The company Tesla Inc announced the appearance in 2022 of a prototype model of a humanoid robot Tesla Bot of its own design. This was reported on Friday, August 20, by CNBC.
The presentation of the company's new products took place at an event dedicated to artificial intelligence in the California city of Palo Alto, where the headquarters of Tesla Inc.is located.
American entrepreneur and founder of SpaceX Elon Musk said that the height of the robot will be 172 cm, weight-57 kg, instead of a face-a screen where useful information will be reflected. The legs and arms of the humanoid robot will be controlled using 40 servos. Balance and mobility will provide him with feedback on the efforts performed.
Musk also said that the robot will use some of the artificial intelligence devices. In particular, the vision of the car will be provided by cameras for self-driving cars from Tesla.
At the same time, as the entrepreneur noted, the robot will be useful in everyday life. The owners of the development can use the services of a" new family member " who will be able to go to the store and perform other everyday commands.
"It will be built by people for people. It will be user-friendly and will help to get rid of dangerous, monotonous and boring tasks, " Musk said.
