Elon Musk’s AI humanoid robot could have a first prototype ready within just three months from now, and it will be called ‘Optimus.’
The robot, the Tesla CEO revealed, will be able to walk around at speeds of 5mph and lift up to 150lbs for its intended purpose of carrying out manual labour.
Musk is set to show off Optimus at the company’s ‘AI Day’ event which is scheduled for the 30th of September and thinks that Tesla could move Optimus from prototype to production as early as next year.
The SpaceX founder claimed the switch to robots doing menial tasks will usher in an ‘age of abundance’ as we would just employ robots to do all the work we don’t want to do. The robots will transform the world more than the electric cars by Tesla themselves, said Musk.
The robot was first teased back during the previous AI Day in August of last year as Musk claimed that the rise of the machines would have profound economic implications. Apart from handling boring and even dangerous tasks, the robots can even pick up shopping or do simple house chores.
And for those worrying about a Terminator-esque end of the world, Musk said that the robot could be easily overpowered by humans. However, he did also say that each robot could develop unique personalities over time.

As she took to the stage to become Glastonbury’s youngest ever headliner on Friday night, 20-year-old Billie Eilish slammed people for caring more about the Depp v Heard court case than the Roe v Wade ruling overturning.
The Roe v Wade overturning ended constitutional protections for abortions, potentially leading to abortion bans in almost half of US states.
The singer was about to perform ‘Try Not To Abuse Your Power’ alongside her brother Finneas, but decided to make a statement prior to the song about the ruling.
‘The song we’re about to do is, I think, one of the favourites that we’ve written and it’s about the concept of power and how we need to always remember how not to abuse it’ she said.
‘And today is a really, really dark day for women in the US. I’m just going to say that as I cannot bear to think about it any longer in this moment.’
In her latest track ‘TV’ the lyrics went on to include; “The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial / While they’re overturning Roe v. Wade.” In an interview, Eilish gave some more context to the lyrics saying that she was surprised people are giving their takes on the Depp trial instead of Roe V Wade.
