During their Tesla AI Day presentation, Tesla presented Tesla Bot, a humanoid robot project.
Despite the “interesting” start of a person dressed as a Tesla Bot dancing about, Elon Musk declared in his opening statement that the “Tesla Bot is real.” He explained that their vehicles are semi-sentient robots and that “it makes logical to place it onto a humanoid form.”
During the presentation, it was revealed that the Tesla Bot would stand at an average height of 5’8′′ and weigh 125 pounds. The robot will run at 5 mph and carry 45 pounds, with a deadlift of 150 pounds. According to other reports, the robot is equipped with 40 electromechanical actuators.
The Tesla Bot will be equipped with autopilot cameras and Tesla’s FSD computers in terms of AI. It will also have auto-labeling, simulation, and dojo teaching capabilities. According to their website, the overall goal is to undertake tasks that are dangerous, monotonous, or uninteresting. Furthermore, it will be a friendly robot.
