On social media, many viewers were stunned after a viral video captured a shocking moment where Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, squats and poaches an egg.
On the X platform, the moment Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, squatted and poached an egg after the latest update gained attention and sparked debate.
Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, is making waves with its remarkable new capabilities.
The latest update showcases its progress as it masters increasingly complex tasks.
Optimus – The Future of Robotics
On social media, a video, Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduced the latest version of the Optimus robot, nicknamed “Gen 2.”
This new model, which walks 30% faster than the previous version, demonstrates Tesla’s rapid advancements in humanoid robotics.
Tesla’s tech team has been developing Optimus since its initial reveal in March.
Musk’s new video highlights the robot’s improvements, including the ability to squat, perform dance-like movements, and even handle delicate items like eggs—poaching them without breaking.
The video gained attention on social media
In the comments section, many viewers expressed their shock at the abilities of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus.
Others remarked that the latest Tesla robot update demonstrates the advancement of AI technology
One person said: Planning to purchase it sounds like a great investment
A second wrote: I’m absolutely thrilled not freaked out. This is WONDERFUL !
While a third commented: These are like non human – machines that are steered by people that couldn’t be payed and could not immigrate.
Someone else said: I wonder if there will be a day where humans are slaves for the robots running the world or a country…
Another added: There were Tesla employees walking around with remote controls doing all of that
The Optimus robot has impressive new features and design
Optimus has undergone significant upgrades.
Weighing 22 pounds less than its predecessor, it now has redesigned hands and feet, a sleek white exterior, and tactile sensors on its fingers, allowing it to interact more naturally with its environment.
However, its faceless appearance has led some to describe it as “creepy.”
According to Musk, Optimus will soon be able to lift and transport objects weighing up to 20 kg.
The robot’s official account on X (formerly Twitter) describes its capabilities as “performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive, or boring,” though Musk has mainly showcased its more exciting features online.
Moving beyond fancy moves
Tesla’s focus is not only on impressive stunts but also on practical applications.
The ultimate goal is to create a robot that can perform “real work in the real world” consistently and reliably.
Musk envisions a future where Optimus can contribute to labor efforts, creating what he describes as a “future of abundance” and “zero poverty.”
During Tesla’s 2022 AI Day, Musk discussed his vision for Optimus, highlighting its potential to revolutionize industries and support labor needs across various sectors.
Competition in humanoid Rrobotics
Tesla is not alone in the race to develop advanced humanoid robots. Agility Robotics, a competitor, is already testing its robots in warehouses, putting pressure on Tesla to accelerate its development timeline.
Musk has ambitious goals, aiming to bring Optimus to market by 2027. He recently announced at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting that he expects the majority of Tesla’s long-term value to come from Optimus.
Tesla’s Optimus bot continues to evolve, promising a future where robots play a significant role in everyday life.
