Tesla Engineer Admits Optimus Robots Were 'Human Assisted To Some Extent' At Robotaxi Unveiling Event
Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:TSLA) humanoid robot Optimus was human-assisted "to some extent" at the 'We, Robot' event last week, company engineer Milan Kovac said on Wednesday.
特斯拉公司的(纳斯达克:TSLA)人形机器人奥普蒂默斯在上周的“我们,机器人”活动中,在公司工程师米兰·科瓦奇(Milan Kovac)周三表示,“在某种程度上”得到人类的帮助。
What Happened: The "We, Robot" event was held by Tesla on Oct. 10 at Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.'s movie studio near Los Angeles. The company unveiled its dedicated two-seater robotaxi product, nicknamed the Cybercab, complete with butterfly wings that open upwards in addition to a Robovan that can accommodate up to 20 people.
事件介绍:特斯拉于10月10日在华纳兄弟探索公司(Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.)位于洛杉矶附近的电影工作室举办了“我们,机器人”活动。公司展示了其专门的双座机器人出租车产品,被昵称为Cybercab,除了可以容纳多达20人的罗宝车之外,还配备了向上展开的蝴蝶翅膀。
The event also had the company's humanoid robots interacting with the guests at the event.
活动还让公司的人形机器人与来宾互动。
"We had about 20 active bots at all times – walking through a packed crowd, dancing, taking selfies, or even pouring drinks and handing out snacks," Optimus engineer Kovac said. The robots, he said, were "human-assisted to some extent" to showcase the company's vision.
“我们一直有大约20个活跃的机器人 – 在拥挤的人群中行走,跳舞,自拍,甚至倒酒和分发小吃,”奥普蒂默斯工程师科瓦奇说。他表示,为了展示公司的愿景,这些机器人“在某种程度上得到了人类的帮助。”
One of the robots also fell down after someone's handbag caught its hand, Kovac said, implying that Tesla still has some way to go before the robots are perfect in its operations.
科瓦奇表示,其中一台机器人在有人的手袋勾住手部后摔倒了,这暗示特斯拉在机器人操作方面仍有一段路要走。
The company, however, made significant improvements in Optimus' hardware stability and infrastructure to operate the robots in a public outdoor environment, the engineer noted.
然而,工程师指出公司在优化奥普蒂默斯的硬件稳定性和基础设施方面取得了显著进展,以在公共户外环境中操控这些机器人。
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for a statement.
特斯拉并未立即回复彭博社要求发表声明。
Why It Matters: During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June, Musk said that there will be at least one humanoid robot for every person in the world in the future, implying a total humanoid robot population of at least 10 billion or more, of which the EV company will have a significant share.
这很重要:在特斯拉的年度股东大会上,马斯克表示,未来每个人都将拥有至少一台人形机器人,意味着总共将会有至少1000亿台人形机器人,其中特斯拉将占据相当大的份额。
"While autonomous vehicle is a $5-$7 trillion market cap situation, Optimus is a $25 trillion market cap situation," Musk then said.
"虽然自动驾驶汽车是一种市值为5-7万亿美元的局面,但Optimus是一种市值为25万亿美元的局面," 马斯克随后说道。
Musk expects to be able to sell Optimus at $10,000 or $20,000, at a lower price point than Tesla's cheapest Model 3 sedan, once it reaches high-volume production.
一旦 Optimus 达到高产能,马斯克预计能够以 10,000 或 20,000 美元的低价格销售机器人,价格低于特斯拉最便宜的 Model 3轿车。
In July, the CEO also said that the EV company would have "genuinely useful" humanoid robots in low production for use within its factories next year. The company will "hopefully" increase production for other customers in 2026, he said.
7月,首席执行官还表示,这家电动汽车公司明年将在低产量下拥有"真正有用"的人形机器人,用于工厂内使用。他表示,该公司将"希望"在2026年增加对其他客户的产量。
