Tesla's AI Robot Ready in September
[1] Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, asserts that the "Optimus" humanoid AI robot was about to be released on September 30, 2022. It was initially scheduled for release on Tesla Day, August 19, but was delayed until September. The delay was caused by the possibility that a prototype of the AI robot would be available by that time.
[2] The humanoid AI robot from Tesla was first announced in August of 2021. It was designed to assist and do daily human tasks. It can walk at least 5 miles per hour and lift 150 pounds. According to Tesla, Optimus can "eliminate dangerous, boring, and repetitive tasks."
[3] Tesla is a well-known automaker that believes electric vehicles can be better, faster, and more enjoyable to drive than gasoline-powered vehicles. Tesla, which makes self-driving cars powered by artificial intelligence, used artificial intelligence for the first time to create a humanoid robot. Japan and China, two of the world's leading artificial intelligence competitors, have yet to develop a humanoid that physically resembles humans and can perform human functions. Optimus will be the first to perform tasks humans do not prefer or want to do. It can also adapt to its owner's personality. To personalize Optimus, the owner can somehow transfer his or her traits to it.
[4] The launch of this humanoid would be the first of its type, and a great deal of anticipation surrounds the event. Due to Tesla's vow to use artificial intelligence to improve technology for the greater benefit, many people have high hopes for the future success of this robot.
