Tesla Optimus

Tesla Optimus is a general-purpose humanoid robot designed to perform tasks that are unsafe, repetitive, or boring for humans. This advanced robotic system, developed by Tesla, Inc., aims to revolutionize various industries by enhancing productivity and safety through its ability to handle a wide range of tasks.

Key features:
- Height and Weight: Stands at 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm) tall and weighs 125 pounds (57 kg).
- Carrying Capacity: Able to carry up to 45 pounds (20 kg).
- AI System: Controlled by the same AI system used in Tesla's advanced driver-assistance systems for vehicles.
- Task Versatility: Capable of handling tasks such as manufacturing assistance, sorting objects, and other repetitive or dangerous activities.
- Enhanced Capabilities: Second generation features improved hands, faster walking, a slimmer figure, and new abilities like dancing and cooking.

How it works:
1. Utilizes Tesla's advanced AI for vision and planning.
2. Operates using efficient inference hardware.
3. Employs software stack for balance, navigation, perception, and physical interaction.
4. Users interact through pre-programmed tasks and real-time commands.
5. Leverages Tesla's neural networks and autonomy algorithms.

Integrations:
- Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system
- Dojo supercomputer system

Use of AI:
Optimus operates using Tesla's proprietary AI models and neural networks, which are also employed in the company's autonomous vehicle technology. These models are trained on extensive datasets collected from Tesla's fleet of vehicles, enabling the robot to perform complex tasks with high accuracy.

AI foundation model:
Tesla leverages its own AI models and neural networks for Optimus, which are trained using the company's vast data resources and computational infrastructure.

Target users:
- Manufacturing facilities
- Warehouses
- Potential household applications

How to access:
Optimus is expected to be available for sale by the end of 2024 as a commercial product. It is not open source.
