After announcing that this year's Artificial Intelligence Day will be postponed to the end of September, Tesla released a preview earlier, hinting that it will further explain the humanoid robot it showcased last year.Optimus.
Last year, Tesla announced the launch of its self-developed D1 AI chip, built on a 7nm process. It boasts a 9000 teraflops of computation per second on a single training block. By integrating 120 training blocks into a server rack, even more computing power can be achieved for AI training. The "Dojo" boasts over 50 training nodes and is used for computing-intensive applications like self-driving training.
Tesla anticipates the humanoid robot will be used for repetitive tasks and in hazardous environments. The robot, 5 feet 8 inches tall (1.55 meters) and weighing 125 pounds (57 kilograms), can display expressions or messages on a screen. Its human-like limbs are driven by 40 motors, provide interactive feedback, and can walk steadily on two feet.
In a previous statement, Tesla CEO Elon Musk expected to start mass production of humanoid robots in 2023, and that they would be able to change many lifestyles and work styles. He even expected that the humanoid robot business would be more valuable than electric vehicles in the future.
