Tesla's Humanlike Machine is Unveiled by Elon Musk




The future depicted in the film I, Robot is getting closer to us. According to Tesla's latest robot demonstration, we will soon have robots helping us with daily duties, at least in factories before our homes.


Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has unveiled a prototype of the Optimus humanoid robot. With its autopilot driver assistance system available on its cars, Tesla provides some of its AI software and sensors. It was also the first time Optimus operated without a tether on stage, according to Musk, who claims that it will be able to accomplish far more than what was demonstrated live.



The CEO continued, "Optimus is built for mass manufacturing to be created in millions, which makes it different from previous amazing humanoid robots." The robot entered the stage first and performed the "raise the roof" dance motion. A few videos showing Optimus performing additional jobs, like as picking up boxes, are also provided by the company.


Later, the Tesla team unveiled a new prototype of Optimus that was "quite near to production," with its body fully constructed but not yet fully functional. Although it could wave to the crowd, Musk claimed that it wasn't yet ready to walk. According to reports, the robot was ready in just six months.



It boasts Wi-Fi and LTE connection, a 2.3kWh battery pack, and a Tesla SoC. The presentation concentrated on how the robot moved its hands and joints, demonstrating how it analyzed data for each joint. In the future, this should enable the robot to pick up tiny parts with a precise grip.


According to Musk, production may begin as early as next year, and future uses could include cooking, gardening, and other things. According to him, the assembly line and production operations of the corporation would undergo a revolution. Its pricing could be "likely less than $20,000."



The stage's back doors first opened to reveal a deconstructed Optimus, dubbed "Bumble C" by Tesla, who stepped forward and performed the "raise the roof" dance routine. Musk said that they didn't want it to be risky, make too many moves on stage or "fall flat on its face." (If you can, try to prevent another Cybertruck sledgehammer incident.)


The business then played back a few videos of the robot performing other duties, like picking up boxes.


Then Tesla's team displayed the second prototype of Optimus that was "quite close to production," with its body entirely constructed but not yet fully functional. It was placed up on a platform and waved to the crowd to demonstrate the wrist and hand's range of motion. Musk stated that this device still has actuators, a battery pack, and everything else but "wasn't quite ready to walk" when it was eventually rolled off by a team of workers.
