Last year, Tesla unveiled its Dojo chip and tile. It depends on who you ask.

Investors are expecting a real tech demonstration of the robot, along with updates on Tesla's self-driving technology.

Tesla didn't have a hardware prototype to show last year and made the 2021 announcement with an actor dressed in a Tesla Bot body suit dancing on stage. AI Day precedes Tesla's third-quarter vehicle production and deliveries report which is expected within days. The safety concern should be tantamount in a factory, Kernbaum suggests. However, Kernbaum notes, when it comes to creating a robot that can make a difference in an car assembly plant, there's really no need for Tesla to develop a bi-pedal robot. As Bernstein senior research analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote in a September 30 note ahead of AI Day 2022, In 2018 Tesla "had mistakenly tried to hyper-automate its final assembly (i.e. He said, "Hands are like the ultimate multi-tool. Musk has been promising a truly self-driving Tesla since 2016 when he said a coast-to-coast demo would happen by the end of 2017. Robotic legs require a lot of power, for one thing, which would put strain on any battery Tesla develops for its robotics. Dexterity and in-hand object manipulation are the grand 10-year challenges that will have an obvious impact on all precision manufacturing and on everything really." The result was that Musk soon admitted "excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake," and "humans are underrated." So what happens if you don't actually have a labor shortage? - Tesla didn't have a hardware prototype to show last year and made the 2021 announcement with an actor dressed in a Tesla Bot body suit dancing on stage.

Today, Tesla AI Day is sure to feature news about electric vehicles, but with Tesla, there are always other innovative projects underway.

For this reason alone, we could expect the much-anticipated Cybertruck to be a star of the Tesla AI Day. Musk also said that the new location could possibly not be the US, with sites in Canada and Mexico under consideration as well. For months, there have been rumors about where the next Tesla factory will be opened. Despite the increased power output, the design of the Supercharger V4 will remain basically the same. Over two years later, we are still waiting for self-driving Teslas to be released to the public, much less a self-driving taxi. Therefore, this is further confirmation that Tesla will talk about Optimus at the event to fill the talent void. This AI Day, we can expect updates on the development of the Dojo program. A leaked [ticket to the event](https://twitter.com/ByeonChansoo/status/1574861503206940672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1574861503206940672%7Ctwgr%5Efa4f83f76ee6fd12a7d8a6ee18ae98a271ccc636%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teslarati.com%2Ftesla-ai-team-lead-teaser-ai-day-2022%2F) shows that Tesla is hosting the event at one of its locations in Palo Alto, Calif. The Tesla Cybertruck is also not a brand-new concept -- it was originally introduced in 2019. After all the buzz that Optimus created last year, it can be expected that the humanoid robot will be at the forefront of this year's event. Musk has admitted himself that a major purpose of Tesla AI Day is recruiting. Musk unofficially confirmed that Optimus would be a topic of discussion at this year's event by switching the event date from Aug.

The billionaire has said a robot business will be worth more than its cars, hoping to expand beyond self-driving vehicles that have not yet become a reality ...

A prototype of the robot walked on stage and waved to the seated audience. But building human-like, versatile hands that can manipulate different objects is extremely challenging, said Heni Ben Amor, a robotics professor at Arizona State University. “There’s so much about what people can do dexterously that’s very, very hard for robots. And that’s not going to change whether the robot is a robot arm or whether it’s in the shape of a humanoid,” Jonathan Hurst, chief technology officer at Agility Robotics, a humanoid robot firm, told Reuters. “Our goal is to make a useful humanoid robot as quickly as possible,” Musk said at the event at a Musk said currently humanoid robots were “missing a brain”, saying they don’t have the intelligence to navigate the world by themselves, and they were also very expensive and made in low volume.

There's plenty of synergy between the self-driving technology Tesla's electric vehicle arm has been busy working on and the challenges facing this Optimus robot ...

Tesla also said that the Full Self Driving (FSD) beta went from 2,000 customers in 2021 up to 160,000 customers in 2022. “Biological inspired design,” was a phrase that came up as a way to describe how Tesla engineers were putting the pieces together. The object recognition engine it uses to interact with the world is the same as that used in Tesla vehicles.

If you’re looking for a series of splashy product announcements, you’re going to be disappointed. There’s plenty of synergy between the self-driving technology Tesla’s electric vehicle arm has been busy working on and the challenges facing this Optimus robot.

Two prototype Tesla Bots could walk, wave their arms and grip with fingers. CEO Elon Musk says they'll eventually cost $20000 and should go on sale by 2027.

Tesla uses the same AI software to control the Tesla Bot as it uses in its cars. The full robot body has more than 200 degrees of freedom, 27 of them in the hands alone, Tesla said. The first robot walked at a slow, shuffling pace, with one foot placed just in front of the other. "The number of situations where Optimus is useful will grow exponentially," Musk said. In a video, the bots could do more, including picking up boxes and turning at the waist. The company plans to use it first in
