Tesla has revealed a prototype of a humanoid robot that it says could be a future product for the automaker

The robot, dubbed Optimus by Tesla, walked stiffly on stage at Tesla’s AI Day, slowly waved at the crowed and gestured with its hands for roughly one minute. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the robot was operating without a tether for the first time. Robotics developers often use tethers to support robots because they aren’t capable enough to walk without falling and damaging themselves.

Tesla has a history of aggressive price targets that it doesn’t ultimately reach. The Tesla Model 3 was long promised as a $35,000 vehicle, but could only very briefly be purchased for that price, and not directly on its website. The most affordable Tesla Model 3 now costs $46,990. When Tesla revealed the Cybertruck in 2019, its pick-up truck that remains unavailable for purchase today, it was said to cost $39,990, but the price has since been removed from Tesla’s website.

At least it's not a dude in a robot costume as the one presented by the Russians sometime ago 🤣🤣🤡

In 5 years, it will be skilled enough to work on the line (and not only on line) in the factory as humans do.

They got a long way to go to catch up to Boston Dynamics.

Stop reprinting b*llsh*t artist elon musk’s press releases and do some of the journalism CNN used to be known for. This is laughable.

C3PO

Vooralsnog kan het alleen microstapjes doen met behulp van een half dozijn technici om te voorkomen dat het omkukelt!

Humanoid or T1000 (from Terminator 2)?

Sad

Tesla is a software company.

Don't lie elonmusk!

Nice picture. Where are all the techies making sure it doesn't fall over?

Hope its nothing like his piece of crap tesla car 🤔🙄🚗👈💩

That is disappointing

Have we learned nothing of the apocalyptic movies weve seen?

Does it randomly catch on fire and strike pedestrians like his cars ?

Just brilliant progress! They will be as common as smart phones.

waste of money and lacking innovation.

Seeing stories like this too often seems like companies in a race to usher in Skynet! Scary where we will be in a few more years!

I’d worry that one day it will achieve self-awareness and turn on us, but this is a Musk product. It will explode before it leaves the assembly line.

God help us will someone give this musk fellow some ideas for actually helping us with the mess we’re in? Fuck

Light years behind Boston Dynamic.

Why?

That will end badly..

Nadie va a frenar a Musk?

Can't wait.

There is a more important development... Capitalism created millions robotic human.

They still can't even build cars right, I'm sure this will be a smashing success

Why?

Creepy AF

They started the project 6 months ago! This is impressive!

it hobbled forward and waved like asimo in 2000 in a pre-programmed, highly choreographed publicity exposition lol

Didn’t some other crazy billionaire had the same idea?

Slowly walks onstage with 4 guys guiding it and keeping it upright.

we are here to serve people

Sorry terminator told us this is a bad idea

It is a laughable piece of overhyped junk.

Copy cat from Hollywood … This guy thinks everything is a movie show off 👎👎

Hsn2jn

Thankfully unveiled indoors with no wind.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, come in please 💪🕴

Lol, it seems skynet is still a while a way if Telsa is in charge of the effort

They say lots of stuff. They deliver on none of it.

light up for the future.

What could possibly go wrong?

Focus on cars that doesn’t explode

Production will start after they finish Autopilot lvl 5.

StopHazaraGenocide

But what can humanoid robots do that other mobile robots can't do? Four wheels is better than two legs.
