It was just last year that the droid was struggling to walk on stage.
represented the first time the droid had walked without support, but it was hard to be too impressed by its hesitant and clumsy movements, especially coming more than a year after Boston Dynamics released footage of its Atlas robot running through an obstacle course with relative ease. It didn’t help that another Optimus unit had to be wheeled out on stage, either.
Tesla has yet to announce a firm timetable for when Optimus will hit the market. Musk has said that the robot, which he expects to cost around $20,000, could be ready in three to five years, but that’s as close as he has come to setting a schedule. If the robot continues to pick up skills at its current pace, that day could be much closer than anyone outside the company realizes.
