Social RoboticsTesla announces plans for a humanoid Tesla Bot
At its AI Day event Tesla said it would build a general-purpose humanoid running its self-driving AI.
Elon Musk announced the Tesla Bot at AI Day, saying a prototype would follow the next year. The robot was described as about 172 cm tall, 56 kg and able to walk at up to 5 mph, with Autopilot cameras and a screen in its head and Tesla's self-driving computer inside. It was pitched for unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks such as fetching groceries, and Musk joked that it was intended to be friendly. The announcement helped spark a new wave of interest in general-purpose humanoids that would later shape expectations of robots in homes.
