Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced in a Twitter post that the company has moved the date of its “AI Day” event from August to the end of September, perhaps to dampen backlash over news that it plans to lay off about 10 percent of its workforce. . A working Optimus prototype is expected to appear at this event.
Optimus is a robot designed to do heavy and repetitive tasks that will annoy and tire people. It was announced for the first time in August 2021, but this statement of Elon Musk, who kept the line between truth and deception very thin, did not receive a great reaction. Because the promotion night was the scene of a man in a robot costume who came on stage and did an extremely strange dance.
The artificial intelligence program that Tesla plans to use in this robot is still unable to prevent autonomous cars from hitting other vehicles while parking. Building a robot to replace humans is something no company in the world has yet come close to achieving. Even Boston Dynamics, which built one of the world’s most advanced bipedal robots, still describes its machines as experimental. The Atlas robot has been running for over a decade, but it still stumbles and falls every now and then.
