In the future, Tesla will also test its humanoids in its own factories, considering them as a replacement for human workers.
At a presentation held in San Francisco, a robot walked across the stage and waved to the audience. In addition, Tesla showed a clip in which the humanoid performs small operations: watering flowers, carrying boxes, and also lifting metal rods at the company's plant in California.
Musk said that the presentation of the robot is part of the journey to turn Tesla into a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, and not just “a company that produces cool cars”.
Musk talked about plans to create a humanoid robot last year. Then he announced that he would work under the control of the Dojo computer and neural networks capable of navigating in space and recognizing the world. The height of the robot will be 172 centimeters, and the weight will be 57 kilograms. Instead of a face, the humanoid will have a screen with useful information.
