Entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla Motors Elon Musk has revealed the ‘Tesla Bot’ which will allegedly make physical work a choice. A 125 pound 5’8” anthropomorphic drone, the robot is set to release next year. Well, maybe not, as full self driving cars have been promised for years now as well. It is intended to automate repetitive tasks, making physical work a choice and no longer a requirement.
Musk revealed that the robot was designed to have human form in order to fit in and navigate a human world. It would not be an industrial or military threat, and will allegedly have a screen on its face for useful information. Musk framed the step into the future as the next logical step for the company. Assuring people terrified of a robot invasion that the AI will be completely safe, Musk’s timeline for the release of such technology has been notoriously off by a couple of years. So the robots are coming… just not exactly yet.
