Tesla is building a top-class team of roboticists including robot design modelers, actuator designers, manufacturing engineers and technicians.
At Tesla Investor Day 2023, Tesla CEO Elon Musk demos the Optimus Robot walking for the first time.
Multiple fully Tesla-made bots now walking around & learning about the real world
At the 2023 Tesla Shareholder meeting in Austin, Texas, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shows off a new Optimus video, the company's humanoid robot in development.
Optimus can now sort objects autonomously. Its neural network is trained fully end-to-end: video in, controls out.
New bot in town!
Optimus Gen 2 features Tesla-designed actuators and sensors, faster and more capable hands, faster walking, lower total weight, articulated neck, and more.
Tesla has shared a new clip of the Optimus robot, showing off how smoothly the humanoid bot can walk around.
The 80-second video, which has already been viewed more than two million times in less than 24 hours, was captioned: "Getting my daily steps in".
Elon Musk also shared the footage with his 173 million X followers.
"Optimus strolling around the lab," he wrote.
The new video has drawn plenty of attention on social media.
"We live in amazing times," one person wrote.
"I want to see it moonwalk," another joked.
Tesla's Optimus robot is a humanoid machine designed to perform a variety of tasks autonomously. It integrates several components from Tesla's automotive technology, including batteries, cameras, and computers, which accelerates its development.Unveiled at Tesla's "We, Robot" event, Optimus has been touted as a revolutionary step towards autonomous humanoid robots capable of navigating complex environments. The robot is equipped with neural networks running on its embedded computer, allowing it to explore unfamiliar spaces independently and avoid obstacles.
