What's new with Optimus?

Tesla’s Optimus robot is getting better at doing everyday tasks, as seen in this video.

It’s impressive, but I’m not sure why.

It seems like everything Optimus is doing has been done before. Disney has been building robots for decades. So has Boston Dynamics.

Is it the software?

If it is, why is Tesla ahead here? Shouldn’t the robot companies have been working at this for years be way ahead?

I think it’s Elon’s willingness to invest in potential.
