Tesla's Optimus bots said controlled by humans at Robotaxi event
) Optimus humanoid robot stole the show at last week’s Robotaxi event. The robots were dancing, serving drinks, and entertaining patrons. However, according to the robots themselves, and now confirmed by Bloomberg News, citing people familiar, they were being controlled remotely by humans.by user @zhen9436, when he asked a bartending Optimus if it was being remote-controlled, the bot confirmed it."Today, I'm assisted by a human," the bot said."I'm not yet fully autonomous.
At the event, Musk said the Optimus bot could be Tesla’s largest product ever."It can be a teacher, babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks," Musk said about the bot."Whatever you can think of, it will do.” Musk said the Optimus bot would, at some point in the future, be available to buy for less than the price of a car, or $20,000-$30,000 each.
"The dexterity shown and developmental progress exhibited by the robots were off the charts," the analyst said."And, as Mr. Musk has pointed out before, the robotics industry currently does not have a well developed supply chain.
