The Optimus robot was first exposed by Musk at a technology event in 2021, and has since undergone several updates and upgrades. The robot is about 1.80 meters high, weighs about 56 pounds, and is designed to perform daily tasks that require movement, grip and use of technological discretion. Musk has repeatedly emphasized his vision – a world where robots will have a daily presence in homes and businesses, and will help people in routine work, ranging from food to washing.
He said Optimus could do tasks such as cleaning the house, arranging objects, serving drinking, and even accompanying older family members. Musk argues that the next step in development is a combination of advanced artificial intelligence with smart robotic engineering, which will allow robots to make basic self -decisions and act in accordance with their environment.
Musk emphasized earlier this year that Tesla strives to release no less than 5,000 units of the robot by the end of the current year. He said it was a breakthrough that would allow many to purchase the robot with reasonable cost and incorporate it into everyday life. “In the not too distant future, the robot will be in every home,” he said in one of his pants.
Over the past few months, videos have been circulated on social networks showing Optimus as he runs, jumps, and faces obstacles – videos that have come up with great enthusiasm but also doubts. Some viewers claimed that it was computerized imagery and not a true photography of the robot, but Batasla refused to refer to the rumors and continued to present the robot pain in a natural progress process. Musk himself did not respond to whether some of the videos were produced in artificial intelligence.
Last year, it was announced that Kim Kardashian, the well -known network, acquired one of Optimus models for her private home, probably to examine his abilities and provide media exposure to the product. In one interview, she said that the robot’s ability was surprised to understand simple commands and carry out tasks like a table arrangement and open doors.
Are Tesla’s human robots going to change home life? Musk is convinced. “We are at the door of a new era,” he said in the past.
