Humanoid robots pose enormous technical challenges

Wood joined X to share ARK Invest’s findings on the complexity of humanoid robots. According to their research, the development of humanoid robots is “200,000 times more complex” than robotaxis.

She attributed this complexity to the “first principles approach” and “dogged determination” of Elon Muskthe CEO of Tesla.

Wood predicted that Tesla’s Optimus will transform factory and family life by 2028 or 2029.

The message responded to an earlier X message from Captain Eliwho identifies himself as a Tesla investor and quoted Musk on the technical challenges of building Optimus, particularly the complexity of his hands.

Optimus seen as Tesla’s next frontier

Musk has been an outspoken advocate for humanoid robots, often calling them a key driver of Tesla’s long-term value.

In January, angel investor Jason Calacanis said Optimus could overshadow the company’s automotive legacy.

ARK Invest’s prediction is in line with Musk’s ambitious plans for Optimus. Earlier this year, Musk claimed that Optimus could potentially build civilizations on distant planets in the future, positioning the robot as a revolutionary force in both industry and beyond.

In June 2025, ARK Invest predicted that humanoid robots could unlock $250 billion in untapped gross domestic product.
