Tesla will unveil an Optimus prototype later this year
, recently describing the Tesla Optimus as a “general-purpose humanoid robot” that will “replace people in repetitive, boring, and dangerous tasks.”As is usual for Tesla’s CEO, Musk conflates timelines and muddies the distinction between possible future tech and current capabilities in order to give listeners’ imagination free rein. But let’s be clear: Tesla is not selling a “general purpose” robot any time soon., promises like this are just far beyond what even cutting-edge tech can do.
I’ve said before that I believe Tesla will build and unveil a prototype humanoid bot. Like Xiaomi’s CyberOne, it will be able to walk and talk in prearranged demos, and may display some more advanced hand movement or lifting capabilities . But it certainly won’t be buying your groceries any time soon. As the CyberOne shows, it’s fun and productive to build a robot for both marketing and research purposes.
