Tesla's Optimus Gen 2: Moving from Doubt to Potential

by Giorgi Kostiuk

2 years ago

In the past, Tesla introduced the new "Optimus Gen 2," the most recent version of its humanoid robot aimed at taking over repetitive tasks from humans.

This latest prototype displayed several improvements compared to its previous versions, gaining some credibility for a project that faced skepticism when initially announced years ago with a dancer posing as a robot.

Tesla believed it could achieve this by utilizing its advancements in artificial intelligence from its self-driving car project and its knowledge in batteries and electric motors. The company argued that its vehicles were essentially robots on wheels. Now, the next step is to give them a human-like shape to replace humans in specific tasks, mainly those that are repetitive or dangerous.

In a prior update on Optimus, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk mentioned that "Optimus materials are extremely undervalued" and predicted that demand could reach between 10 to 20 billion units.
