known as Optimus is a conceptual general

purpose robotic humanoid under

development by Tesla Inc it was

announced at the company's artificial

intelligence AI Day event on August 19th

2021 with CEO Elon Musk stating that a

prototype would likely be built by 2022

the Tesla bot is designed to be a

general purpose by pedal autonomous

humanoid robot capable of Performing

tasks that are unsafe repetitive or

boring it is planned to measure 173 cm

tall and weigh 125 lb with a carrying

its limbs in space and demonstrating its

flexibility by maintaining a yoga pose

however the development of the Tesla bot

has not been without its challenges the

company has had to design and build its

own actuators which are key components

for robots as they create most motion by

converting stored energy into mechanical

work this is because there were no

off-the-shelf actuators that worked well

for Optimus despite these challenges

Tesla has made significant progress with

the development of the Tesla bot as of

May 2023 multiple fully Tesla made Bots

are now walking around and learning

about the real world the robots can now

walk forward slowly without stumbling

and can pick up items and recognize

objects however it's important to note

that the Tesla bot is still in the early

stages of development

and it's unclear when it will be

available for

purchase Elon Musk has stated that he

hopes to have the robot production ready

by 2023 and that Optimus will eventually

be able to do anything that humans don't

want to

do despite the progress made some

experts have expressed skepticism about

the project for example Carl Barry a

lecturer of Robotics engineering

described the 2021 AI Day presentation

as the usual overblown hype other

experts have questioned how advanced the

project really is and criticize the

choice of a humanoid

form in conclusion the Tesla bot is a

promising development in the field of

Robotics with the potential to perform

tasks that are unsafe repetitive or

boring however it's still in the early

stages of development and it remains to

be seen how it will perform in real

world

conditions the Apollo is a humanoid

robot developed by optronic Inc a small

business based in Austin Texas in

collaboration with NASA the robot is

designed for use on Earth in various

sectors such as Logistics manufacturing

home delivery and patient

care however NASA is also interested in

potentially adapting the robots for use

in space to serve as assistance for

astronauts living and working on the

surface of the Moon and Mars and to act

as remote avatars for human operators on

Earth Apollo stands at 5T 8 in 1.7 m

tall and weighs 160 lb 72.6 kg it can

lift up to 55 lb 25 kg and is designed

to be mass-- produced and safely work

out so it can operate for a 22-hour

workday the robot is modular and can be

mounted to any Mobility platform

stationary or fully mobile with legs it

features LEDs in its head mouth and

chest that work together to communicate

its status it also has hot swappable

battery packs each with a 4-Hour runtime

allowing Apollo to continue working with

a simple battery change in instead of a

plug-in charge during which time it is

not operational the design of Apollo

emphasizes modularity allowing it to be

reconfigured to perform different

functions it can be equipped with

different levels of dexterity autonomy

and the ability to utilize tools

depending on which tasks it needs to

perform NASA has contributed expertise

on how to develop mobility and software

features that provide safe robotic

operation when working alongside humans

the initial goal for Apollo is to work

in logistics taking on physically

demanding roles inside warehouses to

improve the Supply Chain by addressing

labor

shortages however optronic has a

long-term vision for Apollo that extends

for at least the next decade the company

envisions Apollo performing tasks that

are dull dirty and dangerous so humans

don't have to in the future Apollo could

be used in construction the production

of electronics retail spaces home

delivery and even Elder

Care Apollo's design is rooted in the

design of NASA's Valkyrie robot and the

aponic team has spent years building

unique robots and components that

culminated in a humanoid that could

function in environments designed for

people the robot's brain or main

computer is located in its chest sensors

help the robot remain oriented as it

walks over or around obstacles this kind

of locomotion will be key as Apollo

makes its way into more uncertain

environments such as the outdoors and

someday even the surface of the

Moon details the Phoenix is a humanoid

aren't enough people to do that work in

a trial project Phoenix has been shown

packing clothes into plastic bags in the

back room of a Canadian shop a task that

engages a lot of different complex

issues use in an aid driven robotic

system Sanctuary AI has a system for

training Phoenix on specific tasks like

bagpacking in partnership with a

business it will film a particular task

being done and then digitize the whole
