The Watch FakeHub Originals Vol. 6 Onlinesecond generation of Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot, made its debut this week at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the US electric vehicle maker said on Weibo. Its unveiling was touted as “witnessing the further evolution of humanoid robots,” according to the Weibo post. Optimus was first released in August 2021, equipped with Tesla’s self-developed neural network and computer vision technology, and was designed to undertake dangerous or tedious tasks such as carrying heavy objects or grocery shopping. Last December, Tesla released a demo of the second-gen robot, which can perform delicate tasks such as picking up an egg and boiling it, demonstrating impressive dexterity. In April, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company plans to start using the Optimus in Tesla factories in 2025. [Tesla Weibo, in Chinese]
