Recently, Tesla announced new job openings related to Tesla Bot on its official website’s career page. There are a total of four positions for the development of humanoid robots, all based at Tesla’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California.
Currently, two of the four positions are mechanical engineering roles, one focused on actuator gear design and systems, and the other on the mechanical design and actuator assembly integration of Tesla Bot.
The other two positions are for senior humanoid electromechanical robot architect and senior humanoid modeling robot architect. These positions are mainly to help the humanoid robot team build Tesla Bot and complete the overall architectural design of Tesla Bot.
At this year’s Tesla AI Day, Tesla announced plans to manufacture the humanoid robot Tesla Bot, which uses Autopilot’s cameras for visual perception and the FSD chip as its computing core.Tesla CEO Elon Musk has stated that “the robot can replace humans to perform repetitive, dangerous, or boring tasks,” and Tesla’s goal is to launch a prototype of Tesla Bot by 2022. With less than a few months left until 2022, Tesla’s speed in operating this project seems to be quite fast, and Tesla does not want to make Tesla Bot just a “PPT” product for technical exhibitions, but is really slowly implementing it.
Currently, Boston Dynamics is still in the world’s top level in the field of manufacturing humanoid and bionic robots. It may take time for Tesla to achieve its claimed title of “the world’s largest robot company,” and breakthrough various technical barriers.
Although Tesla Bot is still in the conceptual stage, it is still far from producing a prototype. But by laying out a blueprint for the future and gathering talents to realize “crazy ideas” that others dare not think of, “Silicon Valley Iron Man” Musk will always bring us one surprise after another.
