Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company aims to have two Optimus humanoid robots working autonomously in its factories by 2024. The Optimus robots, first unveiled in 2022, are designed to perform repetitive tasks and address labor shortages. Musk emphasized the importance of developing safe and reliable artificial intelligence (AI) systems for the robots. He stated that Tesla is prioritizing the development of AI software and hardware to enable the robots to navigate real-world environments. The Optimus robots are expected to have a range of capabilities, including lifting heavy objects, installing components, and performing other tasks currently done by human workers. Tesla plans to initially deploy the robots in its own factories before potentially offering them to other companies. Musk believes that humanoid robots could become a crucial part of the economy and help address labor shortages in various industries.
