Product Description
Optimus is Tesla’s long-anticipated humanoid robot. First teased in 2021 with a dancer dressed in a bodysuit, the company has made steady advances to realize its humanoid vision. Its current model, Optimus Gen 2, can walk in straight lines, balance on one leg, lift objects, recognize different environments and traverse uneven terrains. Powering its hardware is a central computer that relies on AI, deep learning and computer vision. While there is no exact release date, Tesla CEO Elon Musk plans to begin production of Optimus units in 2025, contingent on securing a rare earth metals contract with the Chinese government. Ultimately, Musk plans to have millions of units by 2029 operating in Tesla factories.
