Tesla’s humanoid robot ‘Optimus’, which was disappointing since it couldn’t even walk when it was unveiled in October of last yr, has now been updated to the walking stage.

In accordance with foreign media including The Verge on the seventeenth (local time), Tesla introduced a video of Optimus walking stealthily and picking up objects along with his arms at a shareholders’ meeting held on the Giga Factory in Texas, USA.

‘Optimus’ is slow on this video, but he walks around and picks things up and puts them in boxes. CEO Elon Musk showed the video and introduced that it “learns by copying human movements and recognizes the encircling environment and objects.”

Elon Musk said, “You might be surprised to see it” while introducing’Optimus’, which is scheduled to be unveiled on the’AI Day’ event in October of last yr. Nevertheless, in point of fact, it was very disappointing to release a product that was difficult to face upright.

Unlike the initial plan to release ‘Optimus’ this yr, Musk also modified his words ultimately yr’s ‘AI Day’ event that it will be possible to produce in large quantities only after 3 to five years.

Nevertheless, he left a lingering impression, saying that this robot was equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and can be supplied at lower than $20,000 per unit.

Nevertheless, even after 7 months, ‘Optimus’ continues to be at the extent of just beyond the prototype. It’s evaluated that there continues to be a protracted approach to go before commercialization.

Meanwhile, while introducing the ‘Cybertruck’ delivery event to be held within the third quarter of the day, Musk confided that “it would not be mass-produced until next yr since it takes time to operate the electrical truck manufacturing line.” Tesla announced the ‘Cybertruck’ in 2019, but the discharge date has been delayed.
