Elon Musk Will Roll Out Thousands of Humanoid Robots at Tesla

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is prepared to introduce numerous humanoid robots known as Tesla Bots into the Tesla factory.

Thousands of humanoid robots will be employed at the Tesla factory, and millions more will be dispersed over the globe depending on the tasks they complete. This may be the culmination of Tesla's numerous gatherings and conferences on the subject of keeping robots in the factories.

On Sept. 30, at the "AI Day," a prototype of Tesla's project Optimus will be officially unveiled.

According to Elon Musk, production of these strong and benevolent bots will begin next year. However, some robotics experts have expressed skepticism over the success of these humanoid robots.

As reported by Mashable, a professor of human systems at Arizona State University, stated that if the billionaire wants to succeed, the robots must be able to perform various spontaneous tasks.

The professor went on to say that humanoid robots shouldn't just move around or dance because these things have "previously been done."

Human-Like, AI-Based

The automaker's most-awaited human-like AI-based machine was first introduced back in 2021. Although not much was known about the robot before, many consumers are intrigued by Tesla's innovation.

Now, it is clear that there will be an actual working Tesla Optimus prototype before 2022 ends.

The richest person in the world has previously stated that humans must be ready to coexist with artificial intelligence, saying that recognizing this one simple truth will determine how we live in the future.

"Tesla Bots are initially positioned to replace people in repetitive, boring, and dangerous tasks. But the vision is for them to serve millions of households, such as cooking, mowing lawns, and caring for the elderly," Musk said in an essay published in China Cyberspace magazine.

The robot will be able to lift 150 pounds (68 kg) and carry 45 pounds (20.4 kg), and it will be able to run 5 miles (8 km) per hour.

According to Musk, the robot, code-named "Optimus," will use the same sensors and computers as Tesla's reported Autopilot system in 2021. This program has been under significant criticism from federal regulators and legislators.

Musk also claimed that artificial intelligence would "learn" and adapt at startlingly quick rates. He has compared the potential power of an all-pervasive AI to that of a "god" in the past.

He added that if his company can manage mass manufacturing, the Tesla Bot prototype should be available by the year's end.
