The artificial intelligence team of Tesla is moving earlier with developing humanoid robots and manufacturing fully self-governing cars. The 2nd AI Day of Tesla started on Friday at 5 pm. It was supposed to present some of the excellent advancements in the AI field. Keep in mind that the company’s CEO Elon Musk announced the “Tesla Bot” at the first AI Day.

Moreover, a humanoid robot was the key announcement of the event with getting the code-name “Optimus”. People only discovered specifications last year, illustrating what the Tesla Bot looks like. It was a mockup idiot and bumpy dance from someone wearing an Optimus dress in a strange attempt. Musk prolonged the 2nd AI Day to hold on for a physical prototype of the Tesla Bot.

Meanwhile, previous events in this streak excellently presented flashy technology such as the AI Day 2021. Musk tweeted on Thursday, this event is designed for headhunting highly technical AI & robotics engineers. Tesla is recruiting Tesla Bot engineers to develop walking humanoid robots and wheeled models for factories.

FSD Beta Tech of Tesla for its Vehicles

Tesla is seemingly looking to ease the burden, presenting the Tesla Bot as a more intelligent and helpful assistant. The company displayed an image of robot hands creating a heart shape on its Instagram page. The concept clearly indicates that the Tesla Bot would become a longer-term FSD Beta project. It is important that the FSD Beta technology of Tesla is used to move its vehicles around full self-governing capabilities.

However, Tesla hasn’t yet announced complete details regarding the AI event. We believe the company will stream the event on its YouTube account similar to its first Tesla AI Day event. Musk implemented the same approach he used for high-profile events for Tesla and 2 of his other owned companies. These 2 companies include a brain-computer interconnect designer Neuralink company and a rocket-making company SpaceX.

Tesla Bot will move using 40 Mechanical Controllers

The company designed a 125-pound, human-size, battery-powered robot. It will move with the support of 40 mechanical controllers, including 12 in its hands to perform human-level operations. The robot can lift 150 pounds and move around using 8 high-quality cameras. The fundamental design shows the company is using the same computer dedicated to the vehicles of Tesla.

However, developing a robot isn’t a simple task as it needs to handle various types of humans and environments. It can efficiently decrease the complications of operating in a more critical and controlled workplace, like a factory or warehouse. Tesla is starting to make its Autopilot working functionality only on freeways for its self-driving car work.

Artificial Intelligence Uses Data to Train Systems

It is noteworthy that AI (artificial intelligence) typically refers to using gargantuan stock of real-world data. The AI uses this data to train computer systems to determine patterns and understand situations to make decisions. It is a thoughtful change from the deeper rebukes of traditional programming. Moreover, Big Tech is constantly investing billions of dollars in AI-related projects such as Google search results.

Tesla’s CEO supported the establishment of a laboratory, “OpenAI”. The lab maintains advanced natural language processing with the GPT-3 AI model. It has demonstrated creativity after transforming text prompts into artwork with another DALL-E AI model. The key objective of the OpenAI is to confirm that the general benefits of artificial intelligence are all of humanity.
