Since the presentation of the first-generation Bumblebee in September 2022, the advances of Tesla’s robotics team have been surprising!
Aside from electric cars, Tesla continues to work on the development of Optimus, the second generation of the humanoid robot, designed to replace humans in difficult and dangerous jobs. And in all others, even those at home…
The robot that Tesla intends to mass-produce (and sell for prices below $20,000) has already been seen performing repetitive tasks on a simulated assembly line, dancing in simple choreographies, and even doing yoga.
But now, in the brand’s latest video, Optimus is seen folding a piece of clothing on its own, with all the care and precision required for such a… human task.
The first Tesla with two legs is about 1.80m tall, can carry loads up to 20kg, walk, and run.
But it won’t be difficult to overpower or outrun it, Elon Musk assured. “Anyone who can run at more than 8 km/h won’t have any problems,” he joked in one of the presentations to the public.
