![]() ![]() Hyundai also owns a collection of humanoid and animal-like robots through its 2021 acquisition of robotics firm Boston Dynamics. ![]() Honda more than two decades ago unveiled Asimo, which resembled a life-size space suit and was shown in a carefully-orchestrated demonstration to be able to pour liquid into a cup. ![]() Tesla isn’t the first car company to experiment with humanoid robots. “When you’re trying to develop a robot that is both affordable and useful, a humanoid kind of shape and size is not necessarily the best way,” said Tom Ryden, executive director of the nonprofit startup incubator Mass Robotics. Similar computers would be used to teach tasks to the robots, they said.Įxperts in the robotics field were skeptical that Tesla is anywhere near close to rolling out legions of human-like home robots that can do the “useful things” Musk wants them to do – say, make dinner, mow the lawn, keep watch on an aging grandmother. The robot is backed by giant artificial intelligence computers that track millions of video frames from “Full Self-Driving” autos. People can probably buy an Optimus “within three to five years," Musk said.Įmployees said Optimus robots would have four fingers and a thumb with a tendon-like system so they could have the dexterity of humans. But there was no live demonstration of the robot completing the tasks.Įmployees told the crowd in Palo Alto, California, as well as those watching via livestream, that they have been working on Optimus for six to eight months. Tesla showed a video of the robot, which uses artificial intelligence that Tesla is testing in its “Full Self-Driving” vehicles, carrying boxes and placing a metal bar into what appeared to be a factory machine. ![]()
