During the meeting, the shareholders of Tesla, Elon Musk talked about the program, Optimus, which includes the creation of robots humanoidë to the more advanced. Musk described the Optimus as a project, the most important of the Teslës and sometimes, even more revolutionary than the other technologies and innovative in that work, the company, as well as robotaksi a fully self-governing, that is going to be presented soon.
Therefore, in the vision of Musk, not humanoidë Optimus would represent a step in the epokal forward in the automation of the industry, and even to exceed a technology for the taxis without drivers.
The provisions of Elon Musk
Elon Musk has shared some of the insights plenty of laughter. He anticipated a scenario of a future in which robots Optimus, can be produced in a cost-effective manner on a large scale, and will be sold with the price level, thus generating yet marzhe winning the draw. In particular, Musk expects that each robot is only able to montohet the cost of production of 10,000 dollars, so it is relatively low, taking into account the characteristics of the art that will be provided.
The price of the retail industry have to be about 20,000 dollars, double the amount of the costs for the industry. This will allow the Teslën to make significant profits on each unit of the trade. Seeing the potential in the global market, Musk hipotezoi that the demand for this type of robot humanoid it can to achieve the level of depth of 1 billion units to be purchased every year.
Now, it aims to provide a share of at least 10% of those sales, so the 100 million robots in the year. During the meeting, Musk announced that more than 1,000 of the robots humanoidë they should be already in place in the factories of the company until the next year, although he specified that the output will still be limited.
Musk dreams of robots Optimus, who produce itself, as in the Terminator
These robots humanoidë are designed to perform in a wide range of tasks, from the operation of complex industrial facilities to the duties of the simple household as well as that of clothes, cooking, and cleaning. Even Musk dared to be compared the ability of their own, with characters and worlds of the Star Wars R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Bots Optimus will be equipped with the same technology, artificial intelligence as well as additional vetëdrejtuese of the Tesla-s, thereby allowing them to learn new skills by observing and analyzing the demonstration video. But Musk goes even further... This is the ability to learn continuously, can pave the way for a scenario futuristikë, in which the robot may be involved in the production of their own. Whether he thought any man to the Terminator by chance?...

While the dream of Elon Musk, for the automation of industrial unprecedented it may be tempting, it is important to take into account the implications of the potential ethical and social transformation to be like this. It will be critical to the balance of innovation and technology with the idea of caring about the effects on the labour force of the human, and the long-term sustainability of a future fully automated.
