Tesla grandly launched its latest masterpiece, the Optimus humanoid robot, at the recent Cybercab event. This robot is no longer a concept product in the laboratory, but has the ability to perform daily tasks, such as picking up packages, watering flowers, and even walking dogs, looking after children, and mowing lawns. The editor of Downcodes will give you an in-depth understanding of this impressive robot, the technology behind it and its future prospects.
Tesla showed off its latest humanoid robot, Optimus, at the Cybercab event. The robot can perform daily tasks such as picking up packages and watering plants. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Optimus can "do anything," including walking the dog, babysitting, mowing the lawn, and more.
Musk also said Optimus would cost $20,000 to $30,000, calling it the "greatest product ever." He also predicts that Optimus will "revolutionize civilization" and lead to a potential increase in economic output of "two orders of magnitude."
During the demonstration, the Optimus robot could interact with people, handing over drinks and small gift bags, and playing rock, paper, scissors with guests. Musk said Optimus will begin performing "useful missions" by the end of this year and could be "on sale by the end of next year."
Tesla's humanoid robot project wasn't a serious product when it was first announced in 2021, but in 2022, the company showed off a rough prototype that tiptoed onto the stage. Now that Optimus has become a more mature product, Musk is full of confidence in its future development.
The advent of the Optimus robot marks a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence technology in the field of robotics. Its low cost and powerful functions indicate that it will be widely used in various fields in the future and will profoundly change people's lifestyles. Let’s wait and see if Optimus can truly realize Musk’s grand vision.
