We know humanoid robots--androids--are moving from the realm of sci-fi into real- life usefulness. Every tech pundit from Bill Gates to Jeff Bezos seems excited about their promise, and Peter Diamandis, entrepreneur behind the technology-advancing X Prize, even imagines that "millions, then billions" of them are incoming. But will these future visions come true soon?
Elon Musk certainly thinks so. At Tesla's shareholder meeting, the CEO again outlined his plans to make Tesla more of a robot-making company than an EV manufacturer.
…The Optimus robot, which Tesla first revealed as a concept back in late 2021 and has steadily worked to develop since then, may actually become Tesla's key product, Musk thinks. To back up his words, Musk said that Tesla would be using about 1,000 of its own androids next year. The entrepreneur recently said that his company was already trialing two Optimuses on the factory floor.
Musk does have a way of promising big things, but he gets enough results to keep things going. I find it interesting that he's already planning on diversifying Tesla's products just as the EV backlash builds up momentum.
Oh you don't like EVs? Buy one of our robots.
