On September 29th, Elon Mask saidTeslaWe're pushing OptimusOptimus）Humanoid RobotScaled production. In his view, the product would eventually become the most important product under the Tesla flag。
Tesla Optimus, the company's human robotics project, was first made public several years ago, and its importance has increased significantly over the past year and has become a more central focus of Tesla's attention. Last October, Tesla was at the We, Robot campaign, which took on the tasks of carrying wine, performing entertainment and interacting with participants。
However, achieving true scale production of the Optimus Pillar remains a challenge for Tesla. Despite Tesla ' s ambitious planning of the robot ' s production, part of the project has become more difficult than expected and more challenging than others。
One of the most important challenges is robotic hand development. Tesla hopes that the hand of Optimus will be flexible enough to even complete the “drill-through” exercise, which is an extremely difficult goal。
In addition, the expansion of volume production and the optimization of manufacturing processes may be a challenge for Tesla. Mask stressed that Tesla was “deployed to scale up the production of the Optimus”. As the project is critical for the future development of Tesla, addressing the issue of scale production has become a key task。
MASK ALSO MADE VERY FORWARD-LOOKING PROJECTIONS OF THE PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPTIMUS AND THE FUTURE IMPORTANCE OF TESLA. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH, HE STATED THAT THE FUTURE OPTIMUS WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPANY VALUE OF TESLAYO 80%. IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, HE ALSO STATED AT A TELEPHONE CONFERENCE IN TESLA IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2024 THAT OPTIMUS WOULD “BE ABSOLUTELY DOMINANT IN COMPANY VALUES”。
MASK NOT ONLY STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF OPTIMUS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF MONEY AND INCOME, BUT ALSO CALLED IT “THE MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT IN HISTORY” -- BECAUSE THIS ROBOT IS EXPECTED TO REVOLUTIONIZE HUMAN LIFE. HE SAID THAT HAVING THE OPTIMUS PILLAR WAS LIKE HAVING THE EXCLUSIVE C-3PO AND R2-D2 (NOTE: BOTH ARE CLASSIC ROBOTIC ROLES IN THE STAR WARS SERIES)。
