Elon Musk showcased his humanoid robot 'Optimus' at Tesla’s AI Day

, have developed humanoid robot prototypes capable of doing complicated things like shooting a basketball, and production robots from ABB and others are a mainstay of auto manufacturing.

Tesla engineers, who like Musk were all wearing black T-shirts with an image of metallic robotic hands making a heart shape, described how they developed the robot's features - including in areas like how the fingers move - with a focus on making the cost of production lower. By developing a robotics business, Musk said, Tesla is shifting the terms of a well-known mission statement that has become part of its appeal to investors and climate activists by committing to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy."

Henri Ben Amor, a robotics professor at Arizona State University, said Musk's price target of $20,000 was a "good proposition," since current costs are about $100,000 for humanoid robots. "What is really impressive is that they got to that level so quickly. What is still a little murky is what exactly the use case is for them to make millions of these," Johnson said.

Elon, more cars, charging stations,plant more trees.

just walks around my tent?

I can light less than $20,000 on fire?! How exciting!

Autobots roll out

Super creepy.

Looks like it needs the toilet.

I though he would have made a transformer car instead. Then the transformer could carry you around or you watch it work for you.

This was the most disappointing reveal since the fake 2020 election result

Scary

So Musk still has a ways to go to catch up to where Boston Dynamics was 3 years ago. So maybe 5 years behind.

AI is dope,
