Tesla has released an exciting update on the Tesla Bot Optimus, significantly expanding the capabilities of this humanoid robot. The bot can now autonomously explore unknown areas, avoid obstacles and people, and create a map of its surroundings. These new features enable Optimus to carry heavier loads, climb stairs, and navigate uneven terrain.
Notably, the Tesla Bot can interact with humans. It responds to uncertain behavior and can hand over various objects upon request. These interactions are made possible by a neural network that runs locally in real-time on the bot’s hardware.
Optimus can now autonomously explore unknown spaces, avoid people and obstacles using neural networks. Multiple bots collaborate to build a shared understanding of their environment.
Additional updates include docking at charging stations, moving on uneven terrain, transporting heavier loads, and more.
The Future of the Tesla Bot
Tesla sees great potential in integrating humanoid robots into society on a large scale. The technology developed for the Tesla Bot is based on the advancements already achieved with their vehicles. With experience in mass production, Tesla has the necessary resources to make the Tesla Bot a daily companion.
Tesla Bot as a Party Trick
A notable appearance of the Tesla Bot occurred during the Tesla Robotaxi event. There, the bot was remotely controlled by employees to give attendees a taste of the future of robotics. Although some viewers were disappointed that the bot was not yet fully autonomous, the current update shows that the Tesla Bot is on its way to further development.
With each step, the Tesla Bot Optimus comes closer to the vision of creating a humanoid robot that can enrich our daily lives. The progress is promising and points to an exciting future!
