Elon Musk has attracted the attention of the world with a recent video showcasing his Optimus robot.
In the footage, Musk was controlling the robot as it took a walk around the Tesla factory.
However, while some viewers may find this fascinating performance, others are expressing their concerns about the potential consequences of these robots.
Viewers expressed concern about the robot, which is 6 feet tall and weighs 150 pounds
The Optimus robot stands at an impressive height of nearly six feet and possesses remarkable capabilities.
It can walk at a speed of five miles per hour, lift weights of up to 150 pounds, and carry loads of up to 45 pounds.
These outstanding strengths make it different from the other robots, but they have also sparked concern among viewers.
Numerous viewers expressed their concern about Optimus Robot after Elon Musk shared the video on social media.
Some individuals joked that Elon Musk's performance would end badly, while others recognized Optimus' similarities to robots depicted in science fiction movies.
Optimus robot can perform common activities
A year after the launch announcement, Tesla showcased a prototype of the robot.
Although its capabilities were limited, it was able to demonstrate basic functionalities such as walking across the stage and waving.
The video also shows the Gen 2 Optimus robot doing impressive things. It can hold an egg without breaking it because its fingers have good touch.
In another video, Optimus showed its balance by doing yoga poses and standing on one leg.
Tesla, the company behind Optimus, says it can do tasks like picking up bolts with a wrench or helping with shopping.
One cool thing about Optimus is that it has the same computer system as Tesla's cars, called Autopilot. This helps the robot recognize and understand things in the real world.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, sees Optimus as a worker for factories. But he also thinks it could be a great companion, like the robots R2D2 and C3PO in Star Wars.
Elon Musk claims that Optimus robot can be seen as a friendly pet
Musk says it can be helpful and friendly, almost like having a pet.
Musk assured that the Tesla bot is not as dangerous as killer robots since an average person can physically overpower it.
He has expressed his concerns about AI, stating that it is more perilous than nuclear weapons and carries greater risks than countries like North Korea.
According to Musk, customers can buy Optimus between 2025 and 2027, and it will likely cost less than $20,000 (£16,000).
