The big surprise at the initial Tesla AI Day in 2021 was Tesla's plan for an actual human-like, or 'humanoid,' robot. (Though, our own Chanan Bos did predict that type of product.) Some basic details
For a “Motion Planning & Navigation, Tesla Bot” job opening, Tesla writes, “Tesla is on a path to build humanoid bi-pedal robots at scale to automate repetitive and boring tasks. Core to the Tesla Bot, the motion planning stack presents a unique opportunity to work on state-of-the-art algorithms for motion planning and navigation culminating in their deployment to real world production applications.
We should learn much more about Tesla’s progress on the Tesla Optimus bot in a few days, at Tesla’s second AI Day event on September 30, 2022. We will see how far the concept has come. Will Optimus go on sale next year? In 3 years? We’ll see what Tesla CEO Elon Musk says in a couple of days. Note, Autopilot/AI team is also working on Optimus and summon/autopark, which have end of month deadlinesElon Musk has long talked about Tesla’s innovation in building “the machine that builds the machine,” and in recent years, he has emphasized in public and in private DMs to me that he sees manufacturing becoming Tesla’s #1 area of competitive advantage, the top way in which Tesla will outshine its peers.
Musk has big hopes for Optimus generally, thinking that it may even become a bigger deal for Tesla than the cars the company creates. “This, I think, has the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business over time,” he said earlier this year. Where better to test out and refine the Optimus than in Tesla’s own factories? If it can evolve well there, it can surely be used in other factories, in homes, and in other capacities.
