There are more and more robots in the market, such as Boston's power robot, Xiaomi robot Cyber family "Tie Dan" and Tie Da ", and Xiaopeng intelligent robot horse.

Tesla 's "Optimus" robot , also known as "Tesla Humanoid Robot", made its debut in mid-August last year and will announce updates on Tesla's second AI DAY on September 30. Lots of details. Musk has pointed out that Optimus may even be more important than the car business, and that production of the first humanoid robot will begin in 2023.

Optimus  is 172cm tall and has a screen on its head to display information. It is said to have a 360° field of view monitoring, and the longest monitoring distance can reach 250 meters. The overall weight is only 56.7kg, the action speed can reach up to 5.8 miles per hour (about 9.33 kilometers per hour), and it can lift up to 45 pounds (about 20.41Kg).

The surface of the Optimus  body is made of a special lightweight material that Tesla says is "smoother than human skin."

The Optimus "brain" is a DOJOD1 supercomputing chip with extremely powerful computing power. It is interconnected through the Dojo interface processor. 25 chips form a training unit with a computing power of 9 petaflops; built-in autonomous driving system, installed 8 The full self-driving system uses the same system Tesla uses in its cars.

Optimus  movement relies primarily on 40 electromechanical actuators in the neck, arms, hands, legs, and torso. Among them, the 12 electromechanical actuators in the hand allow the robot to achieve a level of dexterity close to that of humans, which means that Optimus can perform some precise human manual tasks, thereby replacing more complex human labor. The legs also contain force feedback sensing devices.

Musk revealed in April that the Optimus is expected to sell for $25,000. Converted to RMB about 170,000 yuan.
