Abstract:
A few days ago, Musk disclosed the latest plan for Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus at the Barron’s Investment Conference. Musk said that the initial cost of
Optimus Prime may be similar to that of an electric car. The initial cost of each robot is about US$30,000, which will then drop to about US$20,000. Deliveries are expected to begin around the end of 2027, but the delivery form may be "renting" rather than "selling."
He also said that before external delivery, Optimus Prime will be used in Tesla's own factory to complete a large amount of practical training and polish its operating capabilities.
The Fremont factory has started early trial production of Optimus Prime. The production line has a long-term planned annual production capacity of 1 million units, but it will still take some time to reach full mass production.
Humanoid robots are Tesla's long-term strategic focus. Musk believes that the future market space of this business is huge. Whether Optimus Prime can be successfully implemented is also a key assessment condition for its ten-year salary plan.
According to Musk's expectations,
Optimus Prime's work efficiency can reach 5 times that of ordinary human workers, and it can continue to complete repetitive industrial work. It is the next generation productivity carrier that Tesla is betting on
.According to official information, "Optimus Prime" is 173cm tall and weighs about 57 kilograms. It has a display screen on its head for interactive display of information. It walks on two legs, with a maximum speed of 1.2 meters/second and a maximum load of 20 kilograms.
The intelligent system reuses Tesla's FSD pure vision solution, is equipped with multiple cameras, and relies on self-developed AI chips to make perception decisions, completing the closed loop of perception, decision-making, and execution within 0.3 seconds.
The whole body has 38 degrees of freedom of movement, and a single bionic hand has 22 degrees of freedom. It can complete precise operations such as grasping and assembly. With a 2.3kWh 4680 battery, it can work continuously for about 10 hours.
