Tesla has announced that the Optimus robot could become the most ambitious product in the company’s history. Simultaneously, they have launched a recruitment drive to accelerate the development and prepare for mass production. The company envisions Optimus as a versatile humanoid robot capable of performing a wide range of tasks. Tesla believes that such devices could revolutionize labor and manufacturing economics.
In the quest for specialists in artificial intelligence, engineering, and production, Tesla aims to expedite the project’s mass production rollout. Tesla also highlights that the robot’s appearance and movements will increasingly resemble those of humans. The ultimate goal is for it to be perceived not as a traditional robot, but more like a human in a technological suit.
While Tesla has previously unveiled prototypes of Optimus, they have not disclosed the timeline for its full commercial launch. Notably, after the system’s launch in the Netherlands and Lithuania, the total distance covered with the activated assistant reached 20 million kilometers. In China, trials have begun for automated hair salons without human involvement, introducing satellite internet, solar charging, and other potential features.
Despite developing their own chips, Tesla and SpaceX remain in partnership with Nvidia. In Texas, fully autonomous Tesla vehicles have hit the streets.
