The Optimus prototypes introduced by Tesla on AI Day, i.e. Artificial Intelligence Day, attracted everyone's attention. The new robot, which is touted as Tesla Optimus, will help with the jobs that people do.
The Tesla robot, which is currently in the prototype stage, can walk, swing its arms and hold things with its fingers. Elon Musk aims to sell this robot for $ 20,000 and plans to put it on sale by 2027.
The Optimus robots will be used to speed up production at Tesla's factories before they are available for sale as a product. In this process, the errors of the robots will be optimized by evaluating the usage. In other words, we can say that the first user of robots will again be the manufacturer Tesla. It would not be wrong to say that the Optimus robots will be used in SpaceX, which is owned by Elon Musk again. Of course, after these processes, it will be available for sale to everyone.
What are the capabilities and technical characteristics of Optimus?
Tesla is planning to make a robot that can do almost everything that a human can do. The Tesla Optimus will weigh 60 kg and be about 160 high. The robot will have enough battery to work for hours. It is expected that Optimus will be able to follow your verbal instructions to perform various tasks, including mundane but complex tasks, such as collecting your laundry.
The technical characteristics of Optimus are as follows:
- Processor: Tesla
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi and LTE
- Battery: 2.3 kWh, 52V
- Power Requirements: 100W sitting, 500W walking
- Battery life: 4 to 23 hours
- Motors: 6 type 28 structural actuators
- Carrying capacity: 9kg per hand
- Speed: 8.5km/h
- Design: Humanoid robot with biomimetic joints
- Vision: Eight autopilot cameras
- Hearing aid: One or more microphones
- Sound: One or more speakers
- Weight: 75 kg
- Software: Tesla Full Self-Driving technology
How can Tesla, a car company, produce a robot?
According to Elon Musk, there is almost no difference between making a robot in connection with autonomous driving technologies. Dec. Because autonomous driving technologies are also being developed on an artificial intelligence base. Therefore, autonomous robots can also help people in everyday tasks using this technology. It is quite similar for a Tesla car to travel from point a to point b without human intervention and for a robot to relieve people's burden in areas such as factories, homes and offices by understanding instructions.
Why does Optimus look like a human?
Can Optimus take our job away from us?
Since Optimus is designed to be able to do what a human being can do, some fear that it will replace the jobs currently done by humans. While this is certainly a reasonable concern, Musk rejects this idea. He claims that there is a worldwide labor shortage and a rapidly declining population.
There are some indications that this theory is valid, but not everyone agrees. To further address Optimus' concerns about stealing human jobs, Musk describes a utopian future in which the Tesla robot is engaged in dangerous and unpleasant jobs, giving people the freedom to explore creative and inspiring jobs or just enjoy a life full of free time.
