Mask presents a “robot” that looks like a human

Elon Musk presented two first models of the human-like robot “Optimus”, which his company “Tesla” hopes to produce “in the millions” one day, in order to “change civilization” and build a “prosperous future” in which poverty disappears. Bumble C, a first version of the robot, cautiously entered a California theater and witnessed the annual Tesla AI Day conference on the company’s AI progress.

The robot drew a salute by hand, and appeared in a video clip bringing a package to an employee and watering the plants. Staff also brought in a more advanced Optimus prototype, which has fewer exposed cables but is not yet able to walk on its own.
