At Tesla's Investor Day 2023, a new video was presented featuring the Optimus humanoid robots, which can now walk and perform various tasks, 19 months after their initial announcement. Elon Musk explained that the speed of development is impressive, as they now have a few Optimus robots that can walk and use opposable thumbs.
The video demonstrated two robots assembling a third, highlighting their capabilities. Unlike other companies, Tesla's robots will have the most advanced artificial intelligence, and they have developed custom drives for the Optimus.
Elon Musk stated that the potential of this direction is not yet fully realized by investors, but in the future, the robots may surpass Tesla's automobile division in terms of business volume. It's worth noting that Boston Dynamics has been working on humanoid robots for over 30 years, but Tesla's approach is unique, with a focus on custom technology for humanoid robots.
