[Original by Dongchedi Industry] On October 1, on Tesla Artificial Intelligence Day (AI Day), the Tesla humanoid robot Optimus Prime Prototype was officially unveiled on .
Tesla CEO Musk said, " is confident that it will achieve mass production of Tesla Bot at a lower cost, and the final output will reach millions of units, with a price expected to be less than US$20,000 (about RMB 142,000). "

Compared with Tesla's AI Day launch conference last year, a staff member wore special clothes and dressed up as a robot, showing a slightly awkward dance.
A year has passed, and Tesla has held another AI Day press conference this year. At the press conference, Tesla's humanoid robot slowly walked out and greeted everyone, danced a dance and ended the display; then, Tesla showed through video that the humanoid robot could mimic human bones through mechanical structures and complete a series of movements, such as moving boxes in a car factory, watering plants, moving metal rods, etc.

It is reported that Tesla robots can also be used in repetitive tasks, such as the assembly line of the automobile factory. Judging from the on-site picture, Tesla's robot has actually surpassed the robot on the assembly line, but has taken a step closer to walk and capture movements, making the joints more flexible, and can also carry more complex and meticulous work through visual processing.
The orange part of the humanoid robot is the "actuator", the blue part is the "battery pack",
According to the concept picture introduced by Tesla developers on the spot, the orange part of the humanoid robot is the "actuator", the blue part is the "battery pack", the battery capacity is 2.3 kilowatt-hour, 52V Pack voltage, and the brain supports WiFi, 4G LTE, audio, etc.
It is understood that Tesla humanoid robots rely on visual AI algorithms and learning. The robot can know the position of the hand in space and accurately take items. In addition, relying on vision + AI + learning, robots can be freely traveling through narrow spaces.
According to Musk, the humanoid robot uses Tesla's artificial intelligence software, as well as sensors similar to advanced driver assistance functions, with the same technology as the FSD beta version. At the same time, it said, "Home goal of is to create useful humanoid robots as soon as possible. Engineers are working hard to reduce the power consumption and number of parts of Optimus robots. ."

In addition, the Optimus head is equipped with the same camera and other sensor array as Tesla cars. The computing power supports it provided by the FSD (Full Self-driving) chip, and it also shares the AI system with the car, using the training mechanism of the Dojo supercomputer to improve the functions of the robot.
At the event site, Musk confidently stated that if robots are everywhere in the future, the human economy will develop better, and people can choose to do physical work, but this is not necessary, and we can choose more mental labor. In addition, Musk confirmed that the hands in Tesla's AI DAY main vision are from Tesla robots and are real shots.

It is understood that humanoid robots can reuse Tesla's autonomous driving and other technologies in terms of interaction and environment perception. Smart cars are equivalent to autonomous driving + wheeled robots, and human-computer interaction and environmental perception related technologies can be reused, and the logic of car companies to layout human-shaped robots is relatively smooth.
In Musk's view, in the process of creating the smart electric car , Tesla often interacts with the real world: "We develop automatic assisted driving, and at the same time customize a lot of hardware and software to enable them to run efficiently and achieve energy saving.We use the neural network to solve the problem of car navigation, and cars are like robots with four wheels. If you extend it into a robot with arms and legs, the challenge is to make the robot intelligent enough and interact with the environment in a wise way. "
It can be said that Tesla has found the core of future cars lies in intelligent iteration and the in-depth of AI capabilities. This AI capability not only becomes the core of Tesla electric vehicles, but also the core of Tesla Bot robots. In the future, when the core of humanoid robots shares the FSD system with intelligent driving, its evolution speed will undoubtedly grow further.
Tesla robots are still in the initial R&D stage. According to reports, the robot R&D team has launched the Optimus Prime Optimus prototype that you have seen in 6-8 months. It is not smooth enough at present. If we want to achieve what Musk said, we still need to continue to wait for "Optimus Prime" to grow up!
