“There’s still a lot of work to be done to refine Optimus and prove it,” Musk admitted.
The current Tesla-bot was rolled out on the stage waving to the audience. Musk explained that it would be able to walk in a few weeks.
“I think Optimus is going to be incredible in five or 10 years like mind-blowing.”
A video was shown of Optimus performing simple tasks. The robot was filmed at Tesla’s California facility, watering plants, carrying boxes, and lifting metal bars at a production station.
Then Tesla engineers gave presentations explaining the science behind the Tesla-bot.
According to Tesla ads, “Optimus (you know, like the transformer) will someday help out every-day Americans with their household chores and will be an affordable product that most people can buy.”
