Tesla Unveils New Humanoid Robot

Tesla has unveiled its second-generation Optimus humanoid robot, showcasing its improved dexterity and agility, and potential to replace human workers in the company’s factories. The robot, featured in a video shared by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, can perform complex tasks such as flexing its fingers and hands, walking faster, doing squats, and picking up objects with tactile sensors on its dextrous hands. Musk has emphasized the significance of this project for the carmaker, predicting that the robots would contribute to the majority of Tesla’s long-term value and could potentially cost less than $20,000 each. However, questions remain regarding the robot’s real-world capabilities and how Tesla plans to integrate AI technology into its operations.
