Footage of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s humanoid robot Optimus carrying out everyday tasks by obeying human voice commands has gone viral.
In a video shared by Tesla (21 May), Optimus is seen doing household chores with human-like dexterity. The footage shows Optimus stirring a pot, vacuuming, and cleaning a table with a brush and dustpan.
Tesla claims each task was learned using videos from humans by employing real-time machine learning and object recognition. Posting on X, Musk dubbed Optimus the company’s ‘biggest product ever’.
The breakthrough will allow Tesla to widen their robots’ capabilities beyond pre-programmed tasks, and bettering adaptation to real life.
