Tesla's humanoid robot or Optimus, who had attracted a lot of attention in recent weeks by publishing a video of folding his clothes, has gone further this time and can now walk completely naturally.
It wasn't long ago that Tesla CEO Elon Musk released a progress video on the latest model of the series' humanoid robots, in which Optimus could pick up a shirt and fold it properly. This video shows that Tesla's new robot is rapidly improving motor skills and can now handle tasks that require high precision. In the latest video shared by Elon Musk on his X (formerly Twitter) account, he shows Optimus, which in its new update has gained the ability to walk naturally and smoothly and can simulate human walking.
In Musk's video, we see the humanoid robot walking around the Tesla facility building, amazingly simulating the movements of a walking human. Noteworthy is Optimus' smooth and vibration-free movement, which is different from the dry movements of robots we've seen before. The audience of Video Mask believes that the movements of this robot look very natural and exactly like a human trying to take sneaky and secret steps!
Although in the published videos, Optimus does not ask for help from any human; But Elon Musk has announced that this robot is not independent in performing its tasks as shown in the images and cannot act completely autonomously. However, he and Tesla's engineering team are optimistic about the future of Optimus and believe that in the near future, the robot will be able to operate fully autonomously.
Tesla's humanoid robot was introduced during Tesla's AI Day event in 2021, and the initial performance of this robot is significantly different from what we see today. At the time of introduction, Tesla Optimus was able to dance, water plants, talk and even walk; But his movements weren't that different from other humanoid robots we'd seen up to that point, and Optimus' dry, artificial gait made it far from a true human simulator. But now it seems that the tide has turned and this robot is fast approaching a clone of us. Tesla's last official display of its products dates back to the introduction of Optimus Gen 2 in 2023, during which it unveiled a more advanced version of the robot equipped with new and advanced capabilities.
What do you think about this? Will Tesla's robots progress so much that in the future, it will not be possible to easily distinguish the difference between them and humans? Share your thoughts about Tesla's Optimus robot with us.
