Tesla aims to sell the humanoid robots, Optimus by the end of 2025
$Tesla(TSLA.US$ $BYD COMPANY(01211.HK$ $NIO Inc(NIO.US$ $XPeng(XPEV.US$ The article reported that Tesla has shared a new video of its Optimus humanoid robot, showing off the technology’s ability to sort battery cells, take walks, and perform other factory tasks.
In a post made on the Optimus X account on Sunday, the humanoid robot is seen using its end-to-end neural network to perform basic factory tasks, including sorting 4680 battery cells. The video highlights the robot’s ability to do so autonomously, even fixing its own mistakes as it goes along.
As the video notes, the Optimus robot uses cameras, hand tactile sensors, and force sensors to collect data about its surroundings. The company also says the robot is already being tested at one of the company’s factories, with human interventions continuing to decrease as Optimus improves over time.

My Take: Tesla showed with evidence that Optimus is performing factory tasks.
During Tesla’s Q1 2024 earnings call last week, Elon Musk highlighted that Optimus has already been performing factory tasks and is expected to become more widely used in the coming years. He says that Tesla expects to have the Optimus units performing a range of useful tasks in the factory by the end of this year, while it’s aiming to sell the robots externally by the end of 2025.
Besides, I realized that Optimus is designed in the same principle as FSD V12, meaning it learns like a human (artificial intelligence) and improves while performing tasks.
> Using end-to-end neural networks to sort battery cells, with the system autonomously recovering from any failures.
> Optimus is currently being trained at one of our factories, with fewer human interventions over time, and is now taking longer walks around the office.
> It runs in real time on the bot's FSD computer, using only 2D cameras, along with hand tactile and force sensors.
> The training data comes from human teleoperation and is scaled across the fleet to perform different tasks.
Skeptics will attack EM by comparing Optimus's performance with other robotics companies (as usual). Like I said previously, only time will tell if Optimus can be the next successful products.

FF-Rise : I don't think Optimus Prime is developing very fast
ZnWCOP FF-Rise: It depends on what you are comparing - technology breakthrough or product development. Elon Musk is aiming to sell Optimus by end 2025.
