Tesla gave an impressive robotics demonstration, proving that the Optimus robot is a serious effort that might change the way work is done in the future.
The Tesla AI Day 2022 event shocked everyone with a good look at the first Optimus robot prototype. While a preview had been shown of robotic hands forming a heart shape in the announcement of the event, the Tesla bot has been kept completely under wraps for over a year.
The Tesla Bot had the ability to walk around untethered, wave to the audience, and even did a little, somewhat conservative dance. In a video, Tesla showed that the Tesla Bot can already pick up a box and deliver it to a desk where people are seated. It can identify and pick up other objects including a metal bar and a watering can that’s used for plants.
Tesla is a car company, and it has only had a year since Optimus was first announced to deliver a humanoid robot, which is an incredibly complex device. The Tesla Bot has a head start on navigation since it uses the same vision-based technology as Tesla’s self-driving cars. But as Musk has said time and time again, the robotics program designed for Tesla’s factories already makes it one of the most advanced robotics companies in the world.
Some had feared the Tesla Bot portion of the AI Day event would be all bluster, but the Optimus prototype demonstrates the work of a serious robotics team.
