?
So
like
a
Koid
can
be
programmed
to
do
almost
anything
when
it
comes
to
being
a
receptionist.
We
can
machine
learn
um
reinforcement
Koid
to
actually
go
and
start
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
02:39.440
picking
up
stuff
and
doing
tasks
that
are
mundane.
So
the
robotics
the
robotics
error
right
now
is
in
like
a
big
research
and
development
stage.
? (Host)
02:48.400
I
I
don't
want
to
discount
Koid
or
his
abilities.
You
know
what
I
mean?
I
don't
want
to
I
don't
want
to
I
believe
in
Koid.
I'm
a
believer
that
he
can
do
a
lot.
But
it
does
sound
like
right
now
when
we
talk
about
robots
It
is
a
lot
of
just
doing
the
stuff
we
don't
want
to
do,
? (Host)
03:03.800
right?
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
03:04.440
That's
a
lot
of
it.
? (Host)
03:05.280
Stack
the
firewood,
Coyd.
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
03:07.000
What
we
find
is
a
lot
of
people
actually
come
to
us
and
say,
how
can
we
deploy
robotics
in
our
company
where
our
customers
can
see
a
robot
in
the
company?
So,
instead
of
it
being
in
the
back
and
going
to
pick
up
boxes
Yeah
and
and
do
these
mundane
tasks,
Robot
stuff.
robot
stuff
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
03:22.160
right
They
actually
want
to
say,
how
can
I
have
it
as
like
a
receptionist?
How
can
I
do
it
to
do
this
hospitality
task?
How
can
I
have
the
customers
see
that
we're
basically
embracing
robotics.
? (Host)
03:32.800
How
much
does
Koid
cost?
Can
I
buy
Koid
now?
Yeah,
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
03:35.840
so
G1
starts
around
$20,000
and
Koid's
about
$70,000.
But
Koid
has
a
lot
of
extras
on
them.
And
the
one
thing
about
the
Unitary
products
is
it
kind
of
like
this
open
source
product.
We
can
modify
it.
So
Koid's
? (Host)
03:48.560
What
does
modified?
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
03:49.600
that
mean
So
he
has
different
camera
systems
from
Intel.
He's
actually
running
an
Apple
based
computer
system
in
pair
with
an
Nvidia
chip.
So
we
have
like
a
bunch
of
different
add-ons
that
we
manufacture
Sure,
we
3D
print
and
program
to
build
on
top
of
robotics
to
get
you
where
Teddy Haggerty (CEO)
04:04.160
you
want
to
go
in
your
box
journey.
