[Trendingger]

 

Tesla has unveiled a new video showcasing the capabilities of its humanoid robot, Optimus. The video, which has already garnered over 5.5 million views, demonstrates the robot’s ability to perform basic factory tasks.

 

The Optimus robot, a brainchild of Tesla, is seen in the video using its end-to-end neural network to perform tasks such as sorting 4680 battery cells. The video highlights the robot’s ability to do so autonomously, even rectifying its own mistakes as it goes along.

 

 

The Optimus robot is not just a concept but is already being tested at one of Tesla’s factories. With each passing day, human interventions are decreasing as Optimus continues to improve. The video also showcases the robot taking a long stroll throughout the office, indicating its enhanced mobility.

 

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has given an update on the rollout of Optimus. He believes that Optimus will be used to perform real tasks inside actual Tesla factories by the end of the year. Furthermore, Musk said that he believes Tesla could start selling its Optimus humanoid robot to customers outside of the company by the end of 2025.

 

This development has sparked a debate among tech enthusiasts and industry experts, especially after the recent rounds of layoffs at the automaker. Some are impressed by the advancements, while others argue that the software development for the robot is still in its early stages.

 

How will the introduction of autonomous robots like Optimus reshape the future of work? Will they complement human efforts or replace them?
