Tesla has released the prototype of Optimus (also known as the Tesla Bot). According to its website, this robot is “a general purpose, bi-pedal, autonomous humanoid robot capable of performing unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks.”
Taking in the mail, doing the dishes, folding laundry and countless other tasks will now be able to be completed for you. Other promotional videos and material have referred to Optimus as a “friend” as well as a robotic task-completer.
“It will basically do anything you want,” said Tesla CEO Elon Musk. “It can be a teacher. It can babysit your kids, walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, and serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do and it’s going to be awesome,” he continued.
This “friend” will cost you $20,000 to $30,000 and be made available in the next few years. Its recent launch party has brought much feedback on social media. Many people are amazed by what the robot can do and are interested in purchasing it. Like many of the recent advances in artificial intelligence, the pitch is that you don’t have to waste your time doing things that you don’t want to do anymore.
