During the 2022 edition of Tesla AI Day, which took place last Friday, Elon Musk revealed the latest progress on the Optimus Robot project. The robot was displayed on stage without any backup support or mechanical drive, and videos of the robot carrying out simple tasks like watering a plant or lifting metal bars were also shown. The company that is best known for electric cars will soon have another new product to show off as they are making significant progress in developing this artificial wonder. The Optimus program is in line with Tesla's goal of making a functional humanoid robot as quickly as possible. The Tesla CEO stated in his presentation, "Optimus is designed to be an extremely capable robot and is expected to cost way less than a car at a price of 20,000 dollars or even less."

Amazon Alexa is a virtual assistant technology largely based on a Polish speech synthesiser named Ivona, bought by Amazon in 2013. It is integrated into Amazon Echo and Echo Dot smart speakers as well as Echo Show and Echo Spot devices. Alexa's technology allows users to access a wide variety of functionality and information, such as playing music, setting alarms, triggering reminders, streaming podcasts, making to-do lists, playing audiobooks, and updating traffic, weather, sports, and other real-time information, such as local news. Alexa can perform these functions out-of-the-box, usually triggered by a "wake-word" to alert an Alexa-enabled device of a vocal command. Alexa listens for the command and performs the appropriate function, or task, to answer a question or command.
