Elon Musk announced on Thursday that Tesla will build a humanoid robot called the Tesla Bot. A prototype of it is to be presented next year.

The CEO of Tesla mentioned that the robot will be created to “perform repetitive, boring and dangerous tasks”.
Elon Musk believes that physical work will become an option for humanity in the future, and a universal basic income will be needed because technology could completely eliminate some human jobs.
“We’re good at sensors and batteries, and we’ll probably have a prototype next year that looks like this,” Musk said.
An actor dressed in a costume designed to show that the Tesla robot danced on stage at the “Al Day” event. Musk wanted to make it clear that the actor was not a real robot, but “Tesla Bot will be real.”
Elon Musk also mentioned that the robot will also be able to perform household chores. “You can talk to him and tell him ‘Please lift that screw and attach it to the car with a wrench’ and he should be able to do that. “Please go to the store and buy the following food.” This kind of thing. I think we can do that. “
The CEO of Tesla is known for his passion for science fiction, and that worries some people. Many fear that the whole idea of Elon Musk could lead to a situation like in the movies “I, Robot” or “The Terminator”.
Elon Musk has already thought about what the robot will look like. The Tesla Bot will have a height of 1.72 m and about 56 kilograms. It will be able to lift almost 70 kilograms and carry 20 kilograms at 2 meters per second.
