Elon Musk reveals a humanoid robot at Tesla AI Day 2022

At annual Tesla AI Day event , Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed the company's prototype robot meant to revolutionize their assembly line. The robot was only able to walk on stage and wave to the crowd. Then Elon and his team showed what they hoped for the production unit to look like once it’s ready.

Crazy, we're talking about robots, and Elon still doesnt have a final version of the cybertruck.

Boston Dynamics aren't exactly losing any sleep over this I imagine

[congarong]

I walk like this around the house trying not to wake anyone up.

[James-qlnl]

Amazing how they've managed to nail the whole 'I've just shat myself' look. Such attention to detail.

[KRTB]

Any demo of a walking robot not getting aggressively kicked in the side or back is a waste of time. 😅

[brokenboy]

I love seeing these robot demonstrations. It reassures me that my job is perfectly safe for the next 100 years

I’m glad they told us where the robots battery and “brain” are. Now if an AI tries to use these robots to take over the world we just aim for center mass.

[brandongant]

When are they going to make the liquid metal version?

[gmmg]

This robot simulates how my grandpa walks perfectly

[hollyfit]

These robots need more help than they can give 😭

[Jake-Day]

Boston Dynamics is only a decade ahead.

[paintspot]

Well done tesla, you are now only 10 years behind the competition.

When you have two weeks to show the boss a mockup

[randomchannel]

I don't know man, it feels kinda outdated? I mean I've seen Asimo 20 years ago, we are still in this step?

[FratinandMadrik]

Seems like they're struggling to make it walk without falling, while Boston Dynamics have robots running around and doing parkour. It seems less like a new push for revolutionary AI and more like Tesla wanted to see if they could make their Tesla AI computers into full robots instead of cars. This seems like a prototype, not something you show off at a convention.

[wavebuilderudc]

If it fell apart on stage and burst into flames there would still be musk fans calling this the most advanced robot

[HumanoidKoala]

His fans are clearly impressed and in need of getting a real friend.

[PookDaWook]

They must have foreseen the Boston Dynamics comparisons. It took them like a decade to get confident bipedal walking down. Probably should have let this project incubate much longer before showing it off, but that's Tesla for you.

[Arkane]

I can't wait for the inevitable TeslaBot vs Boston Dynamics Bot boxing match!!
