Tesla has once again made headlines in the tech world with their latest creation. At the AI Day 2022 event, Tesla showcased an unfinished prototype of their humanoid robot, which has been designed to perform tasks that are repetitive, dangerous or boring for humans.
The robot, which stands at 5’8″ and weighs 125 pounds, was presented by Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who discussed the robot’s capabilities and potential applications.

The prototype displayed at the event was able to walk and carry up to 45 pounds, but the team is still working on improving the robot’s speed, agility and balance. The humanoid robot is also fitted with a camera system to help it navigate its environment and avoid obstacles. The robot is equipped with a range of sensors, including lidar and radar, to ensure it can operate safely in any environment.
While some experts have expressed doubts about the feasibility of a humanoid robot that can safely interact with humans, Musk is optimistic about the robot’s potential. He believes that the Tesla humanoid robot will eventually become a common sight in workplaces and homes around the world.
The unveiling of the Tesla humanoid robot has generated significant interest in the tech industry, with many eagerly anticipating further updates on its progress. Musk’s ambitions for the future of robotics are clear, and the development of the humanoid robot prototype marks an exciting step forward in this journey.
