Related: Tesla’s Optimus Robot Can Now Walk And Perform Simple Tasks Daily chores done, Optimus is then allowed to relax with some yoga. The great advantage of robots is, of course, that they don’t ever need to relax or take vacations or ask for 40 percent pay raises, but this little segment shows how much better the robot’s balance is. We see it standing on one leg and stretching out its arms and legs. Yoga-buffs aside, there are plenty of people who can’t do that, and Tesla’s clearly trying to show us that Optimus won’t necessarily trip up and spill boiling coffee on your lap when you send it to get one 15 years down the line when we can buy these things as butlers. The latest video follows on from another clip released in May of this year that showed Optimus robots walking slowly, recognizing their environments, and performing simple tasks. As we noted at the time, the bots don’t appear anywhere near as sophisticated as the faintly terrifying machines being produced by Boston Dynamics, but then Elon Musk suggested a bargain price of around $20,000 for Optimus. There’s a long road ahead, but if you currently work in an Amazon distribution center don’t expect to still be working there 20 years from now. TAGS
