  In a paper published online today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared the latest details on Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, including its cost and possible uses. According to reports, this robot can be used not only in industrial production, but also in thousands of households.

  At Tesla's "AI Day" in August 2021, the company debuted the humanoid robot "Tesla Bot," now known as "Tesla Optimus." , It is reported that the latest model will be released on the second "Artificial Intelligence Day" on September 30 this year. In an article published in the "China Netcom" magazine, Musk wrote: "The Tesla robot was originally positioned to replace people in repetitive and dangerous jobs. But the long-term goal is to make it serve thousands of households. , such as cooking, mowing the lawn, caring for the elderly, etc.”

  Musk also explained that the robot, which has human-like limbs and related features, was purposely designed this way. "The Tesla robot is about the height and weight of an adult, can carry or carry heavy objects, and can walk briskly, and the screen on its face is an interface for communicating with people," he wrote. "You may be curious. , why do we design this robot with legs? Because human society is based on the interaction of a bipedal humanoid with two arms and ten fingers. So if we want the robot to adapt to the environment and do what humans do He would have to have roughly the same size, shape and abilities as a human being."

Musk explained in the article: "The height and weight of the Tesla robot is close to that of an adult, it can carry or carry heavy objects, and it can also walk in small steps. The screen on its face is an interactive interface for communicating with people."

  According to Musk, Tesla plans to focus on improving the intelligence of the robot and solving the problem of mass production after unveiling the prototype of the robot next month. The practicality of it will increase year by year. In the future, a home robot may be cheaper than a car. Maybe in less than a decade, people will be able to buy a robot for their parents as a birthday present.”

  The Tesla robot Optimus, which is about 1.73 meters tall and weighs 56.7 kilograms, will be fitted with the autopilot computer the company uses in its electric vehicles, which will allow it to recognize objects in the real world, while the robot itself is also tailored. Custom sensors and actuators. The Optimus can deadlift up to 68kg, carry 20kg, and can walk about 8km per hour; it has a human-like hand and sensors that provide it with vision.

  Tesla's self-driving camera will be mounted on the front side of the robot's head, and its inner workings will be powered by the company's "full self-driving computer." Apparently, the robots will be operated via Tesla's "Full Self-Driving Computer" interface, which is also the interface for Tesla's Model 3, X, S, Y and Roadster.

  Renderings previously released suggest that Optimus could eventually look very similar to the "NS5" robot from the 2004 film I, Robot. Some people may worry that the robot will have "Terminator"-style consequences, which Musk also explained. When first unveiling the Tesla humanoid robot in 2021, Musk said: "Certainly, it's designed to be human-friendly and operate in a world built for humans," adding that if needed , a human can run faster than a Tesla robot and subdue it.

  In a question-and-answer session following Tesla's "AI Day" in 2021, Musk said: "We should be worried about AI. What we're trying to do at Tesla is to make AI that people love and that works...  And there is no doubt that this will be good AI.”

  At present, many large companies, such as Amazon and Walmart, have used robots to complete various tasks in the industrial field. "It is foreseeable that with the power of robots, we will create an era of extreme abundance of goods and services, and everyone can live a prosperous life." Musk also wrote in the article, "Perhaps, the only scarcity that exists in the future, It's us as human beings who create ourselves."
