Musk estimated that the prototype shown could cost less than $20,000 in the future. Later, during a question-and-answer session, Musk explained that Tesla is very good at creating the artificial intelligence and actuators needed for robotics, based on its experience in producing powertrains for electric vehicles.
Musk added that the company’s experience will help it get full-fledged robots into production and begin the process of testing them in their factories.
Tesla’s president had previously emphasized and reaffirmed that the Optimus is intended for the mass market, and this can be seen from its design and functions.
Optimus was shown “naked” on stage, which Tesla called Bumble C. The robot was able to walk forward and perform a dance move. After that, the company showed several videos where the robot performs other tasks, such as picking up boxes.

The Tesla team then presented another prototype showing a “very close to production” version of the Optimus with a fully assembled but not fully functional body – standing on a stand and waving to the audience, demonstrating the range of motion of the wrist and hand. Musk stressed that this device already includes drivers, a battery and everything else, but is “not quite ready for standalone action.”
It includes a 2.3 kWh battery pack, is powered by Tesla’s SoC, and has Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity. Demonstrations focused on looking at the robot’s joints, such as the hands, wrists, and knees, showing how the system processes data for each joint and then searches for common areas in each design to find a method that uses only six different actuators.

Human-like hands are a “biologically inspired design” that engineers say would make them more suitable for picking up objects of various shapes and sizes, holding a 20-piece bag and “fully grasping” small items.
Tesla’s autopilot software has been moved from cars to boats and refitted to work in the new body and environment. Tesla filmed the movements of people performing real-world tasks, such as picking up a box, and then replicated those movements with Optimus using inverse kinematics.
Future applications that the robot can perform may include:
Musk noted that production could begin as early as next year.
