Tesla Bot, now named Optimus, makes giant strides in a new video showing the progress of the humanoid robot.
It’s not quite a human in metal yet, fortunately perhaps, but Optimus is moving towards greater autonomy. In the latest demonstration video released by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, anthropomorphism is increasingly apparent in the Bot. One segment notably shows a group of Tesla robots walking in unison, a far cry from the stumbling first steps of the machine in public just seven months ago.
During a prototype demonstration in October, Musk stated that Tesla would be able to produce “millions” of humanoid robots in the coming years and sell them for less than $20,000, half the price of a Model Y, a claim that raised eyebrows.
In this episode, we see Optimus sorting objects by color and tapping an egg with its metal hand without cracking the shell, a task easy and intuitive for humans but much less so for robots.
The video also highlights improvements such as environment discovery and memorization for better interaction with it, and AI enhancement based on human demonstrations, bringing Tesla closer to mass-producing humanoid robots that are as human… as possible.
