Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has showcased a prototype of a humanoid robot that, for the first time, "walked without a tether on stage" during the company's AI Day 2022. Named "Optimus", the robot has the same artificial intelligence (AI) software and sensors present in Tesla's advanced driver assistance system called'Autopilot' and may cost around $20,000. According to Musk, it was the first time it was working without "any support, cranes, mechanical mechanisms or cables". Musk told the audience late on friday that the humanoid robot is made for mass production in the "millions" of units. The robot contains a 2.3 kilowatt per hour battery pack which is "perfect for about a full day's worth of work", runs on a Tesla chip, and has Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, reports The Verge.
