In May, Musk said that the world\u2019s most valuable carmaker would be \u201cworth basically zero\u201d without achieving full self-driving capability, and it faces growing regulatory probes, as well as technological hurdles. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be lots of technical detail &#038; cool hardware demos,\u201d Musk wrote on Twitter late on Wednesday, adding the event was aimed at recruiting engineers. <\/p>\n<p>Tesla\u2019s live demonstration record is mixed. Launches typically draw cheers, but in 2019 when Musk had an employee hurl a steel ball at the armored window of a new electric pickup truck, the glass cracked.<\/p>\n<p>The key test for the robot is whether it can handle unexpected situations.  <\/p>\n<p>Musk announced Tesla\u2019s plan for humanoid robots at its AI day in August last year and delayed this year\u2019s event from August to have its robot prototype working, with a plan to start production possibly next year.  <\/p>\n<p>Tesla teased the unveiling of the bot on social media with an image of metallic robotic hands making a heart shape. But building human-like, versatile hands that can manipulate different objects is extremely challenging, said Heni Ben Amor, a robotics professor at Arizona State University. <\/p>\n<p>Initially, Optimus, an allusion to the powerful and benevolent leader of the Autobots in the Transformers media franchise, would perform boring or dangerous jobs, including moving parts around Tesla factories or attaching a bolt to a car with a wrench, according to Musk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much about what people can do dexterously that\u2019s very, very hard for robots. And that\u2019s not going to change whether the robot is a robot arm or whether it\u2019s in the shape of a humanoid,\u201d Jonathan Hurst, chief technology officer at Agility Robotics, a humanoid robot firm, told Reuters. <\/p>\n<p>Musk has said that in the future robots could be used in homes, making dinners, mowing the lawn and caring for the elderly, and even becoming a \u201cbuddy\u201d for humans or a sex partner.<\/p>\n<p>He is due at Friday\u2019s event to give updates on Tesla\u2019s much-delayed plan to launch self-driving cars, and on its high-speed computer, Dojo, which was unveiled last year and the company has said is integral to its development of self-driving technology. <\/p>\n<p>Musk has said he expects Tesla will achieve full self-driving this year and mass produce a robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedal by 2024. <\/p>\n<p>At an \u201cAutonomy\u201d event in 2019, Musk promised 1 million robotaxis by 2020 but has yet to deliver such a car.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Hyunjoo Jin; Additional reporting by Akash Sriram; Editing by Peter Henderson and Daniel Wallis)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/business\/elon-musk-set-to\/attachment\/file-photo-frame-grab-of-tesla-bot\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8T0IF-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8T0IF-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Hyunjoo Jin SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) \u2013 Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said a robot business will be worth more than its cars, and on Friday investors, customers and potential<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1666408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1666408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1666408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1666408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
