At the Cybercab and Robovan unveiling event by Tesla, the humanoid robot Optimus stole the show. Interacting and conversing with guests, Optimus even served beer in glasses. However, renowned tech influencer Robert Scoble, who was invited to the event, revealed that Optimus is not entirely autonomous. Some functions are controlled remotely, as confirmed by Tesla engineers. While Optimus’ walking is AI-driven, other actions, including beer serving, are remote-controlled. Tesla has kept technical details about Optimus scarce, only mentioning that the robot is assisted by a human.
TLDR: Tesla’s Optimus robot wowed guests at the unveiling event with its human-like interactions but is not fully autonomous, with certain functions being controlled remotely by a human.
