Tesla’s AI Day 2022 event, which ended a few hours ago, gave us a few very clear images about how the future will be shaped. Tesla’s first humanoid robot, Optimus, which was announced last year and whose concept images were shown, finally made its debut.

Although the final version of Tesla’s exciting and highly anticipated Optimus humanoid robot is not yet ready, its development stages have also been revealed, with news of a prototype and a robot working in the factory, both of which are in different stages.

Introducing Optimus

First on stage, Tesla’s completed robot prototype ‘Bumble C’‘ came out and did a few dance moves. Later, a video was released showing some functional moves, such as moving boxes, to show that the robot can do much more than just dance moves.

Then the Optimus prototype, which Tesla had been in development for a while and approaching production level, came on the scene. not fully functional. Musk says this prototype includes actuators, battery and everything else, but for now “not quite ready to walk‘ he stated.

According to Musk, Optimus For a price tag of under $20,000 and will be able to do much more than what Bumble C can do. Musk in factories with Optimus robots that can work in car production He said that the way will be opened. This means that in the future Tesla can use its own robots to manufacture its own vehicles.
