On the morning of August 20th, Tesla livestreamed their AI Day, which drew attention with the introduction of the “Tesla Bot.”
Here is the information summarized:
-
The robot is about 1.72 meters tall and weighs around 56.7 kilograms, with well-proportioned body type.
-
The robot can move at a speed of 5 miles/hour and can carry up to 20 kilograms, with each arm able to hold a maximum of 4.5 kilograms.
-
The robot’s face is equipped with a display screen to show relevant information, although no demonstration was conducted at the event.
-
The robot’s entire body is made of lightweight materials and has 40 actuators (12 in each hand and leg, 2 in each knee, and 2 in the torso), with high level of fidelity compared to human hands.
-
The robot can sense force feedback through the design of its dual-axis foot structure.
-
In terms of sensing hardware, the robot uses the same Autopilot camera as Tesla cars, which can be understood as its eyes. Its local brain uses the same chip as FSD, and through neural network algorithms that can process inputs from multiple cameras, plus training from Dojo, the robot can achieve updates to its abilities.
The vision of Elon Musk is that the robot should “serve humans, be friendly to humans, and free humans from dangerous, repetitive, and boring work.”
Regarding this humanoid robot full of futuristic features, Musk also expressed concerns, saying “probably won’t work.”
The purpose of Musk showcasing the robot is to attract talent to join and leave a website for sign-ups.
