During Tesla's 'We, Robot' event, CEO Elon Musk showcased the Optimus humanoid robots, asserting their potential to perform a wide range of household tasks.
Musk claimed the robots could revolutionize daily life, with capabilities including babysitting, dog walking, and serving drinks. He projected the long-term price of the Optimus to be between $20,000 and $30,000, making it competitive against traditional products.
In a notable demonstration, the robots interacted with attendees, playing games and serving drinks, though reports indicated these interactions were largely orchestrated by remote operators. Musk emphasized the robots' versatility, predicting they would become Tesla's most significant product.
The Optimus robots are expected to enter the market by 2025, with the tech industry closely monitoring their development and potential impact on labor dynamics.
