Elon Musk Shares Video Of Tesla’s Humanoid Robot That Can Babysit Kids, Get Groceries, Serve Drinks
Musk said the robots use everything developed for Tesla cars, including batteries, power, electronics, advanced motors, gearboxes, software and ion first computer.
American multi-billionaire and owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, on Friday shared videos of Tesla’s new humanoid robot that can perform virtually every work human being can do including cleaning house, serving drinks, teaching and babysitting kids, amongst others.
Musk said the robots use everything developed for Tesla cars, including batteries, power, electronics, advanced motors, gearboxes, software and ion first computer.
Musk said, “It all actually applies to a humanoid robot. It is the same techniques. It is just a robot with arms and legs instead of a robot with wheels. And we made a lot of progress with Optimus.
“And as you can, we have started off with someone in a robot suit, sort of that. And we have progressed dramatically year after year.
“So if you extrapolate this, you are really going to have something spectacular, something that anyone could own. You can have your own personal R2-D2, C-3PO.
“I think that scaled. This would cost something like, I don’t know, $20,000 or $30,000, probably less than a car. That is my prediction for long term. You know it take us a minute to get to the long term.
“But fundamentally, at the scale of the octopus robot, you should be able to buy an optimist robot for, probably $20,000 to $30,000.”
On what the robot can do, Musk said, “It can basically do anything you want. It can be a teacher or babysit your kids. It can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks, whatever you can think of. It will do.
“It is going to be awesome. This will be the biggest product ever of any kind.”
