Tesla plans humanoid robot soon
Print Edition
Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk says the electric automaker will probably launch a 鈥淭esla Bot鈥 humanoid robot prototype next year, designed for dangerous, repetitive, or boring work that people don鈥檛 like to do.
Speaking at Tesla鈥檚 AI Day event, the billionaire entrepreneur said the robot, which stands around 145 centimeters tall, would be able to handle jobs from attaching bolts to cars with a wrench, or picking up groceries at stores.
The robot would have 鈥減rofound implications for the economy,鈥 Musk said, addressing a labor shortage. He said it was important to make the machine not 鈥渟uper-expensive.鈥
The AI Day event came amid growing scrutiny over the safety and capability of Tesla鈥檚 鈥淔ull Self-Driving鈥 advanced driver assistant system.
Musk didn鈥檛 comment on that scrutiny over the safety of Tesla technology but said that he was confident of achieving full self-driving with higher safety than humans using current in-car cameras and computers.
US safety regulators last week opened an investigation into Tesla鈥檚 driver assistant system because of accidents where Tesla cars crashed into stationary police cars and fire trucks.
Two US senators have also called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Tesla鈥檚 claims for its 鈥淔ull Self-Driving鈥 system.
Tesla last week unveiled chips it designed in-house for its high-speed computer, Dojo, to help develop its automated driving system. Musk said Dojo would be operational next year.
Tesla will also introduce new hardware for its self-driving computer for its Cybertruck electric pick-up truck in 鈥渁bout a year or so.鈥
Tesla in July delayed the launch of its much-anticipated Cybertruck from this year, without giving a timeframe.
