On October 11th, it was reported that at a recent press conference, Tesla brought a new generation of humanoid robot Optimus.
At the press conference, Musk also stated, "If produced on a scale, its price should be around $20000 to $30000, and I believe this will be the largest product ever
It is reported that Tesla's humanoid robot adopts an AI system similar to Cybertruck, which is not only intelligent, but can also instantly become a good helper for humans.
From the video displayed on site, it can be seen that this robot is a piece of cake when cooking in the kitchen. It can also mix drinks for humans, dance with jumping and dancing, and has flexible and diverse movements, providing ample emotional value.
After the press conference, the Tesla Optimus robot interacted closely with the live audience. From the video footage, it can hand over items on the table to the audience in front of it according to instructions, or wave or give a thumbs up to greet the audience. It is truly imaginative and attractive.
According to the data, Optimus is an intelligent robot released by Tesla in August 2021, equipped with Tesla's independently developed neural network and computer vision technology. Its design goal is to be able to perform dangerous or boring tasks for humans, such as lifting heavy objects and purchasing groceries.
At the end of last year, the official showcased the second-generation product, which was equipped with Tesla's self-designed actuators and sensors. The neck rotation reached 2 degrees of freedom, the walking speed increased by 30%, and foot force/torque sensing was increased. The actuators integrated wiring harnesses and components, reducing the overall weight by 22 pounds (10 kilograms) and improving balance and body control.
The specific configuration and parameters of the new generation robot unveiled this time are unknown and awaiting further official disclosure. Musk has stated that he plans to start "limited production" of Optimus robots from 2025, which will first be put into use at Tesla factories
