Tesla Optimus Robot: FIRST LOOK at Elon Musk’s $20,000 Humanoid

Elon Musk revealed two Optimus prototypes at Tesla AI Day 2022, promising to make the robots as quickly as possible, eventually selling millions.

So if Amazon were to invest in some of these to work in Distribution centers, are they now called Optimus Prime? 😆 🤣

Does $20, 000 get me those 3 workers to move Optimus around?

[geoffreyevans]

I was blown away 'til I realised Claire wasn't the robot.

[jimr]

I want mine to look like Schwarzenegger.

For someone who said AI is the enemy of the future and warn us about it
sure made it possible

1:11 That guy dancing in the suit got me 😂

This robot is very primitive compared to what already exists from other companies.

before saying that this robot is terrible, understand that Tesla had other things to do as well

This is like 10 years behind what boston dynamics is doing with their robots....

Ah yes, walking at 1kp/h and waving, so useful in every day lives

[jimeneazy]

This went from concept to working prototype in 1 YEAR. If you can't comprehend how impressive that is than you're just naive.

[EleTruk]

The price of $20, 000 seems way too low. There's is no way they can hit that price point. As an example, you can currently get a Baxter robot for $22, 000., and it is basically two arms on a pedestal. To expect a fully ambulatory robot with humanoid hands and full AI and vision doesn't recognize actual cost of manufacturing something this complex.

I wonder how loud Boston Dynamics engineers laughed watching this.

[bGzzzzz]

This robot is as impressive as the robots on “Robot Wars”

[gerharddamm]

I just want one that can clean the house

[rainflowers]

If this robot has a similar development trajectory to Tesla or SpaceX, it could be extremely interesting to check back in 5-10 years.

[nasim]

I can't believe people are so impressed by this demo when this can be done by engineering students in a capstone project and in 6 months. It's not like they developed a real mass product that can be used safely by humans

[minetruly]

"Should be walking on its own in a few weeks." Imagine the slaughter when the employees didn't have it ready in time for the demo.

Meanwhile Boston robots be doing backflips and parkour.

Wasn't Elon against AI and terminators?😂
