Elon Musk revealed the updated Optimus humanoid robot at Tesla AI Day 2022, and stated that it will probably cost less than $20,000 USD. Unlike Engineered Arts’ Ameca, Optimus is designed for mass production, just like Xiaomi’s CyberOne. Several prototypes were shown during the presentation, including one capable of dancing and another that can pick up boxes.
The second prototype shown had working limbs and fingers, but couldn’t walk. It weighs a hefty 161-pounds and powered by the same computing hardware found in Tesla’s autonomous vehicles, called FSD. Optimus has a battery pack with a 2.3 kilowatt hour capacity, which is “perfect for a full day’s work,” said one Tesla engineer, as it consumes about 100 watts of power sitting and 500 watts when walking briskly. Tesla says the robot’s body has over 200 degrees of freedom and could be trained with real-world environments rather than driving footage.
