Tesla Introduces Optimus Humanoid Prototype: Here's the First Look

Tesla Inc. TSLA on Friday evening showed off a prototype of its humanoid in development - the Optimus bot. The bot is designed to be “extremely used” and production is aiming for volumes.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says Optimus could cost less than $20,000.

The bot is built with biology-inspired Tesla-designed actuators and can move its fingers, the company says. The company demonstrated how the robot is designed to sustain injuries in the event of a fall.

The bot consumes 100W while sitting and 500W while walking briskly. He weighs 73 kilograms. The degrees of freedom are greater than 200.

"The bot is going to do everything a human brain does," said one of the Tesla team members at the AI ​​Day event.
