Musk, CEO of Tesla, Introducing a prototype robot called 'Optimus', similar in appearance to the Terminator. As we can see, a lot of high precision CNC machining is used to manufacture it. It is also equipped with a high-tech DOJO D1 supercomputer chip.
 

 

Optimus is equipped with a 2.3kWh battery pack, is about 172cm tall, weighs 73kg, consumes 100w when sitting still and 500w when walking slowly, and has more than 200 degrees of freedom throughout its body. Its bionic fingers are very flexible, with 27 degrees of freedom, and can walk naturally.
 

Optimus' bionic is not only the shape and movement of the bionic, behind this, Tesla wants to give it a human brain through AI technology.

It can flexibly lift the bottle to water the flowers, hands carry materials to the target location, accurately locate the surrounding people and actively avoid.

For its part, Tesla said that Optimus is designed based on the human body and wants to behave in a way that is as close to human behavior as possible. Just as Musk insisted years ago that autonomous driving should use vision algorithms like people, Optimus' hardware and software are designed to be as "human-like" as possible.
 

 

The Tesla robot has a total of 28 joints, each of which has multiple sets of actuators that analyze its execution efficiency in the background to reduce inefficient work. What's more, these actuators can achieve linear stretching under high pressure, for example, all can lift a piano of nearly half a ton.

In terms of production process, laser cutting and CNC machining are the processes that are used a lot

Since it is still a prototype, it is not yet possible to mass produce, so we can only do some simple human substitution. The more mature ways are, production line workers, fixed gravity activities such as moving large equipment, etc.

From an economic point of view, robots, if applied on a large scale, will replace part of the human labor force and is an irreversible process.

In the past, people were producers and consumers. If robots replace the labor force, some factories will be 0 manpower, and all of them will be converted to robots. By extension, it is likely to evolve to the point that robots will produce robots without human labor , and then complete the result of robot to factory production.

The emergence of robots will change the human structure, with a large surplus of labor.

So some intervention is needed, otherwise the future population will become a game for a few rich people without the fertility rate falling.

Optimus currently costs about $100,000 per unit, and can be reduced to $20,000 in the future.
