Innovation doesn't need to have any other reason than because its cool. Think of bipedal robots, everyone went mad at the thought of building something so inefficient

I've been thinking about this.

Humanoid robots have been a dream for centuries.

But a more practical robot would be like an octopus or something. It would just be like this weird ball of tentacles that rolls around your house. No one's gonna buy that, even if it's a million times cheaper to build.

You will not get VC money for your bipedal robot startup with this pitch
