Why is Tesla Making a Robot?
Tesla is in the works of Building a Humanoid Robot Prototype Called Tesla Bot, a friendly Robot That Will perform boring tasks and won't fight back.
Tesla's AI Day took place just a few days ago, broadcast live from a Budget-conscious Arena, somewhere in Palo Alto, in truth The event wasn't actually about robots at all, instead Tesla's, top technical brass gathered to breathlessly report on the latest progress They've made along the road to FSD fully self driving cars the plan to inspire and ultimately recruit the next wave of talent that will Propel Tesla into the future.

Tesla Dojo Chip
Tesla senior director of autopilot Hardware told the assembled Throng about his firm's brand new D1 Chip, D1 is a Sleek new 7 nanometre stamp of silicon that promises to beef up Tesla's processing Muscle, and, as they make it in-house Escape those irksome production bottlenecks that have hamstrung the entire Auto industry.

To improve the iteration rate and deep learning evolution of its centralized AI Self driving algorithm, those D1 chips Second only to the Apple M1 In terms of processing performance will be grouped in Mighty squadrons of 25 and arranged on a so-called training tile.

120 of these training tiles will comprise the nerve center of Tesla's, new DOJO System
DOJO named for the traditional Japanese House of learning and reflection, is designed to process trillions of real-world data, inputs from testers Fleet and hopefully, one day develop an AI self-driving algorithm that doesn't randomly crash into fire trucks and in future DOJO Autopilot Can Drive a Truck.

Our cars are semi-sentient robots and wheels musk told at AI Day Event, So it kind of makes sense to put that onto a humanoid form, believe it or not. The off-brand Daft, Punk tribute act Musk shared the stage with that day isn't actually a real robot.
It was a man in a suit, doing a dance, but the man in the suit, It was nonetheless illustrating a very important point, a self-driving car capable of navigating a complex Dynamic Real World City, will require similar intelligence, intuition and planning levels to those We'd expect from a regular human, a youthful near future AI enabled boat should, in musk view the be able to go to the store and get groceries for me,that kind of thing.
Tesla has reportedly been working behind the scenes with legendary roboticist Dennis Hong an authority on humanoid robots and the leap from Cars to humanoids need not be that Huge.
After all the margin for error on a self driving truck, that might kill a hundred people If it goes Awry is a lot narrower than for one Man sized robot that might drop a tray Once in a while.
The Tesla Robot would soon find countless Real world applications carrying out as musk puts it repetitive and boring tasks. That could be anything as mundane as Sweeping Streets or as dicey is rescuing earthquake victims, Essentially in the future, says musk, physical work will be a choice in light of this must be reiterated his support for a universal basic income, Which would almost certainly become a global policy necessity.
If his dancing robot took all the jobs. not right now, though, he cautioned because the robot doesn't work. details on the robots Inner workings were it must be said thin on the ground. We know it will stand at 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a Tesla FSD computer occupying much of its torso, Its head will contain cameras and will apparently incorporate a screen for communicating important Technical information.

Tesla Robot Specifications
- Height :5 feet 8 inch
- Weight :125 Lbs
- Speed :5 Miles Per Hour
- Carry Capacity: 45 Lbs
- Deadlift :150 Lbs
- Arm Extended :10 Lbs
- Electromechanical Actuators : 40 which is distributed as follows
- Arms : 12
- Neck : 2
- Torso : 2
- Hands : 12
- Legs : 12
Some 50 electromechanical actuators distributed throughout its body 12 in each hand. 12 in each limb and a pair each in its neck and torso will render the bot limber agile and fit, just not too limber, agile and fit.
It will be friendly, of course Joked musk, a man who has repeatedly voiced abject Terror that a I will inevitably lead to Humanity's violent undoing, will set it So at a mechanical and physical level you can most likely overpower it. you can always run away from it.
If you're wondering why musk is venturing into a field. He's previously warned us and others away from his answer is that if Tesla doesn't do it some others will do it.
One Critique of The Design internally codenamed optimus is that its too sleek and human like to be Feasible, the current leader in humanoid robotics Boston Dynamics is nowhere near with its Atlas model, that's been a work in progress for a decade.
Coming to Tesla Bot Cost Will be Starts From $4,000 Musk answered for a question.
Why build a robot to be humanoid? When a four-legged figure is far more stable or why Imagine hundreds of tesla Bots working in a factory when the smartest Factory robots today aren't humanoid in the slightest.
One answer is that if you want assistance servants to navigate the human world, it makes sense for them to resemble this door handles, and staircases are designed for bipeds of a certain height with opposable thumbs.
Most likely the truth Is that a charismatic dancing Robot was exactly what promotional genius Elon Musk needed to Jazz up his boring presentation, which was designed in any case to recruit the software nerds who will actually build Dojo, who presumably lap this stuff up.
and as for Delirious speculation that Tesla Bots will be on the next star ship to Mars, laying the foundations of Mankind's on First Martian Colony. Well, either elon will pull it off in a matter of years like your promises or once again, he's leading us all on a dance like that robot on AI Event.
