• Musk: "Tesla AI Day postponed to September 30"

Recently, Musk twitted on Twitter that Tesla may launch a working humanoid prototype in the next few months, internally named Optimus.

• Optimus is the most important product development project in 2022

It is reported that Optimus is the most important product development project in 2022, possibly even more important than the automotive business, and production of the first humanoid robot will begin in 2023. Musk revealed that Optimus will be able to do a lot of things humans don't want to do, and said the robot will usher in an "era of abundance." On December 19, 2021, in an in-depth interview, Musk once again mentioned that he wants to let robots do dangerous and boring jobs that humans are unwilling to do.

In addition, this humanoid robot combines Tesla's AI technology, that is, the automatic driving technology based on the prediction ability of the visual neural network nervous system, and the DOJO D1 supercomputer chip with extremely strong computing power. Seamlessly connected together, the delay between adjacent chips is extremely low, and the training module achieves the maximum bandwidth retention. With Tesla's own high-bandwidth, low-latency connectors, the computing power is as high as 9PFLOPs (9,000). trillion times).

In addition, Musk also foresees that in the future Tesla's robots may even become human companions. It can be individualized, and over time, he may develop a unique personality, not all robots are the same.
