Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed a working prototype of humanoid robot at Tesla AI day 2022

Image: Tesla

According to Musk, it can do more than what has been shown, but “the first time it walked without a tether was tonight on stage.” Musk said they’re targeting a price of “probably less than $20,000.”The back doors of the stage opened to reveal a deconstructed Optimus that walked forward and did a “raise the roof” dance move. Musk would admit after the motion that they wanted to keep it safe and not make too many moves on stage and have it “fall flat on its face.

It contains a 2.3kWh battery pack, runs on a Tesla SoC, and has Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity. A demonstration showed how the knee of the robot was inspired by an actual human knee, built with multiple mechanical actuators with optimized joints. The hands are also human-inspired, and is designed to pick up various shaped and sized objects — and can carry a 20-pound bag in one hand.

Tesla can never reach the advancement level of Boston Dynamics. it's just a marketing event 💨

Looks like shit + u only got 1k likes.

Perfect for long-term space travel and building a city on Mars. “It snows on Mars in the summertime. Some want to drive cars up there. It’s not a place on my list to see. Not for You and Me.”

Just like him. Made in his image🫣🧐😂

Seemingly, everyone is focusing on the HW. The innovation is the AI/ML SW it uses to function. The HW form factor, while very good for 6 months of work, is not revolutionary, but Tesla's focus is economic mass production and durability there, not revolution.

What the hell is that? Quite embarrassing, the bot of my son moves much better.

The Windows 95 launch had much better energy

How about they devote 100% of their AI efforts to working on the FSD that 100s of thousands have already paid for

When do they change the name to “Skynet”?

Another next level in crypto-technology that WILL be able to do this and WILL be able to do that. Send me your money and get in on the ground floor. Thank me later.

Its happening tariqnasheed fba

New snake oil just dropped

I dont know about you all but the purpose of this robot just seems to be to devalue people labor, help an oligarch accumulate welth and this robot doesn’t pay taxes. I don’t see the benefits of having this robots in our society.

they've set such a high bar for humanoid robots this seems like a step back to me, almost like the difference between the proposal and result for a project for a school fair

Robot McRobotface

'Tesla CEO Elon Musk Unveils Shitty Robot' fixed it

Fritz Lang's Metropolis made on a Blake's 7 budget.

Can't wait for it to never come out

I don't understand why Elon would hold this at 6:15 on a Fri night (9:15 EST). Who is watching that? TeslaAIDay2022

Optimus robot most usefull function is to listen to your gf while you play video games.

Where is Sarah Connor? why

Wasn’t he against robots this man is a contradiction of himself

At this point elonmusk is just going full Elizabeth Holmes on us

g chaw very t lcvt My d vuowuv tAgogeit

The unveil did NOT look like this

The real question is did elonmusk get a look at the JaduAVAs before releaseing this AI bot? Maby hes friends with michaelbay and it peeked his intrest AugmentedReality ArtificialIntelligence Robots

If anyone watch the matric anime series this is spooky

Meh.

Or

We’ve seen in movies how well this works out. 🤭

I think we’ve all seen what happens here

Robot is mids

Looks shit m8

Hhahahahahaha pathetic

Nope

Elon Got Optimus Prime in real life.....true nerd!!

Elon Musk: Robots are dangerous Also, Elon Musk: here’s a new Tesla Robot

A missed opportunity to call it the Tesla 800.. or T-800 for short

Lol, jesus.

Our jobs are safe for at least another 20 years 😅

if it works like the tesla cars, we dont have worry to about a robot apocalipse, they will malfuction anyway

The comment session gives me hope if future of humanity

the human form is such an inefficient shape to a machine. It really is hubris that we're making them in our image as if we were God.

The wiener hole looks really small.

MahsaAmini💔

⚪️ people are incompetent human beings

Elon Musk is the Justin Hammer of the Pontiac Aztek.

Hahaha

Sorry Elon, but… KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!

The batteries probably fail and they leave you out to dry.

Surprised he didn't name it Optimus Grimes

looks like shit

Bro wtf is this Ossimo was doing this shit 20 years ago

I’m just trying to figure out what use it will be, is it gonna walk around outside and impress people for 5 min, is it gonna cook and clean, or just go straight to taking over the world?

Are you Sarah Conner?

This looks like set dressing for a bad B-Movie about a kid “genius” who created a robot out of an old toaster and a washing machine

it is not a Prime, that's for sure.

So unbelievably pathetic

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha Tim and Eric looking ass robot musk is king of the grifters

The man is basically starting the terminator origin story in real life. For the love of God protect all Sarah and John Connors at all costs

Ummm... no.

First impression: This looks like a hastily assembled prop made for a Disney Channel sitcom.

It’s happening

Rich boys and their toys. It would be nice if he'd grow up and focus on ways to genuinely impact the world in a positive way. 🙄

*That's* not sexy at *all*.

Anyone else having BattlestarGalactica flashbacks with this? Hello Cylons

Peewee had Elon beat along time ago

Yup, right on schedule.

They just gonna let it’s robussy hang out like that

Maybe this robot can be president

So Elon is making terminator. Awesome 🤦‍♂️

Maybe in the distant future robots will no longer walk as if they have to poop 🤣

It’s amazing how embarrassing this is.

Here I designed the stop control for it!

I'm scared

looks like shit

Yea no thank you

This movie NEVER ends well..

ha what garbage

good news boys: it’s fuckable

famous last words -that's pretty cool

Sooo we're getting closer to Skynet? Hm, Elon? Elon, no. Stop it.

