Musk says humanoid robot ‘Optimus’ is not ready for mass production but predicts it would cost less than $20,000
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Friday the electric vehicle maker’s eagerly anticipated humanoid robot ‘Optimus’ would cost under $20,000 and cautioned it still had way to go before becoming fully functional.
Tesla said the company had developed a prototype for its robot in February. That early model walked out to wave at the crowd on Friday, and Tesla showed a video of it doing simple tasks, such as watering plants, carrying boxes and lifting metal bars at a production station at Tesla’s California plant.
But Tesla is alone in pushing the market opportunity for a mass-market robot that could also be used in factory work.
