Optimus Features

Optimus is a humanoid robot that is approximately 1.73 meters tall and weighs 57 kg. Designed to work in the same environment as humans, this robot can carry loads of up to 20 kg and reach speeds of 8 km/h. Utilizing Tesla's autonomous driving technology, Optimus is equipped with advanced artificial intelligence and sensors. The robot, which has evolved since the first prototype (2022), offers smoother movements, a compact design, and increased functionality with the Gen 1 and Gen 2 models. Gen 2 stands out especially with its more elegant appearance and improved dexterity.

Areas of Use and Vision

Tesla plans to use Optimus in a wide range of applications, from moving materials in factories to helping with chores at home. For example, it envisions a world where Optimus could one day carry groceries or replace humans in dangerous jobs. According to Musk, the ultimate goal of the robot is to “increase human economic productivity” and solve labor shortages in the long term.

Tesla's Robotic Approach

Optimus is based on artificial intelligence infrastructure derived from Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) technologies. The company aims to make the robot affordable through mass production, so much so that Musk stated in an interview that Optimus could be “cheaper than a car.” Recent developments, unveiled at the “We, Robot” event in 2024, show Optimus dancing, recognizing objects, and interacting with humans.

Why Optimus?

Tesla Optimus is not just a robot, but also has the potential to be a future business partner. With this project, the technology giant aims to make human life easier and push the boundaries of artificial intelligence. Although it is still in the development phase, Optimus definitely reflects Tesla's innovative spirit. You can follow Tesla's official channels for more information!