I wonder how strong it is? It’s going to need a lot of armor for its true purpose. Policing and protest suppression. As usual dumb techbros are excited because they think these things will just be bartenders and DoorDash drivers. The future is a nightmare

This is just the beginning of skynet taking over. future

Can it give me happy endings?

Only a true introvert would make this. This would be great for immunocompromised to interact with the public. This should not be a fully automatic robot.

We're doomed

Yep, that future third generation+ robot will be taking 100M+ jobs in the entire world. 30M in America alone in manufacturing.

Why does this look like something out of:

Boston Dynamics right now

Fuck Elon, StreamBBC the debut single of actor/comedian/writer/and now musician Jaboukie Young-White out NOW on streaming platforms and YouTube

Ohmigod, it's R.O.T.O.R. rifftrax rotor

'I knew Optimus. Optimus was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Optimus.' Transformers

But, does it serve butter?

Will this be out before or after the cyber truck and before or after self driving?

Hola

And so it begins.

It's funny how you hear people say all the time that robots and AI will be the downfall of humans, but when Elon Musk does it then it's benefits mankind? Lmao wow, people really simp for this man for nothing. Cringe

This is insulting to me

Essentially Tesla created an elderly robot 😆 Complete with arthritis minus the crapping of diapers...

People be comparing Boston dynamics when know nothing about robotics.

Lol that's the worst robot I've seen in a good while

Think of all the hungry people this will feed. Very important and necessary.

Disappointed

Remember that scene in 'I Robot' where Will Smith shoots the robots in the head? I kind of want him to do it again right now. That thing is creepy. Also, how DARE he call it Optimus. We already have a robot with that name!

You can see the vapors of the ware are all around it.

The humanoid robot providing for help in the nursing home restaurant or home is a mistaken. Not only would there be little if any economic or productivity gain entailed in replacing unskilled labor by a robot costing who knows how many dollars. As opposed. Paying human labor cost

Y

Ah hell nah that’s a springlock suit 💀

🤖

them thighs are JUCIEY

Great. He can't even create a car that stops for kids, but pushes forwards to create a robot that'll finish off the rest of the family.

That's me

I love Tesla as a whole, but this is lame.

Optimus Prime is a 4 million year old robot from the planet Cybertron.

Does it give happy endings after his massages?

Can you please also post every soundbite of Elon denouncing AI due to the danger factor?

Kraftwerk did it before...

Can we fuck it yet

He probably won't go through with it like most projects. Fraud.

Optimus sub prime

Justin Hammer, Iron Man 2. That’s this.

pls add a self destruct button ty

Elon really needs to stop using the names of actual good creations with his crap.

Optimus Subprime.

Once again Musk makes a shittier version of something we already have.

I guess they worked out some of the glitches.

They had to walk it out like a puppet because the thing didn't work

Today I unveiled my own prototype flying machine... just you wait naysayers... in 10-15 years i will be 30 years behind the competition when my vision is realized!

He thinks he’s him:

What kind of Optimus Amazon Prime bs is this?!!! I’m bout to PayPal flexplay the sh*t outta this cheap, base model mfr. Where do I order? I see u, Elon. All it’s missing is the very white skin and a lot of kids. U ain’t slick. Does that thing have your DNA programmed in it?

Somebody call Hasbro's legal department.

Looks like shit

It exploded shortly thereafter.

We're not ready yet, but fuck it I guess

Blah blah blah Boston dynamics blahhhhh. Yes BD has incredible Hardware and software, I love the company too. Tesla done this in 6-8 months.... that's it....

Why does anyone need this? What is the honest to God purpose of building a 'humanoid Optimus robot'

Meanwhile

thunderf00t ,make us laugh please. Hahaha

elonmusk You Have Become the Very Thing You Swore to Destroy!!!!

Geoff Peterson would like a word.

this is really bad

Very disappointed there way better robots out there. Boston Dynamic has better robots.

It doesn’t do anything

they wheeled it out like a fridge...LMFAO

And it's shit.

Meanwhile real robotics companies are laughing at this amateurish nonsense.

Put a pink wing on it and you can fire every twitter employee

Last week he was mocking NASA for being able to slam an object as big as a refrigerator into an asteroid the size of a football field from 7 million miles away at 14,000 mph… …and yet he thought *this* was impressive?

In 6 months they were taking first steps. This thing is 2 or 3 years from being fully production ready

Tell Elon just buy Boston Dynamics

Is this what they've been doing with all their recalled car computers? Shoving them in robots that aren't allowed to go more than 2mph?

It's frustrating coz most people will dismiss this, (it's not for them anyway it's to recruit talent) but this is huge for the future of the economy and our lives in general, great stuff man

me he enamorado

The robot can serve briefly as a vapid headline generator.

Get ready for fish! And plankton! Sea greens! Protein from the sea!

Is there a person in recorded history whose skill set is more overrated than Elmo Musk? He does a lot of things - none of them well.

It’s ok honey, mommy and daddy’s friend OPTIMUS is going to watch you tonight

It's really exciting to see Tesla joining the human-centric robotics field. There are a lot of great companies who all share the vision of bringing useful robots to the world. The more folks working on it the better the result.

cool college senior project

Terminator 0.0

Terminator 0.0

Megaman

Terminator T100

This thing is years away from even getting to where Boston Dynamics is today. And that is with just the easy stuff of moving. This is the equivalent of a college engineering class project. They are so far behind it is laughable.

can it serve briefly as a boat?
