Defining Solved Robotics: Users Willing to Pay
DJiafei · x · 2026-07-17
Developers shared different perspectives on when a specific robotics task is truly "solved." The author argues that the real benchmark is whether users are willing to pay for the robot to complete the task, much like how they paid $99 for FSD (Full Self-Driving). A mere demo does not equate to a solved task.
