Tesla will make a new humanoid robot
Tesla is one of those companies that is committed to innovation and every so often surprises us with something new. This time, we have the news that the company wants to create a humanoid robot.
And, in the words of Elon Musk, this would be the most powerful humanoid robot in the world.
The Tesla Bot will be a new robot created by the company that will have the ability to perform various tasks. As the company has said, it will be designed for "general" use, that is, it seeks to replace humans in tasks that are unsafe, repetitive or boring.
This humanoid robot is already in development, and it is expected that in 2022 the company will present a first prototype of it.
However, as has become known from promotional images, this one will have a rather elegant and polished design.
Elon Musk behind this idea?
As expected, the architect behind this idea is none other than Elon Musk and this tycoon has ideas that may seem somewhat daring, but could be successful.
In this case, it seeks to use the artificial intelligence technology that Tesla currently includes in its cars to bring the Tesla Bot to life. And this will be the most "powerful" and advanced humanoid robot in the world.
With this robot, the company seeks to go one step further in automation and, of course, a humanoid robot would have a lot to contribute to this new future that they plan to create.
It all started as a joke
In the presentation, the company presented the robot, which could move and perform some movements that were not those of a robot.
Then it became known that it was only a person in disguise, and it was Elon Musk himself who made this known.
However, once the farce was dismantled, the official presentation of this project was made.
The first images were shown on slides, and it was something that revolutionized the event. Everyone present was waiting to know what would be next and what characteristics it would have.
Get to know Tesla Bot a little more
This new robot that many have dubbed the Tesla Bot, has the name Optimus, and it is an aseptic robot with a futuristic design. It will have a height of 1.72 meters (similar to the average height of a person).
Additionally, we have that this robot will have a weight of 57 kilograms and will be able to travel up to a maximum of 8 kilometers per hour.
It will be able to lift an approximate weight of 68 kilograms, as well as be able to move and transport objects up to 20 kilograms.
In order to move, this robot will use 40 electromechanical actuators that will be distributed around the body of the robot.
This will ensure that you can move in a much more fluid way. It has even been said that he could have "autonomous thinking".
In Elon Musk's own words, this robot is going to be real, and it wouldn't be too long to see it in action. And it is that, it is expected to have a prototype for the 2022.
