As you can see in the image, there are robotic hands of the actual Tesla Optimus prototype. Last year, when the company announced this project, Musk brought a human in a robot custom on stage, which was obviously a joke. In January, the CEO said that Tesla is prioritizing product development of the robot in 2022 over other products. He further believes that the humanoid robot business should become bigger than Tesla’s automotive business: The company hopes that Optimus is the best solution to the labour shortage. Tesla plans to leverage its existing expertise in power electronics and batteries for electric vehicles to build the robot and use its AI expertise to give it a brain. Tesla plans for the robot to improve over time and be able to perform a wider range of tasks that would make it useful for both commercial and consumer applications.
