Watch: Elon Musk shares video of Tesla robot 'Optimus' doing Namaste

Elon Musk has shared a video of Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, showcasing its capabilities. The robot can calibrate its limbs using vision and joint position encoders, and its neural net runs on-board using only vision. Musk envisions Optimus performing simple tasks initially, such as sorting colored-blocks, and eventually taking on repetitive or dangerous jobs. The robot is equipped with AI software and sensors similar to Tesla's Autopilot system and may cost around $20,000. Musk believes that humanoid robots like Optimus will bring about a fundamental transformation in civilization.
